BLACKPINK’s Rosé has done it again! Her hit song “APT.”, featuring Bruno Mars, has re-entered the Billboard Hot 100’s Top 10, marking a historic 13th non-consecutive week in the top tier of the chart. This achievement isn’t just another milestone—it’s a groundbreaking moment in K-pop history. “APT.” has officially surpassed the record set by PSY’s iconic “Gangnam Style”, which held the record for 12 weeks in the Top 10 back in 2012.
With 23 weeks on the Hot 100 and still holding strong, this track has proven its global impact, bringing Rosé into the spotlight as a true trendsetter (대세, daese) in the global music industry.
Let’s dive into this daebak (대박) moment and see how Rosé is rewriting history with her incredible success!
🏆 Breaking Records: APT. Dethrones Gangnam Style!
For over a decade, PSY’s “Gangnam Style” (강남스타일) held the title for the most weeks spent in the Billboard Hot 100’s Top 10 by a K-pop soloist. However, Rosé’s “APT.” has officially shattered that record, sitting at No. 10 for an incredible 13 non-consecutive weeks.
To put things into perspective:
🔹 Gangnam Style (2012) – 12 weeks in the Top 10
🔹 APT. (2024) – 13 weeks in the Top 10 (and still counting!)
This isn’t just a win for Rosé—it’s a win for K-pop as a whole (케이팝의 승리, keipab-ui seungri)! It proves that K-pop soloists can not only dominate internationally but also consistently hold their ground against global pop stars.
🌍 Global Domination: No. 1 on Billboard’s Global Excl. U.S. Chart for 19 Weeks!
If you thought Rosé’s reign was limited to the Hot 100, think again! “APT.” has remained at No. 1 on Billboard’s Global Excl. U.S. Chart for an unbelievable 19 weeks—the longest for any song in the history of the chart.
This means that “APT.” isn’t just a K-pop sensation (케이팝 신드롬, keipab sindeulom)—it’s a global anthem (글로벌 히트, geullobeol hiteu). No other song, K-pop or otherwise, has held this position for such a long stretch.
Additionally, “APT.” remains steady at:
💿 No. 2 on Billboard’s Global 200
🎧 No. 10 on the Digital Song Sales Chart
📈 No. 20 on the Streaming Songs Chart
Talk about eomma-mat (엄마맛)—this success hits differently!
📻 U.S. Radio Craze: “APT.” Climbs the Airplay Charts
Not only is “APT.” streaming globally, but it’s also taking over U.S. radio (미국 라디오 접수, miguk radio jeopsu)! The song has climbed to:
🔊 No. 7 on Billboard’s Pop Airplay Chart – Dominating mainstream Top 40 radio stations in the U.S.
📡 No. 9 on the Radio Songs Chart – Holding its place as one of the most-played songs across all genres.
For a K-pop soloist to hold such strong positions on these charts is ul-jjang (얼짱, best of the best)! It signifies that Rosé isn’t just a streaming powerhouse—her music is actively played and loved across U.S. radio stations.
🎶 “rosie” Still Holding Strong on the Billboard 200!
If you think Rosé’s success is just about “APT.”, think again! Her solo album, “rosie”, continues its legendary run on the Billboard 200 chart.
📀 No. 60 on Billboard 200 (16 consecutive weeks)
📊 No. 54 on Billboard’s Artist 100 (24 weeks)
This makes Rosé the longest-charting female K-pop soloist in Billboard history (역사상 최장 기록, yeoksasang choejang girok)!
The longevity of “rosie” proves that Rosé isn’t just riding on the success of a single hit—her entire discography (음반, eumban) is resonating with listeners worldwide.
🎉 What’s Next for Rosé?
With “APT.” still dominating the charts and her solo album breaking records, what’s next for Rosé?
