Seoul, South Korea – BLACKPINK's Rosé continues to make history. Her collaborative single with Bruno Mars, "APT.," has skyrocketed to the number 5 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, marking the highest-ever ranking for a female K-pop artist.
Released in October of last year, "APT." initially debuted at number 8 on the chart, already setting a new record for female K-pop soloists. However, the song faced stiff competition from holiday tunes and other popular releases, causing a slight dip in its ranking.
In a remarkable comeback, "APT." has now climbed an impressive 29 spots to reach the top 5. This achievement surpasses Rosé's previous record and the previous record held by BLACKPINK and Selena Gomez's "Ice Cream," which peaked at number 13.
The song's success can be attributed to its catchy chorus, inspired by the popular Korean drinking game "apartment game." With over 144.8 million streams worldwide in the past week, "APT." has captivated audiences globally.
"APT." serves as the pre-release single from Rosé's debut solo album, "rosie." The song's fusion of pop and R&B, coupled with the artists' undeniable star power, has solidified its place in the international music scene.
With this latest achievement, Rosé has solidified her status as one of the most influential female artists in K-pop. Her ability to consistently break records and connect with fans worldwide is a testament to her talent and global appeal.
