Rose of Blackpink garnered 100 million views on YouTube with the music video for her Bruno Mars collaboration Apt, her agency The Black Label said Thursday (Oct 24).
The artiste expressed gratitude via the agency, saying the song came out naturally while hanging out at a studio playing the game – originally a drinking game in Korea – and is “really touched and grateful that so many are listening to and enjoying it.”
Apt achieved the feat in five days, the shortest time for a music video released this year, while the earworm swept all music charts at home and topped the iTunes Top Songs Chart in 40 regions.
The single also debuted on Spotify’s Daily Top Songs Charts in the US and around the world, a first for a female K-pop solo singer.
Apt will be included in her upcoming first solo full album Rosie, due out on Dec 6. – The Korea Herald/Asia News Network
