CORTIS reaches 100 million Spotify streams with 'GO!', first among 2025 rookies

CORTIS, the five-member boy group from Big Hit Music, has achieved its first 100-million-stream milestone on Spotify.

According to an announcement by Big Hit Music on January 4, the group’s debut intro track 'GO!' surpassed 100 million cumulative streams as of January 2. Reaching this mark just four months after its release, it is the fastest track by a K-pop boy group that debuted in 2025 to achieve the feat. CORTIS—comprising members Martin, James, Juhoon, Seonghyeon, and Keonho—is currently the only rookie team from the 2025 debut class to hit 100 million streams with a single track.

The achievement is particularly meaningful as all five members were directly involved in the songwriting, composition, choreography, and music video production for the track.

'GO!' has proven its global appeal beyond Spotify, appearing on the Billboard Global 200 for two consecutive weeks (for the weeks of September 27 and October 4, 2025). Domestically, the song achieved a rare feat for a rookie boy group by simultaneously charting on Melon's daily, weekly, and monthly charts.

International critics have also lauded the track. Billboard ranked 'GO!' at No. 2 on its "The 25 Best K-Pop Songs of 2025: Staff Picks," the highest position for any male artist on the list. Additionally, major outlets such as NME, Dazed, Apple Music, and Spotify included the track in their respective "Best of 2025" selections.

CORTIS is scheduled to attend the 40th Golden Disc Awards at the Taipei Dome on January 10. Following their previous wins at the 2025 MAMA AWARDS and the 10th Anniversary Asia Artist Awards 2025, expectations are high regarding whether they will secure another trophy.
