SEOUL, December 25 (AJP) - Rosé of BLACKPINK has once again demonstrated the global staying power of her hit single "APT.", following a string of major achievements across international charts.

According to The Black Label, Rosé and Bruno Mars's duet "APT." was named Song of the Year by Apple Music, while also ranking No. 1 on Billboard's Global 200 and No. 9 on the Hot 100 year-end charts for 2025.

The song also performed strongly on TikTok, topping its 2025 Year in Music chart for Korea and placing sixth globally, further underscoring its worldwide popularity.

Released in October last year as the pre-release single from Rosé's first full-length album "rosie," "APT." quickly gained global recognition. The song remained on Billboard's Hot 100 for 45 consecutive weeks, setting a new record for the longest-charting K-pop song. Its music video has also surpassed 2.2 billion views on YouTube.

She became the first K-pop artist to win Song of the Year at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards with "APT." in September. The song has also received nominations at the Grammy Awards next February for Song of the Year, Record of the Year, and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, marking the first time a K-pop act has been nominated in two major categories.

Meanwhile, Rosé is currently on the road on BLACKPINK's "Deadline" world tour, with Tokyo and Hong Kong as the next stops.
