Cortis hits 1.5b on Spotify

Cortis has surpassed 1.5 billion cumulative streams on Spotify, just 15 months after its debut, Big Hit Music announced Thursday.

The group generated the most plays on the platform for a K-pop boy group that debuted in the last year, and did so with 16 tracks: 15 from the two mini albums and “Mention Me,” a soundtrack for the Stephen Curry animated film, “GOAT.”

“Redred,” the lead single from the second EP, “Greengreen,” logged the most streams at over 276 million. The six-track mini album rolled out in May and has sold more than 4.4 million copies as of October, according to a local data monger. The quintet added two tracks and released an extended version of the EP to celebrate its first debut anniversary in August.
