Rosé from BLACKPINK has achieved a new milestone in her solo career with the collaborative single "APT." featuring pop star Bruno Mars, making a significant impact on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. On October 29 (KST), Billboard's chart preview report revealed that "APT." is expected to rank 8th on the Billboard Hot 100 for the chart dated November 2, 2024. The song also ranked 2nd on the Billboard Streaming Songs chart and took the top spot on both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global (excluding U.S.) charts.


This marks a long-awaited entry into the Hot 100 top 10 for a K-pop artist, with Rosé becoming the 5th K-pop artist overall, following Psy, BTS, Jimin, and Jungkook, and the first female K-pop artist to reach the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.


As "APT." serves as a pre-release track for Rosé's first solo studio album, which will be released on December 6, anticipation is growing for her future activities and continued success.
