Rosé has reached an extraordinary milestone by completely sweeping the Korean music charts with her latest single. “APT.” featuring Bruno Mars just gave the BLACKPINK member her 1st solo PAK!
‘APT.’ Gives Rosé 1st Solo PAK Since Debut
The track achieved a perfect all-kill on October 27 at 9:30 a.m. KST, according to Instiz’s iChart. This significant achievement cements “APT.” as a chart-dominating hit across multiple platforms, showcasing Rosé’s impact as a soloist on both national and global levels.
While Rosé has earned all-kills previously as part of BLACKPINK, this marks her first perfect all-kill as a solo artist. Achieving a certified all-kill means the song topped the daily and Top 100 charts on Melon, the daily and realtime charts on Genie and Bugs, YouTube Music’s Top Songs chart, VIBE’s daily chart, and the realtime charts of FLO and iChart.
A perfect all-kill also takes this accomplishment further, indicating that “APT.” also topped iChart’s weekly chart—a rare feat, especially for a solo artist in the highly competitive K-pop industry.
‘APT.’ Taking The World By Storm
“APT.” was released on October 18 at 1 p.m. KST, and its success was instant, with the music video amassing an astounding 100 million views by October 23 at 4:11 p.m. KST. Reaching this milestone in just five days and three hours, it also stands as the fastest music video by any artist in 2024 to achieve 100 million views, highlighting Rosé’s widespread appeal and the song’s powerful reception worldwide.
Inspired by the Korean “apartment game,” a traditional children’s game in Korea, “APT.” brings a blend of nostalgia and cultural depth to the track. This element has resonated strongly with Korean fans while also captivating international audiences by offering a taste of Korean culture through the song’s theme.
“APT.” is the pre-release track from Rosé’s first full album ‘rosie’, which is already set for release on December 6, 2024.
