"this year's best rookie" CORTIS has remained on the U.S. Billboard charts for seven consecutive weeks.
On the Nov. 1 issue of the latest chart released by U.S. music outlet Billboard on the 28th, CORTIS (Martin, James, Juhun, Sunghyun, Gunho)'s debut album COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES ranked No. 3 on the World Albums chart. It also showed strength on U.S. physical album sales charts such as Top Album Sales (No. 24) and Top Current Album Sales (No. 21).
CORTIS has shown unwaning popularity across various metrics, including the Billboard charts. Their Instagram and TikTok account followers reached 5 million on Oct. 27 and Oct. 28, respectively. Considering their follower count was around 3 million last month, that means an increase of more than 60% in just one month. Barely a month after opening their channels, they ranked No. 1 in follower count among rookies who debuted this year on both platforms, and the steep growth trend stands out. Even after the official activities for their debut album ended, they have continued to communicate with fans and attract new fandom members through U.S. concerts, radio appearances, magazine photo shoots and original content.
On domestic music charts, the intro track "GO!" is enjoying a long-running popularity. The song entered the latest Melon weekly chart (tracking period: Oct. 20–26) at No. 96, marking its third consecutive week on the chart. Among boy groups that debuted this year, they are the only team to appear on that chart. Meanwhile, CORTIS is busy fulfilling schedules while receiving love calls from overseas markets. They will appear on Japan's representative music program TBS CDTV Live! Live! on Nov. 3. On the same day, they were invited to perform at NHK MUSIC SPECIAL NHK MUSIC EXPO LIVE 2025 at Tokyo Dome.
