BLACKPINK’s Rosé and global pop star Bruno Mars have collaborated on the track ‘Apartment (APT.)’, which has claimed the No. 1 spot on the Billboard ‘Global 200’ chart, receiving a hot response.
On the 12th, Billboard announced on its official social media that ‘Apartment’ had risen to the top, surpassing Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ ‘Die With A Smile’ and Billie Eilish’s ‘Birds Of A Feather’. The song, released as a pre-release single on the 18th of last month, was unveiled ahead of Rosé’s official comeback.
Upon release, ‘Apartment’ debuted at No. 1 not only on the ‘Global 200’ but also on the ‘Global’ (excluding the U.S.) chart, maintaining the top position for three consecutive weeks and entering the main singles chart, ‘Hot 100’, at eighth place. This marks the highest record for a K-pop female artist and is the first instance of debuting within the top ten.
Rosé has also set several remarkable records, becoming the first Korean female solo artist to achieve No. 1 on both the U.S. Spotify chart and the Global Spotify Top Songs chart. The track amassed 100 million streams on Spotify within just seven days of its release.
The unique collaboration between Rosé and Bruno Mars is offering new allure to music fans, and attention is focused on what records they will achieve in the future. Rosé’s official comeback is scheduled for December 6th, heightening expectations for her upcoming activities.
