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.
