Rosé’s “APT.” Sets New Record for 26 Consecutive Weeks on Billboard Hot 100

BLACKPINK’s Rosé has established the longest-running streak for a K-pop female artist by having her collaboration with Bruno Mars titled “APT.” appear on the Billboard Hot 100 for 26 consecutive weeks. According to the latest chart released on the 23rd in Eastern Time, “APT.” remained in 13th place. Released in October last year, the song initially reached 8th place upon its debut, declined in rankings afterward, but rebounded to 3rd place earlier this year. Rosé’s solo album “rosie” stayed at 98th on the Billboard 200. Her 26-week streak on the chart surpasses the previous record of 25 weeks held by FIFTY FIFTY’s 2023 hit “Cupid,” demonstrating the strong influence Rosé holds in the global music market through her solo activities. Another BLACKPINK member, Jennie, also made a significant impact with her solo work. After performing at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, California, on April 13th, she brought “like Jennie” into the Hot 100 at 96th place. Jennie’s solo album “Ruby” rose 7 spots on the Billboard 200 to land at 81st. Additionally, Rosé became the only K-pop artist this year to receive a nomination in a category outside the K-pop section at the American Music Awards. Nominated for Collaboration of the Year alongside global stars such as Kendrick Lamar and SZA, Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga, Masego and Kane Brown, Post Malone and Morgan Wallen, and Taylor Swift and Post Malone, Rosé will compete in this category. The awards ceremony is scheduled to take place on May 26th in Las Vegas.
