CORTIS has entered prestigious year-end settlement of account charts overseas.
CORTIS (Martin, James, Juhun, Sunghyun, Geonho)'s debut album intro track "GO!" was recently selected for Apple Music's released "Best Songs of 2025" (Best Songs of 2025). This is a playlist that selected the 100 best songs released worldwide this year. This time, major artists such as Sabrina Carpenter and Lady Gaga made the list, and CORTIS is the only K-pop boy group. Apple Music also highlighted trends among the global hit songs that lit up the year and mentioned "GO!" as a representative of songs that "sing about the joy and achievements of life," showing high interest.
"GO!" ranked 10th on Spotify's "2025 Best K-Pop" list selected by the global audio and music streaming platform Spotify. It is the ranking chosen by Spotify's official playlist "K-Pop ON!" and editors. Among rookies who debuted this year, CORTIS is the only team to enter that chart.
Rave reviews from foreign media poured in. British music magazine NME ranked "GO!" 25th on "The 25 Best K-Pop Songs of 2025" and wrote, "CORTIS exudes unwavering confidence in this song and shows they are ready to shake the world."
