The group CORTIS has shaken the global music market with their debut album, proving their overwhelming growth.
According to the world's largest music platform, Spotify, as of the 26th, CORTIS's debut album 'COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES' has surpassed 400 million cumulative streams. This remarkable achievement was made just 5 months after the album's release, a record that is hard to find for a rookie group.
The growth rate is nothing short of explosive. The album achieved 100 million streams within a month of its release and has been renewing its view count by about 100 million each month, rapidly reaching the 400 million mark. It is encouraging that all tracks, including 'GO!', 'FaSHioN', and 'What You Want', have received equal love, driving long-lasting popularity without being concentrated on specific songs.
The key driving force behind this record is the solid support from the North American market. CORTIS has recently been making bold moves in the U.S., solidifying their global presence. On the 12th, they became the first K-pop artist to grace the stage of the NBA All-Star Weekend's main event, and they are quickly absorbing the local fandom by performing the OST 'Mention Me' for the number one animated film in the North American box office, 'GOAT'.
Having proven their global music power with just their debut work, CORTIS is ramping up preparations for a new album aimed at a comeback in April. The world of music is focused on what records these stars, who have captured the U.S. market, will write with their next release.
