BLACKPINK’s Rosé continues to make Billboard history with her smash hit “APT.”!
Last week, Rosé set a new record for the highest ranking ever achieved by a female K-pop artist—even including groups—on Billboard’s Hot 100, which ranks the most popular songs in the United States. “APT.”, her collab single with Bruno Mars, debuted at No. 8 on the chart—making her the first female K-pop act ever to break into the top 10.
On November 5 local time, Billboard revealed that “APT.” had stayed strong at No. 13 in its second consecutive week on the Hot 100.
With this achievement, Rosé has become the first female K-pop artist ever to spend more than one week in the top 15 of the chart.
Meanwhile, “APT.” topped both of Billboard’s global charts for the second week in a row, remaining No. 1 on both the Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. chart. The single also ranked No. 6 on the Digital Song Sales chart—meaning it was the sixth best-selling song of the week in the United States—and No. 9 on the Streaming Songs chart.
Finally, Rosé ranked No. 79 on Billboard’s Artist 100, marking her third overall week on the chart as a soloist.
Congratulations to Rosé!
