The singer ROSÉ has proven the power of her global mega hit “Apt.”.
THE BLACK LABEL announced that the duo song by ROSÉ and BRUNO MARS, “Apt.”, was selected as Song of the Year by Apple Music, and that it also ranked 1st and 9th respectively on the Billboard 2025 “GLOBAL 200” and “HOT 100” charts. In addition, the global content platform TikTok revealed that the track reached No. 1 in the domestic music category and No. 6 in the global music category of the “2025 Year in Music” chart.
The pre-release single “Apt.” from ROSÉ’s first studio album “ROSIE”, released last October, sparked a true global phenomenon. The song remained on Billboard’s “HOT 100” for 45 consecutive weeks, setting a new longevity record for K-pop, while its music video surpassed 2.2 billion cumulative views on YouTube. After defining the year 2024, “Apt.” continues its record-breaking streak in 2025 with undiminished popularity.
The performance of “Apt.” also stood out on year-end charts. The song reached No. 1 on the Billboard 2025 “GLOBAL 200” and No. 9 on the “HOT 100”. After being named Song of the Year by Apple Music, it also ranked among the most-used songs on TikTok, once again confirming its immense global success.
Thanks to “Apt.”, ROSÉ became the first Kpop artist to win the Song of the Year grand prize at the “2025 MTV Video Music Awards”, one of the four major American music award ceremonies. She also set another record by being nominated at the “Grammy Awards” in the categories Song of the Year, Record of the Year, and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, becoming the first Kpop artist to be nominated in two major categories.
Meanwhile, ROSÉ continues her active activities, including the global tour of BLACKPINK’s solo concert titled “DEADLINE”.
