CORTIS's 'REDRED' hits 70 days at No. 1 on Apple Music Korea, setting a record for boy groups debuted in the last 5 years

CORTIS's REDRED has held the top spot on Apple Music's Top 100: South Korea for 70 consecutive days as of July 6. No boy group that debuted in the past five years has kept a single there longer. It's also the longest No. 1 run of any Korean song released this year.

The title track from their second mini-album reached No. 1 on April 26, six days after dropping. On Apple Music's Top 100: Global, REDRED peaked at No. 18 on May 6 and has stayed on that chart for 69 days. Only two Korean boy groups have appeared on that global chart this year: BTS and CORTIS.

Spotify tells a similar story. REDRED crossed 100 million cumulative streams by June 16. CORTIS's entire Spotify catalog has surpassed 900 million plays—100 million of those added in just 19 days. A track from their previous album, GO!, has cleared 200 million streams on its own.

Domestically, REDRED has taken 11 music broadcast wins. (The song weaves "RED" as a boundary and "GREEN" as a direction through its lyrics, per the group's own description.)

The five-member group—Martin, James, Juhun, Sunghyun, and Gunho—is running their first tour, PUT YOUR PHONE DOWN, through September. They perform at Lollapalooza Chicago on July 31 and August 1, the only K-pop boy group on that lineup this year. Rock in Japan Festival 2026 in Chiba Prefecture follows on September 20. The F1 Singapore Grand Prix 2026 main stage on October 9 closes out the run.
