As of now, “APT” is making moves on major South Korean charts like Melon, Genie, Bugs, and Vibe, claiming an “all-kill” (which means topping all these charts at the same time). But the pop anthem does not stop there! The song has also impacted global charts, becoming the most-streamed track on Global Spotify and Apple Music. It also debuted at the 8th spot on the Billboard Hot 100 and the 4th position on the UK Singles chart.

The song’s concept was inspired by Korea’s “Apartment Game,” a lighthearted pastime that Rosé introduced to her studio team. This playful twist was taken to the next level when Bruno Mars joined the song, adding his signature touch. Meanwhile, Rosé announced her debut album “rosie“dropping on December 6, backed up by the massive success of “APT.”
