Rosé just hit another major milestone, and this one’s historic. The BLACKPINK superstar’s collab with Bruno Mars, APT, officially became the longest-charting K-pop song ever on the Billboard Hot 100. The track, released on October 18, 2024, has now spent a whopping 34 weeks on the chart. That’s one week longer than BTS’ Jimin, who previously held the title with his song Who, which charted for 33 weeks.

What’s even more jaw-dropping? Rosé pulled this off with a song from her debut solo album rosie. The track’s mix of addictive vocals and irresistible hooks clearly has fans tapping replay, helping her become the first K-pop idol to top Apple Music’s Top 100 Global Chart. That also earned her a Guinness World Record.
The song’s staying power is proof of Rosé’s global influence. While other K-pop tracks have cooled off, APT. is still heating up charts and streaming platforms months later. She even broke into Billboard’s Pop Airplay Chart, the one that tracks how often songs play on US radio, setting another record for the highest-charting K-pop act.
