K-pop icon BLACKPINK Rosé and international superstar Bruno Mars have taken the music world by storm with their electrifying collaboration, “APT.” While the track has faced challenges on the Billboard Hot 100, where it missed securing a spot in the top 10 for the second consecutive week, its global impact remains undeniable.
According to a preview article released by Billboard on November 5, “APT.” didn’t manage to break into the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 this week. The song had initially made a notable debut at No. 8, marking the highest entry for a female K-pop artist to date. This achievement placed Rosé alongside K-pop legends like PSY, BTS, Jimin, and Jungkook, who have previously penetrated the Hot 100’s top 10.
However, as streaming figures on platforms like Spotify began to dwindle, the song struggled to maintain its upward momentum on the chart. Despite this, Rosé and Bruno Mars’s “APT.” has dominated the Billboard Global charts, clinching the No. 1 spot for two consecutive weeks on both the Billboard Global (excluding the U.S.) and the Billboard Global 200 charts.
“APT.” serves as the pre-release single for Rosé’s highly anticipated first full-length album, “Rosie,” set to drop on December 6. Inspired by the popular “Apartment Game” widely known in Korea, Rosé took an active role in the song’s production, showcasing her artistic versatility and innovation.
The dynamic collaboration between Rosé and Bruno Mars is a testament to the growing influence of K-pop on the global stage, promising more exciting developments in the weeks leading up to her album release. Fans worldwide eagerly anticipate what Rosé will unveil next, as she continues to break boundaries and redefine the music scene. Stay tuned for further updates as this thrilling musical journey unfolds.
