BLACKPINK
‘s Rosé has hit yet another major milestone with her hit single, ‘APT.’ featuring Bruno Mars.
* READ MORE: Rosé and Bruno Mars’ ‘APT.’ is an addictively flirty and fun intro to the BLACKPINK
star’s solo era
Last October, Rosé took the world by storm when she released ‘APT.’ with Bruno Mars. Very quickly, the song took over charts
across the globe and social media.
Now, the K-pop star and BLACKPINK
member has hit yet another landmark achievement, as it has now hit over 2billion views on
YouTube in 10 months. It marks the first of her solo material to do so.
Watch the ever-energetic music video for ‘APT.’ below.
The achievement comes just days after she became the first-ever Korean act to win Song of the Year at the MTV Video Music Awards
(VMAs). ‘APT.’ broke numerous records and topped charts following its release in October – also becoming the fastest K-pop song to
surpass one billion streams on Spotify.
‘APT.’ was named one of NME’s best 50 songs of 2024 and clinched the second spot on NME’s list of the best 25 K-pop songs of the
year. Sara Delgado wrote of the track when it was awarded the second spot: “With pink-tinged flirty iconography, a genius
interpolation of Toni Basil’s ‘Mickey’ and an infectiously funky chanted chorus, ‘APT.’ will go down in history as the perfect
case study on how to launch a solo career. The cherry on top of a great package? The assist (vocally, but also creatively) from
the ever-charismatic Bruno Mars.”
The song also scored a glowing five-star review, with NME’s Rhian Daly writing: “Truthfully, Rosé has never sounded as good as she
does here. There’s a power and confidence in her voice that far surpasses her past performances, and the vintage pop-rock riffs
and attitude – which echo with elements of Toni Basil, Blondie and Joan Jett – feel sublimely suited to her as an artist.
Addictive, flirty and a whole lot of fun, ‘APT.’ is the perfect introduction to Rosé’s new chapter.”
