KOREA: According to Soompi, BLACKPINK’s Rosé has broken new ground for K-pop in the United Kingdom!
On Oct 25 (local time), the U.K.’s Official Charts—often seen as the British counterpart to the U.S. Billboard charts—revealed that Rosé’s latest collaborative single with Bruno Mars, “APT.,” entered the Official Singles Chart at No. 4.
Historic achievement
This accomplishment marks a historic achievement for Rosé, setting a new benchmark as the highest-ranking female K-pop artist on the Official Singles Chart, including group performances.
In addition to this chart entry, “APT.” reached No. 1 on the Official Singles Downloads Chart this week and also debuted at No. 3 on the Official Singles Sales Chart.
Rosé previously made waves on the Official Singles Chart three years ago, becoming the first female K-pop solo artist to ever appear on it when her debut solo single, “On The Ground,” landed at No. 43.
