Big Hit Music's rookie group CORTIS has made their first mark on the Billboard charts. According to the latest chart released on the 16th by the U.S. music media Billboard, CORTIS's debut album "COLOR OUTSIDE LINES" entered the "World Albums" chart at number 15. This achievement, by a newly debuted team securing a high position on a chart targeting the global market, is seen as proof of CORTIS's popularity.

CORTIS's album was released in the U.S. on the 12th, after the Billboard chart tracking period had ended. Following their success on the "World Albums" chart, attention is now focused on their performance next week on the main chart, the "Billboard 200." Their follow-up track "FaSHioN" ranked 9th on the "World Digital Song Sales" chart. Among K-pop artists, CORTIS, BTS, BLACKPINK, and Stray Kids appeared on the rankings. CORTIS made a distinctive presence by charting following major groups.

CORTIS's popularity can also be confirmed on Spotify, the world's largest music streaming platform. As of the 14th, the team's monthly listeners surpassed 3 million. This is the result of an additional 2 million listeners joining within 13 days after reaching 1 million listeners on the 1st. The intro track of their debut album, "GO!," held the number 1 spot on Spotify's "Daily Viral Songs Global" chart for three consecutive days and has maintained the number 2 position for four days.

In particular, it also rose to number 2 on the "Daily Viral Songs U.S." chart, further increasing CORTIS's global recognition. They are also popular domestically. "GO!" entered Melon's real-time "Top 100" chart at 9 a.m. on the 16th. Among boy groups that debuted this year, CORTIS is the only team to enter this chart.

CORTIS is a rookie group introduced by Big Hit Music, a label under HYBE Music Group, for the first time in six years. Their debut album "COLOR OUTSIDE LINES" recorded first-week sales of 436,367 copies. This is the highest among rookies who debuted this year and ranks fourth in first-week sales for debut albums of K-pop groups historically. CORTIS is expected to achieve even greater success through their future activities.
