Cortis takes third place on Billboard Album Chart for fastest K-pop group entry
Cortis, the K-pop group, has made waves in the music industry with their second mini-album, “GREENGREEN,” ranking third on the prestigious “Billboard 200.” This achievement marks a significant milestone for the group as they achieved their highest rank to date, surpassing their debut album’s 15th place by a whopping twelve spots.
The album’s success on the charts is highlighted by the fact that Cortis is now the fastest K-pop group to enter the top three on the “Billboard 200” since their debut, excluding project teams. Their album, “GREENGREEN,” recorded a total of 87,000 units, with physical album sales contributing 81,500 copies and the streaming equivalent album (SEA) figures adding 5,500 units to their total. This accomplishment solidifies Cortis’s position as a rising star in the global music scene.
In comparison to Cortis’s success, BTS’s fifth studio album, “ARIRANG,” slipped one spot from seventh to eighth place this past week. However, the group has maintained a position in the top 10 for eight consecutive weeks, showcasing their enduring popularity among fans worldwide.
Meanwhile, American singer-songwriter Noah Kahan’s album, “The Great Divide,” claimed the number one spot on the chart for the third consecutive week. This feat is particularly noteworthy as it marks the first time since 2013 that a rock album has held the top position for three weeks in a row. Rising country artist Ella Langley secured the second spot with an impressive 100,000 units.
Additionally, Michael Jackson’s albums have seen a resurgence in popularity, thanks to the success of his biopic. His iconic album, “Thriller,” claimed the fifth spot on the chart, while “Number Ones” ranked sixth, demonstrating the enduring legacy of the King of Pop in the music industry.
Overall, Cortis’s remarkable achievement on the “Billboard 200” showcases their growing influence and success as a K-pop group. With their second mini-album, “GREENGREEN,” captivating audiences worldwide, the group is poised to continue making waves in the music industry and cementing their status as frontrunners in the global music scene.
