Rosé and Bruno Mars’ Hit ‘APT.’ Ties K-Pop Record with 26 Weeks on Billboard Hot 100

Rosé, a global K-pop sensation and member of BLACKPINK, continues to make waves with her chart-topping duet ‘APT.’ featuring Bruno Mars. According to The Black Label, on June 21 (local time), the song has maintained its position at No. 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for the second consecutive week.

This achievement marks 26 straight weeks on the chart, setting a new all-time record for any K-pop female solo artist. Originally released on December 6, 2023, as a pre-release single from her first full-length solo album ‘rosie’, ‘APT.’ instantly captivated a global audience, triggering a pop culture phenomenon.

The chart-staying power of ‘APT.’ is extraordinary not only because it defied the post-holiday drop-offs but also for its surprising upward movement even during the holiday-dominated music cycle. Rosé’s collaboration with Bruno Mars has been praised for merging K-pop and Western pop seamlessly, dominating both domestic and international music charts alike.

The accompanying album ‘rosie’ proved equally impactful. With Rosé taking part in writing and composing each track, the album debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200, breaking the record for the highest charting K-pop female solo act in Billboard history.

Capitalizing on this momentum, Rosé was also named one of the ‘100 Most Influential People in the World for 2025’ by TIME magazine, cementing her status not just as a music icon, but also as a cultural leader of the new generation.

Looking ahead, Rosé is slated to continue her vigorous musical journey throughout 2025, with fans and industry insiders anticipating more groundbreaking releases from the global icon.
