Big Hit Music's youngest group, CORTIS, has maintained a strong presence on the U.S. Billboard charts for seven consecutive weeks.
According to the latest charts released by Billboard on November 1st, CORTIS's debut album 'COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES' secured the 3rd spot on the 'World Albums' chart. The album also showed impressive performance on the 'Top Album Sales' (24th) and 'Top Current Album Sales' (21st) charts, which track physical album sales in the U.S.
CORTIS is gaining popularity across various metrics, including Billboard charts. Their Instagram and TikTok accounts reached 5 million followers on the 27th and 28th, respectively. Considering their follower count was at 3 million just a month ago, this marks a more than 60% increase in just one month. Within a month of launching their channels, they became the rookie group with the highest number of followers on both platforms this year, showcasing a remarkable growth trend.
On domestic music charts, their intro track 'GO!' continues to enjoy long-lasting popularity. The song ranked 96th on the latest Melon weekly chart (for the period of October 20-26), marking its third consecutive week on the chart. CORTIS is the only boy group that debuted this year to make it onto this chart.
CORTIS is set to appear on Japan's prominent music program TBS 'CDTV Live! Live!' on November 3rd. On the same day, they are invited to perform at the 'NHK MUSIC SPECIAL 'NHK MUSIC EXPO LIVE 2025'' held at Tokyo Dome.
