Rising K pop group CORTIS has reached a major milestone as their debut album “COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES” surpassed 2 million copies in cumulative sales, making them only the second K pop group in history to achieve a double million seller with a debut album.
According to the latest Circle Chart weekly album rankings released on March 5 (tracking period February 22 to 28), the album by members Martin, James, Juhun, Sung Hyun, and Geon Ho officially passed the 2 million sales mark.
Released in September last year, the album has continued to gain steady sales over time. It first surpassed 500,000 copies in September, reached 1 million copies in November, and has now exceeded 2 million copies in March 2026, showing long term popularity.
The album has also remained strong on global charts. On the latest Billboard chart dated March 7, “COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES” has stayed on major album rankings including the World Albums chart for 25 consecutive weeks. The album also climbed nine spots to No. 24 on the Top Album Sales chart, marking two consecutive weeks of rising rankings.
With the album continuing to perform strongly on both sales and global charts, CORTIS is now preparing for a comeback scheduled for April.
