On October 18, social media almost exploded when the song APT. by Rosé (BlackPink) and Bruno Mars was released, just one day after the announcement poster.
In less than 24 hours, Rosé and Bruno Mars' MV APT. has officially become the male-female collaboration with the highest first-day views on YouTube in 2024 with 25,221,989 views. It broke the previous record of Taylor Swift and Post Malone with their hit Fortnight with 19,187,656 views.
APT. recorded the achievement of leading the global iTunes chart (including Europe), and occupied the top 1 iTunes in 51 countries and regions.
Rosé surpasses Jennie and Lisa's solo achievements
Although her solo debut was later than her two group members Lisa and Jennie, the Gone singer's musical achievements are somewhat overwhelming compared to her teammates.
At 2:00 p.m. on October 19, APT. officially achieved “Real Time All-Kill” in Korea, the 11th song this year to do so.

The song topped the real-time charts of the top 4 music platforms in the land of kimchi: Melon, Bugs, Genie, Flo. Something that neither Lisa nor Jennie could do after their comeback to the music race.
The song APT. also helped Bruno Mars make history in Korean music, as the fifth USUK artist to lead the Melon Top 100 (after Latto, The Kid LAROI, Justin Bieber, Coldplay).
The reason APT. is popular with Korean audiences is because its content comes from the popular drinking game “Apartment game” in this country.
The two artists decided to keep the Korean pronunciation of the game “apateu” and repeat it throughout the chorus as a way to highlight and honor Korean culture.
The song also surpassed Jennie's Mantra (No. 27), becoming the song by a female K-pop solo artist with the highest debut ranking on US iTunes this year.
At the same time, Rosé is also the first Asian female artist in history to debut directly into the top 10 of this chart.
A post on the Pann Nate forum attracted more than 70,000 views about the solo songs of BlackPink members, the result APT. almost captured the hearts of the audience.

“Bruno Mars and Rosé's collaboration is heaven”; “when it comes to music, it's Rosé, when it comes to looks, it's Lisa”; “compared to Rosé, both Jennie and Lisa are pretty safe” - comments on Pann.
It can be seen that although they both chose English for their solo songs, Rosé cleverly incorporated her native culture into the song's content. This helped APT. win big in both Korea and the international market.
Rosé and Bruno Mars' breakthrough with the punk-pop genre
Bruno Mars is considered to have a "cool hand" when it comes to creating hits with his collaborations. Before Rosé, the pop icon had a famous collaboration with Lady Gaga in the music history with the super hit Die with a Smile .
What's special about the new song APT. is its fun, energetic punk-pop melody, something that neither Rosé nor Bruno Mars have attempted before.

Even the Australian rose didn't care about her image and went all out, kissing Bruno Mars on the cheek also made fans extremely excited.
What helped Rosé affirm her musical talent was not being afraid to step out of her comfort zone. Compared to previous products that all had a soulful ballad or strong pop rock feel, APT. is worthy of being a new step forward in the career of the BlackPink member.

The same goes for Bruno Mars, who has become famous worldwide for his soulful love songs. Audiences would hardly imagine that one day the “king of funk” would sing and dance to such vibrant music.
With the success of APT., audiences are eagerly awaiting Rosé Rosie 's first full studio album to be released on December 6.
British music magazine NME gave APT. a perfect 5/5 score, commenting: “The BlackPink star has long proven she knows how to make a killer song… Addictive, flirty and downright hilarious, APT. is the perfect opening to Rosé’s new chapter.”
