The group CORTIS's debut album 'COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES' surpassed 400 million cumulative streams on the global audio and music streaming platform Spotify as of the 26th. It is an achievement reached five months after the album's release.
'COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES' reached 100 million streams about a month after its release (on Oct. 12, 2025). It then surpassed 200 million (on Nov. 27, 2025), 300 million (on Jan. 8) and 400 million (on Feb. 26) plays at roughly one-month intervals. This was possible because all tracks were widely loved, led by the single tracks that entered the 'hundreds of millions of streams' tier: 'GO!' (136.66 million plays) and 'FaSHioN' (124.55 million plays), along with 'What You Want' (53.84 million plays) and 'JoyRide' (48.62 million plays).
The region that streamed CORTIS's (Martin, James, Juhun, Sunghyun, Geonho) music the most on Spotify was the United States. Expanding listeners in the North American market was one of the factors that led to their long-running popularity. They have been attracting new listeners while actively promoting locally. On Feb. 12–13 (local time), they became the first K-pop artists to headline a marquee event during the National Basketball Association's All-Star week, and they also sang 'Mention Me,' an insert song for Sony Pictures Animation's new film 'GOAT,' which ranked No. 1 at the North American box office, among other varied activities that reinforced the group's presence.
CORTIS is stepping up preparations aiming to make a comeback in April. After proving their global music strength with last year's released debut album 'COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES,' much attention is focused on their next move.
