ROSE: “APT.” still going strong on the Hot 100

BLACKPINK’s ROSÉ and Bruno Mars’ song “APT.” continues its success on the Billboard Hot 100.

The track “APT.” — a collaboration between ROSÉ of BLACKPINK and global pop star Bruno Mars — is maintaining strong momentum, marking its 32nd consecutive week on the Billboard Hot 100, the main U.S. singles chart.

According to the Billboard chart released on June 4, “APT.” climbed six spots to reach No. 22 on the latest chart (dated June 7).

Thanks to this performance, ROSÉ continues to rank high on the chart since “APT.” peaked at No. 3, setting the record for the highest-ranking song by a female K-pop artist in Hot 100 history. The all-time longevity record on the chart is held by BTS’s Jimin, who charted for a total of 33 (non-consecutive) weeks with his song “Who.”

“APT.” is the pre-release single from ROSÉ’s first full-length solo album “ROSIE”. Inspired by the popular “apartment game” well-known in Korea, the song features ROSÉ’s personal involvement in its production.

On the Billboard 200, the main album chart, BTS member Jin’s second mini-album “ECHO” ranks at No. 122, while ROSÉ’s debut solo album “ROSIE” sits at No. 168.
