CORTIS's 'GREENGREEN' hits 18 weeks on Billboard 200, longest run by a K-pop boy group debut of the past 5 years

18 weeks and a record that puts them in rare company

GREENGREEN, CORTIS's second mini-album, landed at No. 188 on the Billboard 200 dated September 19. That marks 18 straight weeks on the chart. The five-member group—Martin, James, Juhun, Sunghyun, and Gunho—debuted the album in May at No. 3.

Among K-pop albums released this year, only BTS's ARIRANG has stayed on the Billboard 200 longer. BIGHIT MUSIC confirmed that GREENGREEN's 18-week run is the longest consecutive streak on record for any K-pop boy group that debuted in the past five years.

On the same September 19 chart, GREENGREEN ranked No. 4 on World Albums and No. 16 on Top Album Sales. CORTIS climbed four spots week-over-week to No. 74 on Artist 100. Their first mini-album peaked at No. 5 on World Albums and No. 27 on Top Album Sales.

443 million streams and an extended cut still charting

The album's six tracks hit approximately 443.33 million Spotify streams as of September 14. CORTIS then released GREENGREEN_playextended, adding "PACK IT UP" and "MONEYMONEYMONEY." The expanded version debuted on Spotify's Weekly Top Albums Global chart (September 4–10) at No. 166 and has held a position for three consecutive weeks.
