The group CORTIS backtracked on the Billboard chart once again, boosted by local activities in the U.S.

According to the latest chart released by the U.S. music media Billboard on the 24th (Feb. 28), Cortis' debut album "COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES" ranked 5th in the "World Album," up seven notches from the previous week, maintaining its ranking for 24 consecutive weeks. In "Top Current Album Sales" and "Top Album Sales," which count real album sales in the United States, they re-entered 24th and 33rd, respectively. It showed off its steady popularity by rebounding in the rankings in the sixth month of its release.

The reverse is due to Cortis' performance in the North American market. Cortis recently became the first K-pop singer to decorate the National Basketball Association's All-Star weekly representative event. The five members opened their "admiration" with impressive performances at the headliner performance of the "NBA Crossover Concert Series" and the halftime show of the "2026 Ruffles® NBA All-Star Celebrity Game."

The song "Mement Me," a new song inserted by Sony Pictures Animation, a major Hollywood production company, contributed to the rise in awareness. The film is a box office hit in its second week, topping the North American weekend box office. As a result, local interest in Cortis, who sang the OST, has increased and is believed to have affected the chart.

Sound source power is still powerful. According to the latest data from global audio and sound source streaming platform Spotify (Feb. 23), the cumulative number of plays of seven songs released by Cortis so far has exceeded 400 million. Monthly listeners (number of listeners in the last 28 days) remain above 7.7 million even during inactive periods.

Meanwhile, Cortis is stepping up preparations with the goal of making a comeback in April. Expectations are high for their next work, which is enjoying "long run popularity" with their debut album "COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES" released last year.
