BLACKPINK's ROSÉ rewrites K-pop history with longest-running entry on the Billboard Hot 100
🌟 34 Weeks Strong — ROSÉ Sets New K-pop Milestone
ROSÉ of BLACKPINK has made history on the U.S. Billboard charts. Her solo track APT. has now charted on the Hot 100 for 34 consecutive weeks, the longest run ever by a K-pop artist.
According to the latest Billboard update (June 17 KST), APT., the pre-release single from her first full album ROSIE, landed at No. 24 on the Hot 100.
This breaks the previous K-pop record held by BTS's Jimin, whose track WHO stayed on the chart for 33 weeks. ROSÉ now holds the new record — and it's still going.
💿 From 'Perfect All-Kill' to Global Queen
Despite being released in October last year, APT. continues to dominate. It achieved a Perfect All-Kill (PAK) on Korean music platforms and hasn't lost steam internationally.
ROSÉ is now officially the first and highest-charting female K-pop soloist on both major global charts:
- Billboard Hot 100: Peaked at #3
- UK Official Singles Chart Top 100: Peaked at #4
She became the first female K-pop artist to break into the Billboard Hot 100 Top 10, gaining momentum through streaming and viral attention.
🌍 Global Streaming Powerhouse
APT. hit No. 1 in 40+ countries on iTunes shortly after release. It also:
- Topped Spotify USA
- Claimed No. 1 on QQ Music in China
- Went viral on YouTube, topping both trending videos and music categories in South Korea
Meanwhile, her full album ROSIE reached No. 3 on the Billboard 200 — the highest position ever for a female K-pop solo artist.
📈 ROSÉ's Legacy Keeps Growing
With APT., ROSÉ proves she's not just a K-pop icon but a global pop force. Her blend of emotional storytelling, haunting vocals, and striking visuals has earned her a permanent spot in music history.
Whether you're a long-time BLINK or new to her sound, ROSÉ's reign is just getting started.
