BLACKPINK's Rosé has topped the global chart with her hit song 'APT.'. The agency THE BLACK LABEL announced that Rosé's single 'APT.' won the top spot in the global singles chart released by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) on the 19th (local time). The IFPI global singles chart quantifies the consumption of music sources and download counts over a year, analyzing hit levels to show the songs that have gained the highest global popularity. Rosé is the first K-POP artist to achieve the top spot on this chart, and she has also accomplished the remarkable record of being the first to top it outside of North America and Europe. The duet 'APT.' released in October 2024 with Bruno Mars has rewritten various records on global music charts. At the '2025 MTV Video Music Awards,' one of America's four major popular music awards, she became the first K-POP artist to win the Song of the Year award, and she also received nominations for the prestigious Grammy Awards in the categories of Song of the Year and Record of the Year, marking the first time a K-POP artist has been nominated in these categories. Additionally, she was listed as a candidate for the International Song category at the 'The BRIT Awards 2026,' a prestigious British awards ceremony run by the British Phonographic Industry, which began in 1977. With this, Rosé has set another record as the only K-POP artist nominated for the 'BRIT Awards' both as a group and solo, and attention is focused on whether she will ultimately win. Her first full album 'rosie,' released in December of the same year, also received a warm response upon release. 'rosie' became a topic of discussion as Rosé wrote and composed all the songs, and it ranked third on Billboard's main album chart 'Billboard 200' immediately after its release. It then remained on the 'Billboard 200' chart for 27 consecutive weeks, setting the longest record for K-POP female artists. Rosé not only incorporated her own candid stories into her self-composed songs but also included a variety of genres in her first full album, expanding her musical spectrum.
