SEOUL, May 18 (Yonhap) -- K-pop rookie group Cortis has debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 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 said Sunday (local time) 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 with the album. It previously entered the chart one time with "Color Outside the Lines," which peaked at No. 15 last year.
The Billboard 200 ranks the most popular albums of the week in the United States, measured by equivalent album units comprising physical and digital sales, as well as streaming and digital track downloads converted into album sales.
In a press release, BigHit Music, the group's agency, said Cortis became the fastest K-pop group, excluding project acts, to reach the chart's top three, achieving the milestone nine months after debut. It added that the group is the only boy band formed in the past five years to have reached the Billboard 200 top three.
