The management company BIGHIT MUSIC said that, according to data from distributors YG Plus and Universal Records, the album "Greengreen" has reached a total of 2,020,224 units. This is a figure reflecting the number of albums produced before release, based on estimated demand from the market.
This achievement helps Cortis get closer to the "double-million seller" title even before the album officially debuts. Notably, the group still has about three weeks before the official release date on May 4, meaning the number of pre-orders may continue to increase.
Previously, Cortis attracted attention when he set a record for the best-selling debut album in K-pop history with his debut mini album "Color Outside the Lines". According to data from Circle Chart, this product reached sales of over 2.06 million copies as of April 4, becoming one of the few debut albums to surpass the 2 million copies mark.
With the current growth momentum, "Greengreen" is expected to continue to extend the group's achievements, while consolidating Cortis' position in the new generation of K-pop idols. The great interest from global fans also shows the group's strong development potential in the coming time.
According to the plan, Cortis will pre-release the title track "Redred" on April 20 (Korean time) as a warm-up step for the first comeback. This is considered a familiar promotional strategy, aimed at creating a media effect before the album officially goes on shelves.
In the context of the increasingly competitive K-pop market, the fact that a rookie group reached more than 2 million pre-orders shows significant influence, and also reflects the trend of physical album consumption still maintaining its appeal in the fan community.
