BLACKPINK's Rosé continues her streak at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart for a third consecutive week with her collaboration single "APT." (Apartment) featuring pop star Bruno Mars.
According to the latest chart released on the 20th (local time), "APT." ranks at No. 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart dated November 23, 2024, marking its fourth week in the upper ranks.
Additionally, "APT." holds the No. 1 spot on both the Billboard Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts for the same period.
Previously, "APT." debuted at No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart dated November 2, 2024. It also claimed the No. 2 spot on Billboard’s Most-Streamed Songs chart for that week and secured the top position on both the Billboard Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts.
Since then, the track has demonstrated remarkable longevity: ranking No. 13 in its second week, No. 15 in its third week, and climbing back to No. 13 in its fourth week.
Released worldwide on November 18, "APT." draws inspiration from the Korean drinking game "Apartment Game." The song features a lively teen rock sound that blends seamlessly with the dynamic vocal chemistry between Rosé and Bruno Mars.
It has sparked various challenges across platforms like Instagram and TikTok. The creative fusion of the playful drinking game with K-pop elements, combined with the collaboration with global pop icon Bruno Mars, has led to outstanding chart performances, according to analysts.
"APT." has already made significant achievements, debuting at No. 1 on Spotify’s U.S. chart and surpassing 100 million streams in record time. Its official music video also crossed 100 million views just five days after release.
Additionally, the song topped iTunes charts in 40 regions and reached No. 4 on the UK Official Chart, continuing its record-breaking streak even before its Billboard Hot 100 debut.
