For the week of February 22, Rosé and Bruno Mars’ chart-topping hit “APT.” again topped the airwaves, placing at No. 1 on Billboard’s Pop Airplay chart for the fourth week in a row. The chart measures weekly spins on mainstream Top 40 radio stations nationwide, making Rosé the first-ever K-pop act to hold the top spot.
Along with her historic milestone on the Pop Airplay chart, “APT.” reached a new high of No. 4 on Billboard’s Radio Songs chart in its 13th week. This chart tracks airplay of all music genres in the U.S., not only Top 40 pop. With this milestone, Rosé has become the first K-pop artist in history to reach the top 4 of the Radio Songs chart—an achievement that includes both soloists and groups, as well as male and female acts.
Aside from radio airplay, “APT.” continues to fare well on other top Billboard charts. It reached No. 2 in its 17th week on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart, was No. 3 on the Global 200, placed No. 7 on the Hot 100, hit No. 11 on the Digital Song Sales chart, and stood firmly at No. 12 on the Streaming Songs chart.
Rosé’s solo album, “rosie,” is also a top seller. In its 10th week on the Billboard 200, the album is steady at No. 31, breaking its own record for most weeks in the top 40 for any album by a female K-pop artist or a K-pop solo artist of either gender.
Also, “rosie” continued its strong hold at No. 35 on Billboard’s Top Current Album Sales chart for its 10th week, further establishing its long-lasting impact.
Rosé’s presence on the Billboard Artist 100 chart continues to be strong too, ranking No. 31 this week. This is its 18th non-consecutive week on the chart as a solo artist, demonstrating its long-lasting popularity and influence in the music world.
A huge congratulations to Rosé for yet another record-breaking feat!
