SEOUL, September 24 (AJP) - K-pop boy band CORTIS's debut album has made it onto the U.S. Billboard 200 albums chart for this week.

According to Billboard's latest chart released Tuesday, the quintet's "Color Outside The Lines" ranked 15th, just a few weeks after its release earlier this month, an impressive feat for a rookie K-pop act.

The album contains five tracks including "What You Want," a song about pursuing dreams with confidence.

CORTIS also ranked 24th on the American music chart's "Artist 100," which evaluate the "most popular artists across all genres" based on weekly album and track sales.

The five-member group debuted with the album on Sept. 8, becoming the first new boy band in about six years from K-pop behemoth Big Hit Music, after Tomorrow X Together (TXT) in 2019.
