Now that “APT.” has reached a significant milestone, it’s time to celebrate! Over one billion people have viewed the music video for the main song from Rosé’s first solo album, Rosie, featuring Bruno Mars. The video for the viral song accomplished this in just 105 days following its October 18, 2024, premiere.
It’s time to celebrate with Bruno Mars and ROSÉ’s “APT.” This Monday, YouTube reported that the energetic song had officially surpassed one billion views on the platform.
“APT” is the first Western artist to dominate the Billboard Japan Hot 100 song chart in almost 11 years, according to Billboard. In its 12th week, the upbeat song is also dominating the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts. Additionally, it is presently at third on the Billboard Hot 100 Songs chart for all genres. “APT.” is also causing a stir on the Official Vinyl Singles chart, where it is currently ranked No. 3, a notable improvement from its previous position of No. 6. For both Rosé and Mars, the No. 3 position on the chart represents a career high.
Although Mars had previously appeared on the Official Vinyl Singles chart, this is the only song by the BLɅϽKPIИK star to do so.
On October 1, 2024, Rosé made the album’s initial announcement on Instagram. The singer stated that this was her first full-length album and referred to it as her small journal. Additionally, she explained the meaning behind the album’s title as follows:
“I have poured my blood and tears into this album,” ROSÉ wrote on Instagram when she first announced Rosie, her first full-length project outside of BLACKPINK, back in October. “I cannot wait for you to listen to this little journal of mine. Rosie – is the name I allow my friends and family to call me. With this album, I hope you all feel that much closer to me.”
Recently, Bruno Mars became the first artist to reach 150 million Spotify listeners each month.
For Mars, 2025 is turning out to be a fantastic year! On January 27, 2025, the singer of “Just the Way You Are” reached 150 million Spotify subscribers each month. The singer is having success with his chart-topping singles, but he hasn’t put out a solo album since his 2016 record 24K Magic.
Mars recently won the Grammy for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for his tune “Die with a Smile,” which featured Lady Gaga. Since its August 2024 debut, the song has received over 1.7 billion Spotify plays.
The hit song topped the Billboard Hot 100 for 24 weeks after it was released, making it the singer’s ninth number-one single. It is presently ranked number two. His most recent single, “Fat Juicy & Wet,” an R-rated song featuring Sexyy Red that also features Lady Gaga and Rosé in the music video, is comfortably positioned at No. 17 just over a week after it was released.
All of the major platforms offer streaming access to Rosé’s debut album, Rosie. The album is also accessible on Spotify.
