The group CORTIS recorded a reverse climb on the U.S. Billboard main album chart, proving their global power.
According to the latest chart released by Billboard on the 1st (local time) (Sept. 5 issue), CORTIS (Martin, James, Juhun, Sunghyun, Gunho)'s mini-album 2 'GREENGREEN' jumped an astounding 43 spots from the previous week to rank 112 on the main album chart, the Billboard 200.
It was a steep rebound achieved in the 16th week since entering the chart. It is analyzed that the streaming numbers of the tracks rose sharply due to the effect of the recently released mini-album 2 extended edition 'GREENGREEN_playextended', and steady album sales added strength. They also showed their mettle by placing No. 3 on the World Albums chart and No. 10 on the Top Album Sales chart.
The Artist 100 chart, which gauges artists' overall influence, also settled at No. 67, up 23 spots from the previous week, showing a solid presence. The mini-album 2 title track 'REDRED' placed No. 130 on the Global 200 and No. 75 on the Global (excluding U.S.) chart, marking 18 consecutive weeks on the charts.
On domestic music charts, "REDRED" rose to No. 3 on Melon's August monthly comprehensive chart, holding a top-three spot for four consecutive months. This is the longest record for a single K-pop boy group song in the past decade, following BTS's "Dynamite." It has also demonstrated music-streaming power at home and abroad, such as running No. 1 for 18 consecutive weeks on Spotify's Weekly Top Songs Korea.
Meanwhile, after releasing the mini-album 2 extended edition and presenting the new songs "PACK IT UP" and "MONEYMONEYMONEY," CORTIS will wrap up their first tour by holding the "2026 CORTIS TOUR IN JAPAN" at Pia Arena MM in Kanagawa, Japan, from the 4th to the 6th.
