Rosé’s “Apt.” ties BTS’s “Dynamite” as the longest-running K-pop hit on the Digital Song Sales … More
Rosé’s single “Apt.” is the rare song from a K-pop artist that not only earns a lofty debut on the Billboard charts in America, but also manages to stick around. The track has maintained its impressive performance across all relevant consumption metrics in the United States for months, continuing to rank as a top streamer, radio favorite, and bestselling cut.
At this point, the tune has been making history and breaking records thanks to its longevity, and this frame is no different, as it remains one of the top-selling titles in America yet again.
Rosé’s “Apt.” Remains a Bestseller
Rosé’s collaboration with Bruno Mars is still present on the Digital Song Sales chart, dropping from No. 17 to No. 20. This latest turn marks the thirty-fourth week for “Apt.” on Billboard’s ranking of the bestselling individual tracks of any style or language in the U.S. on platforms like iTunes. As it turns out, that’s a very special number for Rosé.
Rosé Ties BTS for a Longevity Record
“Apt.” is now tied with “Dynamite” by BTS as the longest-running tune by any K-pop artist in the history of the Digital Song Sales chart. Both cuts have lived on the list for 34 frames. Whether “Apt.” can manage just one more stay is yet to be seen.
The sales tally only features 25 spots, and “Apt.” is close to falling off the roster. In the past tracking period, Luminate reports that the global smash sold 1,900 copies, a number which is down from the frame before. Depending on the competition it faces and how fans of Rosé and Mars show up, the Blackpink singer could soon break her tie with BTS. Or, there’s a chance the two will remain tied.
Rosé Also Beats BTS Star Jimin
“Apt.” has lived on many Billboard charts for more than 30 weeks, and it’s still going. The tune breaks Rosé’s tie with “Who” by Jimin, and “Apt.” now stands as the longest-charting track by any K-pop act in Hot 100 history with a thirty-fourth stay on that tally this time around. The cut is also still present on the Streaming Songs and Radio Songs charts, as well as a handful of pop radio rankings.
