Rookie groups usually spend years building toward million-seller status. CORTIS just did it twice — in the same debut year.

CORTIS’s sophomore EP **“GREENGREEN”** has officially sold over **4.1 million copies**, making it only the second album released in 2026 to cross that milestone, and cementing the group’s explosive rise just one year into their career.

### GREENGREEN: Overview

| Detail | Information |
| --- | --- |
| Album | GREENGREEN (2nd EP) |
| Total Sales | ~4.1 million copies |
| Sales Data Source | Circle Chart, as of September 17 |
| Milestone | 2nd album of 2026 to surpass 4 million sales |
| Previous Album to Hit This Mark | BTS’s “ARIRANG” |
| Debut EP Comparison | Nearly double the sales of “COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES” |

### A Rookie Group Growing at an Unusual Pace

What makes this achievement particularly striking isn’t just the raw sales number — it’s the growth trajectory behind it. “GREENGREEN” has sold nearly **double** the cumulative total of CORTIS’s debut EP, “COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES,” in a significantly shorter window of time. For a group barely a year into their career, that kind of acceleration signals a rapidly expanding fanbase rather than a one-off comeback spike.

### Joining an Extremely Exclusive Club

Crossing 4 million copies sold puts CORTIS in genuinely rarefied company. The only other album to hit this benchmark in 2026 so far is **BTS’s “ARIRANG”** — meaning CORTIS, a group still in its debut year, is now standing alongside one of K-pop’s most globally dominant acts in terms of pure sales numbers. That comparison alone underscores just how quickly the group has established itself within the industry’s upper tier.

### Why This Milestone Matters

Album sales at this scale reflect more than just chart performance — they’re a direct indicator of a fanbase’s purchasing commitment, often tied to physical album formats, photocards, and repeat purchases that are deeply embedded in [K-pop](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-pop) fan culture. For a rookie group to reach million-seller status this quickly suggests HYBE’s newest act has successfully converted early buzz into sustained, large-scale commercial support — a critical marker of long-term staying power in an industry where many debuts fail to build this kind of momentum.
