CORTIS have crossed a huge new album milestone, with their second mini album ‘GREENGREEN’ surpassing 3 million cumulative copies sold. This incredible achievement solidifies their status as one of K-pop’s fastest-rising global stars and has fans buzzing with excitement.
A Historic Milestone: Joining an Elite Club
BIGHIT MUSIC announced the update based on the latest weekly album chart from Circle Chart, the integrated music chart operated by the Korea Popular Music Industry Association. According to the chart, ‘GREENGREEN’ has reached about 3.099 million copies in cumulative sales.
This phenomenal number puts CORTIS in a very small club for Korean album releases this year. Only two albums released in Korea have passed 3 million cumulative sales so far: BTS’s fifth full-length album ‘ARIRANG’ and CORTIS’s ‘GREENGREEN’. To be among such legendary company speaks volumes about CORTIS’s impact and dedicated fanbase.
Meteoric Rise: From Day One to Global Charts
‘GREENGREEN’ was released on May 4 and moved fast from the start, showcasing the group’s exploding popularity. Based on Hanteo Chart figures, the album sold more than 1.2 million copies on its first day alone, then passed 2 million cumulative copies in just four days.
Its first-week sales reached a stunning 2,313,291 copies, which is more than five times the 436,367 first-week sales recorded by CORTIS’s first mini album ‘COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES’. This monumental jump gives a clear snapshot of how sharply the group expanded its album-buying base between releases, proving their growing global influence.
Beyond domestic charts, ‘GREENGREEN’ also made a significant splash internationally. The album gave CORTIS their own best result on the Billboard 200, reaching an impressive No. 3 on the chart dated May 23. On Spotify, cumulative streams for ‘GREENGREEN’ have surpassed 300 million, further demonstrating their reach and impact in the global music scene.
What’s Next for CORTIS?
While celebrating these massive achievements, CORTIS continue schedules for their first tour, ‘PUT YOUR PHONE DOWN’, bringing their electrifying performances to fans worldwide. With ‘GREENGREEN’ breaking records and setting new benchmarks, there’s no doubt that CORTIS are on an unstoppable trajectory, and fans can’t wait to see what they’ll achieve next.
