Since BLACKPINK’s Rosé ventured to the solo side of the Kpop scene, things have never been the same. The idol released her magnum opus, “APT,” along with Bruno Mars in 2024, and it is still breaking records like no other on different streaming platforms, including YouTube.
On May 25, “APT” by Rosé and Bruno Mars surpassed 2.5 billion views at approximately 11 p.m. KST. This record was earned about one year, seven months, and seven days after its release on October 18, 2024, at 1 p.m. KST.
Rosé’s “APT” becomes the fastest music video by an Asian act and the fifth fastest music video overall, following the music videos for Louis Fonsi’s “Despacito,” Ed Sheeran’s “Shape of You,” Maroon 5’s “Girls Like You,” and Justin Bieber’s “Sorry.” The idol is currently representing the Kpop scene with the very best, as the song has never stopped being streamed by the general public.
