On January 26, fans spotted that total streams for Rosé and Bruno Mars’ ‘APT.’ on Spotify had passed the one-billion mark, only 100 days since the song was first released. This makes it the fastest song by a K-pop act to do so in the streaming service’s history, breaking the previous record held by BTS‘ Jungkook.

The achievement also makes ‘APT.’ the second fastest song to do so overall, with Bruno Mars’ other 2024 collaboration song ‘Die With A Smile’ with Lady Gaga besting it with a billion streams in 96 days.

Rosé’s solo album ‘rosie’ dropped in full on December 6, 2024 alongside an accompanying music video for single ‘toxic till the end’. The record featured 12 new tracks in total, including ‘APT.’ and ‘number one girl’, the latter of which was also co-produced by Bruno Mars.

‘APT.’ later went on to be named one of the best 50 songs of 2024 and one of the best 25 K-pop songs of the year. In a four-star review of the album, NME’s Crystal Bell wrote that the album “offers a rare and intimate invitation to understand Rosé as more than just a star — to see Rosie, the woman, searching for validation, love and meaning”.

‘rosie’ marked Rosé’s first body of work since her debut single album ‘R’ in 2021, which included the songs ‘On The Ground’ and ‘Gone’. She also sang the solo track ‘Hard To Love’ on BLACKPINK’s 2022 studio album ‘Born Pink’.
