Rosé Makes Radio History In America Yet Again with 'Apt.'
Rosé's 'Apt.' continues its run in the U.S., tying Fifty Fifty's 'Cupid' as the ... More third-longest-running hit by any K-pop act on the Adult Contemporary chart.

(Photo by TheStewartofNY/GC Images) Rosé scored a real long-term win with 'Apt.,' which even she might not have expected when she first dropped the cut in 2024. The single remains a radio staple in the U.S., still performing exceptionally well on all three of Billboard's major pop-focused charts. While the track is starting to slow down on one list, it's holding steady near its peak on another — and it's sitting at its highest position ever on a third. It's not just where 'Apt.' ranks that matters, though, but how long it's lasted, and with each new frame, Rosé continues to make history. 'Apt.' has now spent 13 weeks on the Adult Contemporary chart, which measures the tunes that reach the largest total audience via adult contemporary radio stations in the U.S. That's one of the longest stays ever by any K-pop act, solo or otherwise. Rosé, who was born in New Zealand but launched her music career in South Korea as one-fourth of the global girl group Blackpink, has enjoyed huge success both with the band and on her own. While not all of her solo material fits squarely into the K-pop box, 'Apt.' showcases her bilingual skills, with lyrics in both English and Korean. With 13 frames now to its credit, 'Apt.' ties Fifty Fifty's 'Cupid' as the third-longest-charting hit by a K-pop act on the Adult Contemporary ranking. 'Cupid' fell off the list after 13 weeks, but Rosé may soon pull ahead. Currently, the all-time record for the longest-running K-pop songs belongs to BTS's 'Dynamite' and the septet's collaboration with Coldplay, 'My Universe.' Both tracks held on for 20 weeks — a high bar, sure, but not necessarily out of reach. This week, 'Apt.' is a non-mover at No. 17 on the Adult Contemporary chart, just one rung below its all-time high. Given how slowly songs tend to move around on this specific ranking, there's a good chance the cut will stick around for at least another week, if not several more. It's highly likely Rosé will break her current tie with Fifty Fifty very soon, and if momentum holds, she may start creeping up on those BTS records. 'Apt.' has already reached the summit of the Pop Airplay chart, a major win for any K-pop artist. While the song slips this week from No. 7 to No. 11, dipping outside the top 10, a post-peak decline like that is fairly typical after such a high and following such a lengthy stay on the tally. On the Adult Pop Airplay chart, Rosé's collaboration with Bruno Mars holds at No. 2 for another week. That's the track's all-time peak so far, and it stands a real shot at becoming the first No. 1 on that list by any K-pop musician. If 'Apt.' can hang on a little longer, it might just help Rosé make even more history.

