The group CORTIS is making waves with their debut album release.
According to Hanteo Chart on the 9th, CORTIS (comprised of members Martin, James, Juhoon, Seonghyeon, and Keonho) secured the 2nd spot on the daily album chart with their first album 'COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES', released on the 8th. This achievement is notable as they entered the top ranks amidst comebacks from major artists.
The album sold 247,295 copies on its first day, marking the highest first-day sales for a rookie group debuting this year.
Their success extends internationally, as the album appeared on iTunes 'Top Albums' in 18 countries and regions, including Japan, the United States, and Canada, as of 10 AM on the 9th. In the U.S., it reached 37th place. The album also ranked within the top 10 in nine regions, including a number 1 spot in Singapore, and high placements in Thailand and Taiwan.
The intro track 'GO!' reached 71st on Bugs' real-time 'Top 100' chart at 11 PM on the 8th. It's rare for a rookie boy group to enter domestic music charts with a track from their album. The song's choreography has sparked a dance challenge, contributing to its chart performance.
CORTIS will release a performance film for their follow-up track 'FaSHioN' on HYBE Labels' YouTube channel at 6 PM on the 9th. The official music video for this track surpassed 1 million views within 12 hours of its release on the 8th.
