BLACKPINK’s Rosé has once again made it to the top ranks of the UK Official Chart with her song ‘Apartment,’ which features global pop star Bruno Mars. According to the UK Official Singles Chart Top 100 released on the 8th, ‘Apartment’ secured the 3rd position, showcasing its ongoing popularity. Although it dropped one spot from the previous week’s 2nd place, it still maintains a strong presence in the top tier, proving its influence.
The UK Official Chart is renowned worldwide alongside the US Billboard Chart, and Rosé’s ‘Apartment’ first entered the chart at 4th place on October 25th. On the November 1st chart, it climbed to 2nd place, setting a record as the highest-ranking K-pop female artist. While it did not surpass PSY’s 1st place with ‘Gangnam Style’ in 2012, it matched the rank of BTS’s ‘Butter,’ which also reached 3rd place.
‘Apartment,’ released on October 28th, debuted at 8th place on the US Billboard Main Singles Chart ‘Hot 100,’ marking the first single-digit debut by a K-pop female artist. This song, which is a pre-release track from Rosé’s upcoming full-length album ‘Logy’ set to release on December 6th, was inspired by the widely known ‘Apartment Game’ in Korea and was created through collaboration with Bruno Mars.
Rosé’s remarkable achievement highlights the global influence of K-pop once again, and there is much anticipation for her future activities. Fans are eagerly looking forward to seeing what other charms she will showcase in ‘Logy,’ set to be released in December.
