BLACKPINK’s Rose and Bruno Mars’ Song “APT” Takes the World by Storm

The new collaboration between K-pop band BLACKPINK’s Rosé and American pop star Bruno Mars, titled “APT,” has become a global sensation. Since its release a month ago, the song has dominated all major streaming platforms, gaining widespread attention worldwide.

From the very beginning, “APT” has topped YouTube’s “Global Trending” chart and continues to trend in Nepal’s music section as well. The song has also remained on the Billboard Hot 200, holding the 200th spot for four consecutive weeks, marking its global success.

Released on October 18, “APT” has captivated fans worldwide, with Rosé and Bruno Mars now gearing up for a performance this Friday at the Kyocera Dome in Osaka, Japan, in celebration of the song’s success.

Rosé, who began her solo career earlier this year, has already achieved remarkable success. She made history as the first K-pop female artist to surpass 100 million streams on Spotify. Her highly anticipated studio album, Rosié, is set to be released on December 6.

Bruno Mars, a Grammy-winning American pop icon, is well-known to Korean audiences for his chart-topping hits like “Just the Way You Are,” “Marry You,” and “Uptown Funk.” Last year, his concert in Seoul saw over 100,000 tickets sold, cementing his popularity in the region.

In Nepal, both Rosé and Bruno Mars have built a massive following, especially among Gen-Z listeners. This is further confirmed by the song’s consistent presence at the top of the trending charts in Nepal for over two weeks. The song’s success has been attributed to its captivating production, wide appeal, and cultural relevance. With over 390 million views on YouTube, “APT” is proving to be a worldwide hit.
