BLACKPINK’s Rosé and Bruno Mars are making waves with their new duet APT.

Released on October 18, Rosé's latest single, APT. (Rosé & Bruno Mars), has taken the music world by storm. This song, which is a pre-release single for her upcoming full-length album rosie set to drop on December 6, is already breaking records.

APT. quickly achieved a "Perfect All-Kill" (PAK) on Korean music charts, dominating the real-time, daily, and Top 100 charts on platforms like Melon, Genie, Bugs, and Vibe. But that’s not all—it also topped the Spotify Global and U.S. charts, along with iTunes charts in 40 regions. Rosé even made history as the first Korean female solo artist to reach No. 1 on the U.S. Spotify chart.

The music video for APT., featuring playful and fun visuals of Rosé and Bruno Mars, is also a massive hit. It hit No. 1 on YouTube’s trending videos and trending music lists in both Korea and the U.S. In just four days, the video racked up 82 million views, quickly approaching 100 million.

Rosé shared that APT. was inspired by a popular Korean game called the "Apartment Game." She explained, “The Apartment Game is something I really love. It’s simple, fun, and great for lifting the mood. One night in the studio, I showed it to the staff, and we all had a blast. That’s when I decided to turn it into a song. Later, Bruno Mars joined in, and the song came to life.”

Rosé’s first full-length album, rosie, will feature 12 tracks, including APT., and Rosé has been involved in writing and composing all the songs. This album is expected to give fans a more personal look into her life and stories.

As BLACKPINK’s main vocalist, Rosé has already made her mark with several records. In 2021, her solo single On The Ground from the album R debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200 chart, setting a new record for a female K-pop solo artist on the Billboard Hot 100.

In June, Rosé signed with The Black Label and Atlantic Records, further expanding her global activities. With her influence in music, beauty, and fashion, fans around the world are eagerly following her journey.
