K-pop rookie group Cortis has entered the Billboard 200 at No. 3 with its latest album, "GreenGreen," marking the highest chart position of its career.
The act's second EP earned 87,000 album-equivalent units in the latest tracking week, including 81,500 in album sales. Billboard reported the figures in a chart preview for this week.
The five-member group also secured its first top-10 entry on the main U.S. albums chart. Its debut EP, "Color Outside the Lines," had peaked at No. 15 last year.
In a press release, BigHit Music said Cortis became the fastest K-pop group, excluding project acts, to reach the chart's top three. The milestone came nine months after debut. The group is also the only boy band formed in the past five years to achieve this ranking.
BTS' album "Arirang" remained in the top 10 for the eighth consecutive week, dropping one spot to No. 8.
