BIGHIT’s newest boy group, CORTIS, is making some good news, and people seem to be listening! The quintet’s debut mini-album, titled “COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES,” entered the Billboard 200 at No. 15 last week. And for the chart dated October 4th, 2025, it stayed alive at No. 128. Not bad for a debut!
.@cortis_bighit is undoubtedly this year's top rookie! The boys hit the Billboard 200 for a second week with its debut EP "COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES" at No. 128, also charting at No. 2 on World Albums, No. 9 on Top Current Albums, and No. 10 on Top Album Sales as of Oct. 4.

The mini-album is also sticking on other charts: No. 2 for the second week on Billboard’s World Albums list, No. 9 on the Top Current Album Sales chart, and No. 10 on the Top Album Sales chart. Meanwhile, their single “GO!” is also finding its footing globally, rising to No. 129 on the Global Excl. U.S. chart and No. 175 on the Global 200.
CORTIS themselves remain on Billboard’s Artist 100 for a second week at No. 70, officially proving this debut is more than just recency bias. If you haven’t listened to their mini-album, here’s your chance! These 5 guys didn’t come to play, especially with the rage hip-hop beats, sprinkled with a little bit of pop-rock here and there.