Blackpink's Rosé Beats BTS And Makes Radio History — Again
Rosé's solo hit "Apt" climbs to a new peak on the Adult Contemporary chart, outlasting BTS's ... More "Butter" and charting across all three major U.S. pop radio formats. NEW YORK, NEW YORK - OCTOBER 13: Rosé aka Roseanne Park MBE is seen in Midtown on October 13, 2024 in New York City. (Photo by TheStewartofNY/GC Images) Blackpink's Rosé just won't let go of American radio — and at this point, why should she? The K-pop superstar's breakout solo hit "Apt." is still holding on across multiple Billboard airplay rankings this spring, and with every passing frame, it continues to make history. As the months roll on, Rosé finds herself not just lingering on important U.S. lists, but steadily climbing — and, in the process, inching past some of the most recognizable names in the genre she helped globalize. "Apt." lifts from No. 17 to No. 16 on the current edition of the Adult Contemporary chart, hitting a new high point on that ranking. The list — one of three Billboard rankings that measures success at pop-centric radio formats in the U.S. — has become a reliable home for the tune throughout the past few months. Rosé's "Apt." has now spent 11 weeks on the Adult Contemporary chart. This latest frame helps the track break out of a tie and stand alone as the fourth-longest-charting release by any K-pop artist on this particular list. While "Apt." doesn't sound like a typical K-pop single, Rosé's association with the genre is easy to pinpoint. Her success with Blackpink catapulted her to international stardom, and that connection still follows her into solo territory, even when the music veers in a more Western pop direction. At 11 weeks, "Apt." has now outlasted BTS's 'Butter' on the Adult Contemporary chart, pushing that fan-favorite down to fifth place on the all-time list of the longest-running hits by K-pop acts. Until this week, both singles had spent 10 frames on the tally, but now Rosé pulls ahead. Further up on the ranking of the most successful tunes by K-pop stars on this list sit a trio of other global smashes. BTS's 'Dynamite' and 'My Universe' — the septet's collaborative effort with Coldplay — are tied for first, with 20 weeks each on the roster. Just ahead of "Apt." is 'Cupid' by Fifty Fifty, which has held on for 13 frames. That's now the next hurdle for Rosé, and looking at how well "Apt" continues to perform, it might not be long before she matchesthat hit as well. Rosé's solo hit doesn't just appear on one pop radio ranking this week – it finds a home on all three of Billboard's major tallies focused on the genre's airplay. In addition to its new peak on the Adult Contemporary chart, "Apt." also lifts from No. 5 to No. 4 on the Adult Pop Airplay list. The track does slide slightly on the Pop Airplay chart, backing down from No. 7 to No. 9. "Apt." previously reached No. 1 on that ranking, so a slight decline is hardly a setback.

Rosé Ties BTS's Biggest Hits — But She May Soon Beat The Band
Rosé ties BTS's 'Dynamite' for the longest run by a K-pop act on the Adult Pop Airplay chart as ... More 'Apt.' continues rising in the U.S. NEW YORK, NEW YORK - OCTOBER 12: Rosé, aka Roseanne Park MBE, is seen on the Upper East Side on October 12, 2024 in New York City. (Photo by TheStewartofNY/GC Images) Rosé is quickly becoming one of the most important K-pop soloists in history. Week after week, the Blackpink singer reaches new heights on the American charts, or ties records set by her fellow K-pop stars. Much of this success can be attributed to her breakout solo single, "Apt." Her collaboration with Bruno Mars launched as a smash months ago, and has remained one ever since. This week, the song earns yet another accolade, helping Rosé inch closer to a milestone no one from her part of the world has achieved before. Rosé Scores a New Radio Peak "Apt." is still a massive radio hit in the U.S., and there's no real indication that its popularity is fading. In fact, quite the opposite is true. The Rosé/Mars duet steps up to No. 5 on the Adult Pop Airplay chart this frame. That's a gain of just one spot from last time around, but it's enough to give the single a new all-time best placement on the ranking. After months of climbing, it now stands as the highest-charting win by any K-pop artist on the list, and it may not be done moving. "Apt." Ties the BTS's All-Time Record This frame, "Apt." also ties a historic record on the same list. The track has now spent 20 weeks on the Adult Pop Airplay chart. That puts it in a four-way tie with some very notable K-pop successes as the longest-running smash ever. "Apt." joins BTS's "Dynamite," Fifty Fifty's "Cupid," and "My Universe," a collaboration between Coldplay and BTS, as the longest-running songs by K-pop acts on the Adult Pop Airplay list. All four tracks have now managed 20 turns on the roster. Rosé Is Poised to Break Her Tie This tie probably isn't going to last very long. Since "Apt." is still safely inside the top 10 on the Adult Pop Airplay chart — and, in fact, just hit a new peak — there's little chance it will fall off the list in the immediate future. Rosé is almost guaranteed to break the record within a matter of days. Once the charts are published again in a few days, "Apt." will likely become the first song by a K-pop act to reach 21 weeks on the Adult Pop Airplay tally. Rosé Marks Another Chart First "Apt," already claimed the honor of being the highest-rising hit by a K-pop artist in the history of the Adult Pop Airplay ranking, and this week, it extends that lead. Not long ago, the song passed "My Universe," which stalled at No. 8. Now that it's reached No. 5, it's the first top five smash by any K-pop musical act on this radio roster.
