Boy group CORTIS broke the record for the highest number of K-pop group's debut album sales ever. It is a remarkable achievement less than seven months after the album was released.
According to the HYBE music group label Big Hit Music on the 10th, the cumulative sales of Cortis (Martin, James, Ju-hoon, Sung-hyun, Gun-ho)'s first mini album "COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES" recorded 2.069,663 copies (based on the count of the circle chart until April 4).
The album has steadily increased sales since its release in September last year. In particular, it maintained its firepower even after the initial sales (436,367 copies) was tallied. It sold 500,000 copies in the same month, 1 million in November, and 2 million in February this year. Cortis' explosive growth stands out.
"COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES" is an album that debuted as a "Young Creator Crew" where five members co-create music, choreography, and videos. It contains the team's will to think freely, breaking away from the standards and rules set by the world.
The sound source is also strong. The tracks "GO!" and "FaSHioN" are still gaining popularity, with more than 100 million plays each on Spotify, a global audio and sound source streaming platform, and the cumulative number of plays of the entire album exceeding 400 million.
Cortis will release the title song 'REDRED' on April 20 amid this overwhelming momentum. Among the six tracks to be included in the album, the title song will be first introduced, and then active activities such as "Release Party" and appearances on music programs will be carried out. Since the 6th, album photos of the members' natural appearances have been posted on the team's official SNS every day, raising expectations for their comeback.
The 2nd mini album 'GREENGREEN' will be released on May 4. The album also achieved pre-orders of 1,969,384 within two weeks of pre-orders. As there are about three weeks left before the official release, Cortis' chances of achieving a second consecutive "double million seller" are expected.
