Their joint single, “APT,” has ignited the music scene and is on a record-shattering path. As Rosé continues to expand her impressive career, she has made K-pop history by surpassing PSY’s ‘Gangnam Style’ on YouTube and now breaking Billboard records as well.

Reports indicate that “APT” has achieved a remarkable feat, becoming the first song in 12 years to maintain the No. 1 position on the worldwide iTunes chart for 96 consecutive days. The previous record was held by PSY’s iconic track ‘Gangnam Style.’

ROSÉ has officially broken a 12-year-old record, as “APT” now holds the distinction of being the longest-running No. 1 song by a K-pop artist on the iTunes worldwide songs chart in history, surpassing PSY’s record of 95 days.

Before making waves on Billboard, “APT” became the fastest K-pop track to reach 1 billion views on YouTube, outpacing PSY’s previous record of 12 years. By January 31, 2025, BLACKPINK’s Rosé and Bruno Mars’ “APT” surpassed 1 billion views, achieving this milestone in just 105 days since its release on October 18, 2024. In comparison, PSY’s ‘Gangnam Style’ achieved this feat in 158 days.

With this achievement, “APT” now ranks as the fifth fastest music video to amass 1 billion views on YouTube, following Adele’s ‘Hello,’ Luis Fonsi’s ‘Despacito,’ Ed Sheeran’s ‘Shape of You,’ and J Balvin and Willy William’s ‘Mi Gente.’

In addition, on January 13, the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) announced that “APT” received an official BRIT Gold certification in the UK, marking Rosé’s first solo track to receive such recognition. According to the BPI, singles are certified gold after selling 400,000 units, while albums achieve gold status after 100,000 units sold.

Furthermore, the collaboration has set a new benchmark as the biggest male-female duet debut of 2024, surpassing the record previously held by Taylor Swift and Post Malone’s “Fortnight.”
