Rosé Becomes Fastest K-pop Artist to Reach 2 Billion Views on YouTube with “APT.”
Rosé, a member of BLACKPINK, has reached a historic milestone in K-pop. Her music video for “APT.,” a collaboration with Bruno Mars, has become the fastest K-pop MV to hit 2 billion views on YouTube. Released on October 18, 2024, it achieved this record in just 335 days, surpassing BTS’s “Dynamite.”
“APT.” is an energetic pop-punk track inspired by a Korean drinking game. The music video is co-directed by Rosé and Bruno Mars alongside Daniel Ramos. It shows the duo performing in a playful garage band setup, with matching leather jackets and a bright pink backdrop. Its casual and fun vibe sets it apart from the usual polished K-pop visuals.
Earlier, Rosé became the first K-pop artist to win the MTV Video Music Award for Song of the Year with “APT.” The song also topped the Billboard Global (excluding U.S.) chart for 15 weeks and surpassed 1 billion streams on Spotify, becoming one of the fastest songs ever to reach that milestone.
Nigerian singer Harry song speaks on the rising insecurity in the country and shared that increasing the security income can help improve their performance in securing the country.
The singer took to social media and urged the government “TO MR PRESIDENT. IF YOU REALLY, TRULY WANNA END INSECURITY IN NIGERIA? Start by increasing the salary and allowances of the armed forces. The salary of the army, the navy, the air force, the Nigerian Police Force is too small, too shameful. Increase their salary, this job should be worth dying for. Increase their salaries ooooooo pls and pls.”
Nigerian singer, Peter Okoye from the former duo P-Square, shares his greatest fear. During a recent interview, the singer spoke about his fears and revealed that he is not afraid of death.
Instead, he said he is scared of poverty and has this fear because he has experienced it before. “I am not afraid of death. The only thing I am afraid of in this life is poverty, of being broke.
“I have tasted it [poverty] before. I have been in our house with my parents and siblings, and a bulldozer came and demolished it.”
Popular Nigerian singer, Davido, makes headlines for his gesture of goodwill. It can be noted that during the afternoon performance, the singer paused for one minute of silence to honor his colleague Wizkid’s mother.
The singer paused during his performance and said “Personally, I have lost many loved ones, people close to me, so I understand how Wizkid is feeling right now. May his mother, our mother because she was dear to me, rest in peace.”
This gesture touched many fans, as they were in awe of the singer showing a kind heart despite the usual rivalry between their fan bases.
