Rosé and Bruno Mars’ ‘APT.’ Dominates Charts, Breaking Records & Making History

Rosé of BLACKPINK and Bruno Mars are making waves in the music world with their hit song "APT." The collaboration has not only captivated listeners but has also achieved remarkable milestones on prestigious charts, solidifying its place as a significant K-pop crossover success.

"APT." is currently enjoying a stellar run on the UK's Official Singles Chart. For the week of May 8 to 14, the song maintained its strong presence, landing at No. 25 in its 29th consecutive week. This achievement is particularly noteworthy as it surpasses BTS's Jimin's "Who" to become the second longest-charting song by a K-pop artist on the chart. Only PSY's global phenomenon "Gangnam Style" has enjoyed a longer run (55 weeks) in 2012.

In the United States, "APT." is making history on Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart. The song climbed to No. 16, tying BTS's "Dynamite" and "My Universe" (with Coldplay) for the highest peak ever achieved by a K-pop act on this chart. This marks another significant achievement for Rosé, showcasing her growing influence in the American music landscape.

"APT." is also demonstrating incredible staying power across multiple Billboard charts, appearing on eight different rankings. Despite slight dips on Radio Songs and Adult Pop Airplay, it remains a force to be reckoned with, holding steady at No. 14 on the Pop Airplay list. Its lowest position in the US is No. 25 on the Streaming Songs chart, highlighting its broad appeal and consistent listenership.

Adding to its already impressive list of accomplishments, the music video for "APT." has reigned supreme on the Global YouTube Music Videos chart for 29 consecutive weeks. Garnering millions of views weekly, the clip continues to captivate audiences worldwide. The song itself remains a top contender on the platform, consistently ranking among the most-watched tracks.
