Will Rosé Beat Lady Gaga And Make History?
Rosé's "Apt" holds steady at No. 2 on Billboard's Adult Pop Airplay chart, with a real chance to ... More soon make history as the first K-pop act to top the ranking.

Rosé has been setting Billboard records left and right throughout the past several months, and it doesn't look like she's finished just yet. The Blackpink singer's collaboration with Bruno Mars, "Apt.," first became a massive streaming and sales win upon its release — and even months after it debuted, the smash is still performing exceptionally well on the airwaves in America. "Apt." stands a real chance at helping Rosé make even more history, if it can rise just one more spot.
This week, "Apt." holds at No. 2 on the Adult Pop Airplay chart. That tally, for those unfamiliar, tracks the biggest hits across U.S. pop radio stations that skew toward a more mature sound, often called "adult pop." The track's current placement is still its all-time peak, but it's knocking on the door of even greater success.
For now, the Adult Pop Airplay chart is still ruled by Lady Gaga and Mars' "Die With a Smile," which has proved to be a true juggernaut. The pair's hit has now spent 35 weeks on the tally and has controlled the No. 1 spot for eight of them.
That said, "Die With a Smile" is no longer brand new, and all hits eventually start to slow down. "Apt.," however, has only spent 24 frames on the Adult Pop Airplay list so far. With perhaps more momentum and plenty of life left in it, Rosé could soon capitalize if Mars and Gaga's grip weakens.
It might not happen next week — or even the next few frames — but "Apt." has a genuine shot at reaching No. 1 on the Adult Pop Airplay chart. If it does, Rosé will make history once again, becoming the first K-pop artist to lead this specific radio ranking.
K-pop acts hitting No. 1 on Billboard's radio tallies remains an incredibly rare feat. Despite the genre's worldwide popularity, U.S. radio has traditionally been tougher to crack. Rosé has done it before on another tally, and she's hoping to add another honor to her growing collection.
Even if "Apt." never climbs higher, it's already the most successful cut by a K-pop musician in Adult Pop Airplay history. Weeks ago, Rosé and Mars's collaboration overtook BTS and Coldplay's "My Universe," which peaked at No. 8, to claim the title of the highest-charting K-pop hit on this roster.
"Apt." has now spent more time on the Adult Pop Airplay chart than "My Universe," BTS's "Dynamite," as well as Fifty Fifty's "Cupid," each of which stuck around for just 20 frames.
Across Billboard's three pop radio charts, "Apt." also claims the record as the highest-rising K-pop song. It's tied for that honor on the Adult Contemporary roster, where it matched the No. 16 peak set by both "Dynamite" and "My Universe."
On the Pop Airplay chart — perhaps the most competitive radio tally Billboard publishes — "Apt." stands alone as the only song by a K-pop act to ever reach No. 1.

Elton John says ‘we will not back down' in awards speech addressing AI concerns
Sir Elton John said 'we will not back down' in an awards speech where he pleaded with the UK Government to 'do the right thing' by strengthening copyright protections when artificial intelligence (AI) models learn from creatives' content. The Government has repeatedly rejected changes to the Data (Use and Access) Bill, proposed by the House of Lords, aimed at strengthening protections for the creative sector. Peers have attempted to amend the Bill by adding a commitment to introduce transparency requirements, aiming to ensure copyright holders are able to see when their work has been used and by who. Veteran rock singer Sir Elton, 78, who picked up the Creators' Champion Award at Billboard's Global Power Players Event on Wednesday, is among hundreds of creatives who have raised concerns over AI companies using copyrighted work without permission. In an Instagram post he thanked the US magazine for the award and said: 'Supporting the next generation of British artists is one of the major driving forces in my life. 'As everyone in that room was aware, the Data Bill is currently looming over our industries and the future livelihood of all artists. It is an existential issue. 'Earlier this evening, the Government was defeated for an unprecedented fifth time by the House of Lords who have backed the crucial amendment to the Bill. 'I am now calling on the Government to do the right thing and get transparency added to the Bill. 'Administration of copyright must be transparent. And it must have an artist's full permission. These two principles are the bedrock of our industry. They must be included in the data Bill as a backstop. 'Let's be clear – we want to work with the Government. We are not anti AI. We are not anti big tech. We are not against Labour. We want a solution that brings all parties together in a way that's transparent, fair and allows artists to maintain control of their work. 'We will not let the Government forget their promise to support our creative industries. We will not back down and we will not quietly go away. This is just the beginning. 'Thank you, Billboard. And thank you Baroness Kidron and The House of Lords for standing up for our world-beating artists, journalists, playwrights, designers and authors.' The prolonged impasse and the conduct of proceedings at Westminster now threatens the future of the whole Bill and its measures, including a crackdown on deepfake porn abuse.
