CORTIS charts in Asia

CORTIS’s new single “REDRED” is posting early chart strength across Asia a day after release, with iTunes No. 1s in Indonesia and Thailand. (chosun.com) South Korea’s Chosun, citing agency data from Big Hit Music on April 21, said the track also topped iTunes in Vietnam and the Philippines and reached the Worldwide iTunes Song Chart at No. 48 within hours of release. (chosun.com) Independent chart tracker Kworb showed “REDRED” at No. 1 on iTunes in Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam, plus No. 2 in Malaysia and the Philippines and No. 9 in Taiwan as of April 21. (kworb.net) The same Chosun report said “REDRED” entered YouTube Trending Music in 23 countries and regions, including No. 4 in Indonesia, No. 9 in Thailand, and No. 1 in Taiwan. (chosun.com) Those early rankings arrived just before CORTIS’s second extended play, “GREENGREEN,” which Apple Music lists as a six-track pre-release due May 4, 2026. (music.apple.com) At a Seoul showcase on April 20, Korea JoongAng Daily reported that “REDRED” was released at 6 p.m. local time as the lead track for “GREENGREEN,” and that the album had already passed 2 million physical preorders, according to Big Hit Music. (koreajoongangdaily.joins.com) Korea JoongAng Daily also said CORTIS debuted in August 2025 as Big Hit Music’s first new boy band in six years after Tomorrow X Together, and that its debut EP had sold 2.07 million copies as of April. (koreajoongangdaily.joins.com) On streaming, Spotify listed CORTIS at 7.2 million monthly listeners and showed “REDRED” as a 2026 release, giving the group a larger base to convert short-run download spikes into repeat plays. (open.spotify.com, open.spotify.com) The immediate test is whether those Asia chart entries hold through the week and carry into the May 4 EP launch, when download charts, YouTube momentum, and streaming totals start to line up.
