CORTIS’s GREENGREEN Returns to Billboard 200 Top 40 at No. 39

CORTIS has returned to the upper tier of the Billboard 200 with its second EP, GREENGREEN. The release climbed 75 positions to No. 39 in its 13th week on the U.S. albums chart, moving sharply upward from No. 114 the previous week.

A major rise three months after release

GREENGREEN originally debuted at No. 3 in May, giving CORTIS an immediate high placement when the project arrived. Its latest move does not exceed that debut peak, but it brings the EP back into the top 40 approximately three months after release—a notable sign of renewed activity during a later stage of its chart run.

The 75-place increase is the clearest feature of this week’s result. Album rankings can change as new releases enter, older titles gain attention, and weekly consumption patterns shift. In this case, the scale of the movement places GREENGREEN much closer to its initial chart position than it had been one week earlier.

The Billboard 200 result also extends the EP’s documented longevity. Reaching a 13th week on the chart means the project has remained part of the competitive U.S. albums market well beyond its launch period. For a K-pop release, that continuing presence can be as important as a high debut because it reflects activity across multiple tracking weeks rather than a single concentrated opening.

Sales and World Albums gains reinforce the week

The EP’s momentum appeared on other Billboard rankings as well. GREENGREEN returned to No. 1 on the World Albums chart, placing it at the top of that category for the week. It also rose to No. 2 on Top Album Sales, making it the second best-selling album in the United States under that chart’s measurement.

Those placements provide additional context for the Billboard 200 jump. The charts do not represent identical measurements: the Billboard 200 ranks overall album performance, while Top Album Sales focuses on sales and World Albums covers releases categorized within that market. Strong positions across all three indicate that the EP’s latest week was not limited to one isolated ranking.

Physical editions and organized fan purchasing can contribute to album-sales movement, while the broader Billboard 200 also accounts for the consumption model used by that chart. The available figures do not identify one specific cause for the 75-place rise, so the safest conclusion is that GREENGREEN experienced a substantial new week of measured U.S. activity.

REDRED continues on global song charts

CORTIS’s title track REDRED also maintained positions on two global rankings. The song placed No. 78 on the Global Excl. U.S. chart and No. 129 on the Global 200, completing its 15th week on both charts.

The two song charts offer a wider view of the track’s reach. Global Excl. U.S. removes American activity from its calculation, while the Global 200 includes markets worldwide. Remaining listed on both for 15 weeks shows that the title track has continued to generate measurable engagement outside the EP’s opening window.

Album and song rankings capture different audience behavior. A listener may stream an individual track without engaging with the full EP, while album buyers and complete-project listeners contribute in other ways. CORTIS appearing on both types of charts suggests that the current cycle retains visibility at the project and single levels.

CORTIS advances on the Artist 100

The group also moved to No. 34 on the Artist 100. This marked CORTIS’s 17th overall week on the chart, which tracks artist activity across several areas rather than highlighting only one album or song.

Taken together, the latest numbers show a broad chart week: GREENGREEN returned to the Billboard 200 top 40 and led World Albums, the EP reached No. 2 in album sales, REDRED continued on two global song charts, and CORTIS rose on the Artist 100.

The most striking result remains the EP’s move from No. 114 to No. 39. Its next ranking will reveal whether the surge develops into a longer renewed run or represents a concentrated week, but the current achievement already adds another significant point to the group’s 2026 chart record.
