The group CORTIS proved its overwhelming firepower for its comeback by exceeding 1.22 million copies in pre-orders before the release of its 2nd mini-album “GREENGREEN”.
According to record distributors YG PLUS and UNIVERSAL RECORDS, the number of pre-orders for the new work from CORTIS (Martin, James, Juhoon, Seonghyeon, Keonho) was tallied at 1,227,986 copies as of the 2nd of the month. This is a result obtained in just one week after the start of pre-sales on the 27th of last month.
In particular, this figure represents approximately three times the first-week sales volume (436,367 copies) of the previous work and debut album, “COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES”. Given that more than a month remains before the official release date, May 4, it is predicted that the final number of pre-orders will increase further. Previously, CORTIS recorded the second “double million seller” title among debut albums in K-pop history with its 1st mini-album, thus drawing attention to the new records they will establish with this new work.
The reaction in the global music market is also burning. The 2nd mini-album “GREENGREEN” exceeded 605,000 pre-saves as of the 3rd of the month on Spotify, the world’s largest music streaming platform. Furthermore, it steadily maintained itself at the top of the Spotify “COUNTDOWN CHART GLOBAL” weekly chart before settling in 2nd place on the chart as of the 1st, proving the high expectations of global fans.
The new album “GREENGREEN” will contain a total of 6 songs with themes of the values aimed for by the group and points of vigilance. Before the release of the new work, CORTIS will release the title track “Redred” as a pre-release on the 20th and will begin official activities such as a “RELEASE PARTY” and music shows.
Furthermore, CORTIS will take the stage of the major American music festival “LOLLAPALOOZA CHICAGO” next August to pursue its global journey.
