"global monster rookie" Cortis (CORTIS) is sweeping the music scene with an extraordinary momentum even before their comeback.
According to the agency and music platforms on the 15th, Cortis (Martin, James, Juhun, Sunghyun, Geonho)'s mini album 2 'GREENGREEN' surpassed 707,000 pre-saves (Pre-save) on the global audio·music streaming platform Spotify.
It is an achievement reached in about six weeks since they formalized their comeback schedule on March 6. In particular, even now in the sixth week the numbers continue to rise by about 10,000 a day, proving the explosive interest of listeners around the world in Cortis.
Cortis proudly placed third on Spotify's "countdown chart global" (April 8). This result places them alongside renowned artists such as global pop star Olivia Rodrigo and American singer-songwriter Noah Kahan, demonstrating Cortis's elevated global standing.
The impact in the physical album market is even stronger. According to distributors YG Plus and Universal Music, preorders for the mini album 2 reached 2,020,224 units as of the 13th. With the earlier mini album 1 COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES having broken the record for the most-selling debut album in K-pop history (2,060,963 copies), whether this new release can achieve the historic feat of becoming a "double million seller" for the second consecutive time is a matter of intense interest.
Full-fledged comeback excitement is expected to peak with the pre-release of the title track "REDRED" on the 20th. On that day Cortis will release the song and music video simultaneously and hold an offline "release party" to present their first performance. They will then meet fans through music show appearances.
Cortis's mini album 2 "GREENGREEN" is scheduled to be released through various music sites on May 4. On the official album release day they will hold an even larger second offline "release party" and continue their dominant momentum. A wealth of content, including music videos for the tracks "TNT" and "ACAI," is also lined up.
