Rose of Blackpink garnered 300 million views on YouTube with the music video for “APT.” in record time, agency The Black Label said Tuesday.
The music video featuring collaborating artist Bruno Mars reached the milestone Saturday, in 22 days and six hours since its release, shattering a record for a K-pop solo artist.
Rose has been setting records as a K-pop female solo singer with the single, ranking No. 8 on Billboard’s Hot 100 and No. 2 on the UK’s Official Singles Chart Top 100 as well as debuting atop Spotify’s Top Songs Chart Global and in the US.

The catchy tune will be included in her upcoming first solo studio album “Rosie.” She participated in writing all 12 tracks from the album that will be released on Dec. 6.
According to The Black Label, the chart-topping single surpassed 100 million streams on Spotify within seven days of its release. This marks the fastest such achievement for a female K-pop solo artist and the second-fastest overall for a K-pop act, following Jungkook of BTS.
