The group CORTIS is aiming for a "double million seller" as its debut album.

According to the latest weekly album chart released by Circle Chart on the 19th (counting period: February 8-14), the debut album "COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES" of Cortis (Martin, James, Ju-hoon, Sung-hyun, and Geon-ho) exceeded 1.92 million cumulative sales. If more than 2 million copies are sold, it will be the second team in K-pop history to shoot a "double million seller" with its debut album.

Cortis's steady popularity is attributed to music and the power of the stage. The initial sales of "Color Outside the Lines" (sales in a week after its release, based on circle charts) were 420,000, and sales exceeded 500,000 in September last year thanks to the appearance of music shows. On top of that, as songs and performances went viral, more than 1.4 million additional copies were sold during the inactive period (October 25 to February 26).

Looking at the trend since October last year, sales have increased significantly during U.S. activities such as "iHeartRadio LIVE with CORTIS" and "The Zane Lowe Show," the halftime show of the Korean national soccer team's A-match Ghana match, and special broadcasts and awards at the end of the year. As a result, it regained No. 1 spot in the monthly album chart (December 25) in the fourth month of its release.

In particular, the popularity of North America, which is unusual for a rookie, stands out. The long-term box office hit on the Billboard chart proves this. Cortis' debut album remained at the top of the list for three months after its release in "Top Album Sales" and "Top Current Album Sales," which count physical album sales in the United States. It is also impressive that whenever the team's new news was announced or the stage was released, it backtracked by more than 10 spots.

Meanwhile, Cortis is stepping up preparations for his new album with the goal of making a comeback in April. Attention is focusing on the next work of those who swept the first, shortest, and best K-pop records with their debut album "Color Outside the Lines" last year.
