CORTIS
The group CORTIS has reached 200 million cumulative streams for a single track for the first time since its debut.
“Go!”, a track included in the first mini-album of CORTIS (Martin, James, Juhoon, Seonghyeon, Keonho), surpassed 200 million cumulative plays on the past 26th on the music platform Spotify. This is a result obtained approximately 9 months after the release of the record on September 8 of last year. After recording 100 million streams on January 2 of this year, 116 days after its release, it added 100 million additional plays in about 5 months. This song broke the record for the highest number of streams of the group itself, and it is a unique figure among boy groups having debuted within the last 5 years.
This song was selected as “Best K-pop of 2025” by British media such as NME and Dazed, as well as by Apple Music and Spotify. It ranked in 2nd place on the “The 25 Best K-pop Songs of 2025: Staff Picks” chart published by the American Billboard. In particular, it entered the Billboard “Pop Airplay” chart for the first time on this past March 7, which is 6 months after its release, and then remained there for 14 consecutive weeks. It is rare for the track of a rookie group with less than a year of activity to experience long-term success on this chart, which is based on the number of plays on American radio.
Thanks to the success of the included tracks, the total cumulative streams of the first mini-album “COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES” also surpassed 600 million plays as of June 23. In addition to “Go!”, another included track, “Fashion”, also records approximately 183.5 million plays as of the 27th, and is on the verge of surpassing 200 million. This adds even more meaning to the fact that it is an accomplishment achieved with music in which the members directly participated for the writing of the lyrics and the composition.
