Rosé, the global sensation from Blackpink, continues to dominate the music world with her record-breaking duet “Apt.” alongside Bruno Mars.
The track has now ruled the Billboard Global Excl. US chart for nine consecutive weeks, tying with some of the most iconic songs in recent history.
This milestone places “Apt.” alongside hits like “Drivers License” by Olivia Rodrigo, “Stay” by The Kid Laroi and Justin Bieber, and “Seven” by Jung Kook and Latto, all of which also held the top spot for nine weeks.
The achievement cements Rosé’s place in history as one of the longest-leading K-pop stars on the global stage.
A Record-Breaking Collaboration
“Apt.” has proven to be more than just a collaboration; it’s a cultural phenomenon.
Since debuting at No. 1, the track has maintained its position against fierce competition, including holiday classics like Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You.”
This makes “Apt.” not only Rosé’s biggest solo hit but also a testament to her global appeal beyond her work with Blackpink.
What’s Next for “Apt.”?
While “Apt.” ties with other legendary tracks, it still has the potential to surpass them.
To beat the all-time leaders—“As It Was” by Harry Styles, “Flowers” by Miley Cyrus, and Mariah Carey’s holiday anthem—it would need to hold the top spot for 13 weeks.
Whether or not it achieves this feat, “Apt.” has already made history, sharing the title of the longest-leading single by a K-pop artist with Jung Kook’s “Seven.”
Rosé’s Global Impact
Rosé, originally from New Zealand, has risen to fame as part of Blackpink, one of the most influential K-pop groups of all time.
Her solo success with “Apt.” showcases her versatility and ability to connect with audiences worldwide.
As fans continue to stream and support the track, Rosé’s impact on the music industry remains undeniable.
Whether she surpasses current records or not, her place in global music history is already secured.
