BLACKPINK’s Rosé and Bruno Mars’ “APT.” has hit the 2 billion mark on YouTube at record speed!
On September 18 at approximately 6:43 a.m. KST, Rosé and Bruno Mars’ music video for their smash hit “APT.” surpassed 2 billion views on YouTube. The song was originally released on October 18, 2024 at 1 p.m. KST, meaning that it took the video just over 334 days to reach the milestone.
Not only has “APT.” set a new record for the fastest music video by an Asian artist to surpass 2 billion views, but it is also the fastest music video led by a female artist to achieve the feat—and the fourth fastest music video ever to hit the 2 billion mark.
Before “APT.”, only three other music videos had ever managed to reach 2 billion views on YouTube in less than a year: Luis Fonsi’s “Despacito” featuring Daddy Yankee, Ed Sheeran’s “Shape of You,” and Maroon 5’s “Girls Like You” featuring Cardi B.
Congratulations to Rosé and Bruno Mars on their exciting achievement!
