BLACKPINK’s Rosé and Bruno Mars released one of the biggest songs in the Kpop scene in 2024. The song became a global phenomenon in a matter of days, and the United Kingdom warmly received the song and the idol on its charts.
The United Kingdom’s Official Singles Chart announced that for the week of May 1 to 7, “APT” held relatively steady on the Official Singles Charts in its 28th consecutive week on the chart, being at the No. 24 spot of the prestigious list.
Ultimately, “APT” is now tied with BTS’ Jimin’s “WHO” as the second-longest-charting song by a K-pop artist on the Official Singles Chart, bested only by PSY’s 2012 hit “Gangnam Style.” The idol now has a long way to go to reach 55 weeks on the chart to become the longest-charting song by a Kpop artist in the region. Congratulations to Rosé!
