According to their agency, Big Hit Music, on the 4th, the title track “Red Red” from CORTIS’s second mini-album secured its 60th No. 1 spot on Spotify’s “Daily Top Songs Korea” chart dated July 2. With this achievement, CORTIS has once again broken the record for the most No. 1 hits by a single boy group in the history of the Spotify Korea charts.
This achievement holds even greater significance because it cannot be explained solely by temporary fan enthusiasm. Not only has the song maintained the top spot on domestic streaming charts for nearly three months since its release, but it has also continued to perform well on global charts and the Billboard charts, demonstrating that Cortis’s music has established itself as content with consistent appeal both domestically and internationally.
Their dominance continued on the weekly charts as well. “Red Red” topped the “Weekly Top Songs Korea” chart for the period from June 26 to July 2, marking its 10th consecutive week at No. 1. Since domestic chart tracking began in 2021, the song now holds both the longest-running No. 1 streak on the daily and weekly charts among boy group tracks.
Even three months after its release, its popularity shows no signs of waning. CORTICE’s monthly Spotify listeners have surpassed 12.4 million, and the track continues to see steady streaming in various countries, including the United States, Indonesia, the Philippines, Brazil, and Mexico. This is significant as it indicates that the group maintains one of the largest global listener bases among K-pop boy groups.
Global achievements continue to pile up. “Red Red” has appeared on Spotify’s “Weekly Top Songs Global” chart for 10 consecutive weeks, setting the record for the longest chart run among boy groups that debuted within the last five years. Their second mini-album, “Green Green,” is also enjoying long-term success, having entered the U.S. Billboard main album chart, the “Billboard 200,” for seven consecutive weeks.
Domestic album sales are also strong. Their second mini-album has surpassed 2.9 million copies in cumulative sales according to Circle Chart, continuing its streak as a million-seller.
CORTIS is set to kick off its first world tour , “2026 CORTIS <Put Your Phone Down>” (2026 CORTIS TOUR ). Starting with performances at the Inspire Arena in Incheon on the 18th and 19th, the group will meet fans in a total of nine cities, including Seoul, New York, and Kanagawa, Japan.
