BLACKPINK Rosé's 'APT.' Sets New Record For Highest UK Chart Rank By A Female K-Pop Star
BLACKPINK ’s Rosé has once again set the K-pop world ablaze with her latest achievement in the United Kingdom. On October 25, the Official Charts—often called the U.K.’s answer to Billboard—announced that “APT.”, her brand-new collaboration with global star Bruno Mars , debuted at an impressive No. 4 on the Official Singles Chart .
This makes Rosé the highest-ranking female K-pop artist ever on the Official Singles Chart, surpassing not only solo acts but even K-pop groups. The buzz didn’t stop there—“APT.” also hit No. 1 on the Official Singles Downloads Chart and landed at No. 3 on the Official Singles Sales Chart.
Rosé’s historic run on the UK charts began three years ago when her solo debut, “On The Ground,” debuted at No. 43. That achievement made her the first female K-pop soloist to grace the chart. Now, with “APT.” climbing to new heights, Rosé solidifies her status as a global K-pop powerhouse.
