Jungkook (BTS), NewJeans dominate Kpop in 2023, BLACKPINK disappears in this chart

Rookie group NewJeans and Jungkook (BTS) dominate the rankings of the top 10 most popular songs on Korean Youtube. BLACKPINK is stuck in the competition, disappearing on the honor board, sadly losing to their juniors.

Korean media reported on December 29 that among the 10 most popular songs on YouTube Music in Korea in 2023, BTS's Jungkook and NewJeans appeared, but Blackpink's Jisoo disappeared. Specifically, many songs released in 2023 won the hearts of fans and audiences around the world, but most of them were from the girl group NewJeans. Meanwhile, BlackPink's senior generation disappeared on this chart.

In the digital age, there are many streaming platforms where fans can listen to the most popular music. This year, for the first time, YouTube Music secured its position as Korea's most popular music streaming platform, surpassing Kakao Entertainment's Melon in the number of daily users.

At the end of 2023, YouTube released the top 10 most popular songs on YouTube Music in Korea in 2023 (data from January 26, 2023 to December 21, 2023). In particular, NewJeans has up to 4 songs in this top 10 chart. Specifically, the song OMG ranked 2nd with 114.42 million streams, ranked 3rd was Ditto with 111 million streams. 9th and 10th respectively are Super Shy (70.83 million streams) and Hype Boy (69.01 million streams). All are NewJeans songs.

Meanwhile, Jungkook (BTS) has the 6th ranked song Seven with 83.69 million streams. It is worth noting that BlackPink is completely absent from the chart, including songs by solo members. It can be seen that the influence of NewJeans and the new generation of rookie groups is increasingly breaking through and influencing Kpop. This is not the first time NewJeans have surpassed their seniors in these music races.

Previously, Gallup Korea announced a list of the most popular artists in Korea in 2023. This is the result from the survey "2023 Shining Artists" conducted from July to November. Survey collected opinions from 5,262 participants, aged 13 and older nationwide (except Jeju Island). The margin of error for the survey is 2 points for the 13 to 39 age group and 1.9 points for the 40 and older group, with a 95% confidence level.

In the 13 to 39 age group, NewJeans took first place with 27% of the votes. NewJeans is a new group that debuted in July 2022 and has quickly become a phenomenon with incredible growth. This rapid growth is demonstrated by the group climbing from No. 4 in the 2022 Gallup Korea poll to No. 1 this year, attracting the highest number of votes among the 13 to 39 age group. NewJeans' fresh style has gained significant popularity and once again dominated the music industry this year.

2023 is also a tumultuous year for BlackPink, when the noise about the contract with YG Entertainment greatly affects all 4 girls. The highest point was the incident when Lisa was widely 'assassinated' when she had her 18th performance in France.

This year, the Korean music industry continues to witness the development and success of many talented artists. These famous singers have contributed to the vitality and interest of domestic and international fans with unique and diverse music products.
