Rosé's 'Apt.' Returns to Billboard Hot 100 Top 10, Extends K-Pop Chart Record

Rosé of Blackpink is experiencing continued solo success as "Apt.," her collaboration with Bruno Mars, rebounds into the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100, climbing from No. 14 to No. 10 this week. This resurgence underscores the song's enduring popularity, especially after nearly half a year on the chart, where it previously peaked at No. 3. The Hot 100 saw a shakeup with new entries last week, including Chappell Roan's "The Giver" at No. 5 and Playboi Carti's "Evil Jordan" and "Rather Lie" at Nos. 2 and 4, respectively, temporarily pushing "Apt." down. However, with the departure of most of these new tracks from the top tier, "Apt." has made a notable comeback. "Apt." is among four songs re-entering the top 10, joining Teddy Swims's "Lose Control" (up to No. 6), Drake's "Nokia" (up to No. 7), and Benson Boone's "Beautiful Things" (up to No. 8). Rosé's "Apt." has now spent 23 weeks on the Hot 100, making it the fifth longest-charting hit by a K-pop artist on the Billboard chart. If it maintains its performance, it could soon tie Fifty Fifty's "Cupid" as the fourth longest-charting song by a South Korean act in Hot 100 history.
