  • BLACKPINK’s Rosé Breaks Another Huge Record as "APT" Hits 1 Billion Views – You Won't Believe How Fast It Happened

    BLACKPINK’s Rosé has done it again! Her global hit APT. with Bruno Mars has officially surpassed 1 billion views on YouTube, setting a new record.

    On January 31, THEBLACKLABEL announced that Rosé’s APT. music video hit the 1 billion mark just 105 days after its release on October 18 last year. This makes her the fastest K-pop solo artist ever to reach this milestone and the fifth-fastest artist worldwide to do so!

    Released as a pre-release single for her first full-length album rosie on December 6, APT. became an instant sensation. The duet between Rosé and Bruno Mars took over the charts in Korea and internationally, proving her global power.

    The MV broke records from the start, hitting 100 million views in just five days, 300 million views in 22 days, and 500 million views in 47 days. These numbers made Rosé the fastest K-pop soloist in 11 years to achieve such milestones. The video also dominated YouTube’s trending lists in Korea, the U.S., and worldwide.

    Even months after its release, APT. is still going strong. The song recently climbed back up the Billboard Hot 100—which was filled with holiday songs—reaching a new peak at No. 2 on January 28 (local time). It also held onto the No. 2 spot for five consecutive weeks on the UK Official Singles Chart, one of the biggest global charts alongside Billboard.

    Rosé’s album rosie, which features APT., also made history. She personally wrote and composed all its tracks, and the album debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200, making it the highest-charting album by a K-pop female artist ever!

    With record-breaking achievements one after another, fans are calling Rosé unstoppable.
