On Friday, October 18, BLACKPINK member Rosé debuted her latest solo single, APT, in collaboration with Bruno Mars. Remarkably, within just 24 hours of it being released, Rosé achieved a historic milestone by becoming the first female K-pop artist to enter the US iTunes Top 10 with APT, which is currently listed at #5 according to Kworb.
For fans who might not know, BLACKPINK’s Rosé shared the first teasers of her song merely a day prior to its official launch. Consequently, this significant achievement was met with joy and excitement from her supporters. Rosé’s followers inundated social media with accolades for the artist and her new track. One user on X expressed their enthusiasm, stating:
“ROSÉ’s achievement is groundbreaking, making history as the first Asian female artist to debut in the US iTunes top 10. A huge win for diversity in music.”
A plethora of supportive comments from the K-pop star’s fanbase graced the internet. One fan noted that Rosé finally received the recognition she deserves, while another referred to her as a ‘pioneer’ and ‘pookie princess.’
“She’s doing things never done before. A pioneer, a trailblazer, my pookie princess,” a fan stated.
“With less than 24 hours since the song announcement! So proud of you Rosé!! APT is so good!! Rosé is insane!!” wrote another fan.
“She has been underrated for such a long time!!!! Finally, she gets her just recognition for how incredibly she sings and her chemistry with BRUNO F*CKING MARS! I’m so proud; being a Blink and a Bruno fan has fulfilled my childhood dreams,” remarked another enthusiast.
While numerous fans expressed that Rosé’s phenomenal achievement was predictable, others hailed her as an outstanding artist. Yet another admirer called her the ‘dark horse’ of BLACKPINK.
“Not even a surprise; people were pleading for her to release something, and mind you, it was a surprise drop,” mentioned one supporter.
“Have you guys watched the music video? Heard the song? YG was truly holding her back because TALENT AND CHARISMA are through the roof. This is 100% the best song and MV released by any of the BP members so far (and they are all stellar too). Can’t wait for her album,” another fan commented.
“Congratulations, Rosé is undoubtedly a top-tier artist, and a huge shoutout to Bruno as well; he has never put out a bad song or collaboration,” said a fan.
“And back to my initial tweet, she is the dark horse of BP!!! I believe she will be the most successful member,” another user on X wrote.
