Hot on the heels, there’s aespa and their jam “Supernova,” which also has 14 consecutive weeks at the number one place in the tally. The most intriguing part? The track is still charting, so there are high chances for the quartet to break NewJeans’ record at some point.

1. NewJeans – “Ditto.” — 14 weeks.
2. aespa – “Supernova.” — 14 weeks.
3. BTS – “Dynamite.” — 11 weeks.
