CORTIS
The idol group CORTIS has reached for the 2nd time in total in its career “200 million streams” for a single title.
The song from the first album of CORTIS (Martin, James, Juhoon, Seonghyeon, Keonho) “Fashion“ surpassed 200 million cumulative streams on Spotify as of July 27. This comes about 10 months after the release of the song. The first title with 200 million streams for the group is ““Go!”” included in the same record. This song crossed the milestone of 200 million on the 26th of last month, about 9 months after its publication. It is the fastest achievement of 200 million among the songs of male groups that debuted in the last 5 years, and ““Fashion”” is next.
CORTIS co-created the song on the theme of “fashion”, in which they usually show great interest. Fresh lyrics containing the members’ lifestyle such as “My t-shirt, 5 bucks, my pants, ten thousand won” are impressive. The intense trap sound added to the Southern hip hop genre shines even more during live performances. At each concert in Korea and abroad, explosive sing-alongs break out and it has been loved for a long time.
The second mini-album “GREENGREEN” released in May of this year is also enjoying long-term success. According to the latest ranking (as of August 1st) from the American music media Billboard published on the 28th, this record settled at 126th place in the main album chart “Billboard 200”. After entering at 3rd place on May 23rd, it remains in the chart for 11 consecutive weeks. It is the longest presence in the chart among K-pop male groups that debuted in the last 5 years. In the detailed charts “Top Album Sales” and “World Albums”, it ranked 2nd and 9th respectively. In addition, the title song ““Redred”” ranked in each chart for 13 consecutive weeks at 92nd place in “Global 200” and 50th place in “Global (Excl. U.S.)”. In “Artist 100” which synthesizes these results, they ranked 75th, up 7 places compared to the previous week.
CORTIS proves its international trend presence in North America. On next August 1st (local time hereafter), they will give a performance on the “T-Mobile” stage of the major American music festival “Lollapalooza Chicago“. It is the only participant among K-pop male groups this year. Next, from the 4th to the 16th, they will carry out the North American schedule of their first tour “2026 CORTIS TOUR” in 6 cities including Toronto in Canada and New York in the United States.
