CORTIS's 'GO!' hits 200 million Spotify streams, a first for the group

The rookie K-pop group CORTIS has achieved a significant milestone, with their track 'GO!' surpassing 200 million streams on the global audio streaming platform Spotify. This marks the first time a single song by the group has reached such a high streaming number, achieved approximately nine months after its official release on September 8 last year.

'GO!' initially crossed the 100 million stream mark on January 2, just 116 days after its release. The subsequent 100 million streams were added in just over five months, highlighting the song's sustained popularity. This achievement makes 'GO!' the most-streamed single track by CORTIS to date and is a unique record among boy groups that debuted within the last five years.

The song's global appeal has been further validated by its inclusion in 'Best K-Pop Songs of 2025' lists from prominent publications like the UK's NME and Dazed, as well as Apple Music and Spotify. American music magazine Billboard ranked 'GO!' second in its 'The 25 Best K-Pop Songs of 2025: Staff Picks.' The track also demonstrated its mainstream reach by charting on Billboard's 'Pop Airplay' chart for 14 weeks, a rare feat for a K-pop debut group less than a year old.

Buoyed by the success of 'GO!', CORTIS's mini-album 'COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES' has surpassed 600 million streams on Spotify. Another track from the album, 'FaSHioN,' is also nearing the 200 million stream mark with approximately 183.5 million plays. The group's second mini-album, 'GREEN GREEN,' featuring the title track 'REDRED,' is also performing strongly, maintaining a position on the Spotify 'Weekly Top Song Global' chart for nine consecutive weeks and holding the number one spot on South Korea's 'Weekly Top Song' chart for eight weeks. 'REDRED' also set a record for the fastest 100 million streams among songs by K-pop boy groups debuting in the last five years, reaching the milestone in just 57 days.
