Group CORTIS has proven its explosive growth, surpassing 2.31 million copies in first-week sales with their second mini-album, less than a year after their debut.
According to Hanteo Chart, a music sales tracking site, on the 11th, CORTIS's second mini-album 'GREENGREEN' recorded a total of 2,313,291 copies sold during its first week of release (May 4 – 10). This figure is more than five times higher than the first-week sales of 436,367 copies for their first mini-album 'COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES', released last September.
Notably, this is the second-highest record among K-pop albums released this year, following the 4.17 million copies sold in the first week of BTS's 5th studio album 'ARIRANG'. CORTIS became a million-seller instantly by selling approximately 1.2 million copies on the first day of release and achieved double-million-seller status within four days.
The title track 'REDRED' is also making its presence felt on global charts. CORTIS is the first K-pop boy group to debut within the last five years to enter Spotify's 'Daily Top Songs Global' chart. 'REDRED' ranked 93rd on the chart dated the 9th, maintaining its position for 18 consecutive days, and has also entered the 'Weekly Top Songs Global' chart for two consecutive weeks.
CORTIS will release the music video for the B-side track 'ACAI' via their YouTube channel on the 11th at 9:00 PM.
