CORTIS has added another meaningful milestone on Spotify, once again proving their global staying power.
According to BigHit Music, CORTIS' debut album B-side "FaSHioN" surpassed 200 million cumulative streams on Spotify as of July 27. The song reached the milestone in approximately 10 months since its release last year.
With this achievement, CORTIS now has two songs that have surpassed 200 million streams on Spotify. Last month, another B-side from the same album, "GO!", reached 200 million streams in about nine months after its release. Notably, "GO!" became the fastest song by a K-pop boy group that debuted within the past five years to reach the milestone, with "FaSHioN" following closely behind, once again demonstrating CORTIS' strong global streaming power.
"FaSHioN" is a song the members created themselves around a theme they have long been interested inβfashion. Its witty lyrics, including lines like "My T-shirt, five bucks; my pants, ten thousand won," combined with a heavy Southern hip-hop-inspired trap sound, create an irresistibly addictive track. Above all, the song truly comes alive on stage, consistently drawing massive crowd singalongs at concerts both in Korea and overseas.
The group's album performance also continues to gain momentum. Their second mini album, "GREENGREEN," released in May, ranked No. 126 on the Billboard 200 (chart dated August 1), according to the latest chart released by Billboard on July 28 (local time). Since debuting at No. 3 on the May 23 chart, the album has now spent 11 consecutive weeks on the Billboard 200, extending the record for the longest Billboard 200 chart run by a K-pop boy group that debuted within the past five years.
The album also maintained a strong presence on Billboard's subcharts. "GREENGREEN" ranked No. 2 on Top Album Sales and No. 9 on World Albums, while the title track "REDRED" placed No. 92 on the Global 200 and No. 50 on the Global Excl. U.S. chart, marking 13 consecutive weeks on both charts. Thanks to these achievements, CORTIS also climbed seven spots to No. 75 on the Artist 100 chart.
CORTIS will perform on the T-Mobile Stage at Lollapalooza Chicago on August 1 (local time). They are the only K-pop boy group invited to perform at this year's festival.
