CORTISs RedRed Climbs Global Charts, Album GreenGreen Sustains International Momentum Ahead of 2026 Tour
CORTIS, the South Korean boy band formed by Big Hit Music, is extending its chart presence worldwide after the release of its second extended play, GreenGreen. The title track, “RedRed,” has moved up the Spotify Global Top Songs chart, while the album has maintained strong positions on the Billboard 200, UK Official Charts, and other international lists. The group will launch its first solo tour in July and will perform at two major festivals in June and July.
Spotify Global and Korean charts
“RedRed” entered Spotify’s Weekly Top Songs Global at No. 103 during the week of April 24–30, 2026. In its second week it leapt 42 places to No. 61, the highest position the track has reached. By the week of June 5–11 the song had risen another 10 spots to No. 94, marking a reverse‑trend climb after the group’s broadcast activities for the album had ended. The track has remained on the global chart for seven consecutive weeks. In South Korea, “RedRed” has held the top spot on the Weekly Top Songs Korea chart for six straight weeks, underscoring the group’s domestic popularity.
Billboard and UK chart performance
GreenGreen debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 in its first week, the highest entry for a K‑pop act’s second EP. The album stayed on the Billboard 200 for at least four consecutive weeks, with a position of No. 46 reported for the week of June 13. On the World Albums sub‑chart the EP reached No. 2, and on the Top Album Sales chart it peaked at No. 6; both positions were maintained for five and four consecutive weeks, respectively.
In the United Kingdom, GreenGreen re‑entered the Official Hip‑Hop & R&B Albums chart at No. 38 for the week of June 12–18 after having dropped off the chart the previous week. The rebound demonstrates the album’s continued relevance in the UK market.
2026 CORTIS TOUR and festival appearances
CORTIS will embark on its first solo tour, titled “2026 CORTIS TOUR ‘PUT YOUR PHONE DOWN’,” covering nine regions from July to September. The 14‑show run includes performances in Seoul, Incheon, New York, Toronto, and Kanagawa, Japan. Seven of the North American dates sold out in full, indicating strong demand outside South Korea.
The group has also secured two festival slots. On June 20 it will headline the Allo Bank Festival in Jakarta, Indonesia, and on July 31–August 1 it will appear at Lollapalooza Chicago in the United States. CORTIS is the only K‑pop boy group on the 2026 Lollapalooza Chicago lineup, a first for the festival.
Group background and industry context
CORTIS debuted on August 18, 2025 with the single “What You Want” and released its first EP, Color Outside the Lines, on September 8, 2025. The EP debuted at No. 15 on the Billboard 200 and has sold over two million copies worldwide. The group has earned awards at the 10th Asia Artist Awards, 2025 MAMA Awards, and 40th Golden Disc Awards.
The current chart performance of “RedRed” and GreenGreen, combined with the tour and festival bookings, shows that CORTIS is maintaining momentum beyond its rookie year. The group’s continued presence on major international charts and its expanding live‑performance schedule illustrate its growing influence in the global pop market.
Conclusion
CORTIS’s recent chart gains and upcoming tour demonstrate the group’s ability to sustain and grow its international profile. The reverse‑trend climb of “RedRed” on Spotify, the strong showing of GreenGreen on Billboard and UK charts, and the sold‑out North American tour dates confirm that the band is extending its reach beyond South Korea. The upcoming festival appearances further cement its status as a global act.
