Girl group Black Pink member Rosé topped the global chart with her mega hit "APT."

The Black Label said Rosé's single "APT." (apartment) topped the global singles chart released by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) on the 19th (local time).

The IFPI Global Singles Chart is an indicator of the most globally popular songs by analyzing the number of downloads and consumption of sound sources in a year. Rosé is the first K-pop artist to top the chart, and she even set a milestone to reach the top for the first time outside of North America and Europe.

Rosé's duet song "APT." with Bruno Mars, released in October 2024, broke various records on music charts around the world. At the "2025 MTV Video Music Awards," one of the four major popular music awards in the United States, he won the Song of the Year Award, the first K-pop artist to be nominated for the Song of the Year and Record of the Year Award, which is the most prestigious Grammy Awards in the U.S. pop music industry.

He was also nominated for this year's International Song of the Year at the 46th BRIT Awards 2026, a prestigious British awards ceremony launched in 1977 and organized by the British Music Industry Association. As a result, Rosé added another milestone as the first and only K-pop artist to be nominated for the "Brit Awards" in both the group and solo, and attention is being paid to whether she will win the award on the 28th, the date of the event.

Rosie's first full-length album "rosie" released in December of the same year also sparked a heated sensation upon its release. "rosie" became a hot topic with Rosé's participation in writing and composing all the songs, and immediately after its release, it entered the Billboard main album chart "Billboard 200" at No. 3, and has since been ranked on the "Billboard 200" chart for 27 consecutive weeks, breaking the best and longest record of K-pop female artists together. Rosé not only included her own honest stories in her own songs, but also expanded her musical spectrum by including songs of various genres in her first full album.
