The group CORTIS is continuing its extraordinary record-breaking streak.

According to the Apple Music 'Today's Top 100: South Korea' chart on July 7, the group's track 'REDRED' has held the number one spot for 73 consecutive days, marking the third-longest reign in history. Since first reaching the top on April 26, the song has not yielded its position for a single day. This achievement is even more remarkable considering the group is in its first year since debut.

'REDRED', the title track of their second mini-album, is expanding its presence beyond Korea and into the global market. As of June 16, the song surpassed 100 million streams on Spotify globally. This milestone was reached just 57 days after its release, making it the fastest record for a song by a K-pop boy group that debuted within the last five years.

The group is also sailing smoothly on the Billboard charts. According to the latest charts released on July 7 (dated July 11), 'REDRED' has remained on the Billboard charts for 10 consecutive weeks. It ranked 63rd on the 'Global 200' and 32nd on the 'Global Excl. U.S.' chart, rising two and three spots respectively from the previous week. It also maintained its position at 11th on the 'Hot Dance/Pop Songs' chart.

Album performance is also providing strong support. The album 'GREENGREEN' entered the 'Billboard 200' at 97th place and has successfully remained on the chart for 8 consecutive weeks, breaking the group's own record set by their first mini-album (which stayed for 5 weeks). They are rewriting the record for the longest-charting single album by a K-pop boy group that debuted within the last five years every week. The industry is paying close attention to the group, as the work is a product of all five members participating in the music, videos, and choreography.

CORTIS will kick off their '2026 CORTIS TOUR <PUT YOUR PHONE DOWN>' at the Inspire Arena in Incheon on July 17–18. This tour has sold out all scheduled dates, including domestic performances and the North American tour in August. Following this, they are scheduled to perform at Lollapalooza Chicago from July 31 to August 1, and at the 'F1 Singapore Grand Prix 2026' on October 9, drawing significant interest to the group's global activities in the second half of the year.
