CORTIS Apple Music Record: ‘REDRED’ Rules South Korea Chart for 90 Days straight

Rookie sensation CORTIS is proving that they aren’t just taking over the music scene—they are virtually rewriting history books. The Big Hit Music boy group has officially achieved a stunning CORTIS Apple Music record, ruling the “Today’s Top 100: South Korea” chart at No. 1 for 90 consecutive days with their hit single “REDRED.”

Since first seizing the crown on April 26, the title track from their second mini-album hasn’t relinquished the top spot even for a single day.

Chasing BTS: Second Longest Reign in K-Pop History

Dominating a public streaming chart for three full months is a rare feat for any act, let alone a group that debuted less than a year ago.

This accomplishment marks the longest No. 1 streak for any domestic track released in 2026 and ranks as the second-longest reign in Apple Music Korea history—right behind BTS’s legendary 2020 anthem “Dynamite,” which logged 112 weeks at the top.

The group’s unstoppable momentum is echoed across global streaming platforms:

• Spotify: Claimed No. 1 on “Daily Top Songs South Korea” 80 times and spent 12 consecutive weeks atop “Weekly Top Songs South Korea.”

• Global Reach: Maintained a spot on Spotify’s “Weekly Top Songs Global” for 12 straight weeks—the longest streak for any K-pop boy group debuting in the last five years.

• YouTube Music: Held the No. 1 position on Korea’s “Weekly Popular Songs” chart for five consecutive weeks.

From Chicago to North America: CORTIS Goes Global

Having completely conquered domestic charts, CORTIS is taking their viral “Young Creator Crew” energy to international stages.

The group is set to perform at the prestigious Lollapalooza Chicago music festival on July 31 and August 1, standing as the only K-pop boy group on the lineup this year. Immediately following their festival debut, CORTIS will kick off their first-ever headline tour, 2026 CORTIS TOUR IN NORTH AMERICA, spanning six major cities including Toronto, New York, and San Francisco.

Celebrating One Year of Stardom in Seoul

Following their North American leg, CORTIS will return home to celebrate their milestone first anniversary with fans at Seoul’s Hwajeong Gymnasium on August 22 and 23.

With another CORTIS Apple Music record under their belt and an ambitious world tour underway, this rookie powerhouse is making one thing crystal clear: the age of CORTIS has officially arrived.
