APT.’ by Rosé and Bruno Mars Reaches 2 Billion YouTube Views in Record Time

Rosé becomes the only Korean singer with videos over 2 billion views as both a soloist and a BLACKPINK member.

Overview

  • The video crossed the threshold at about 6:43 a.m. KST on Sept. 18, roughly 334 days after its Oct. 18, 2024 release, according to The Black Label.
  • It set new speed marks as the fastest by an Asian artist and the fastest female-led music video to hit 2 billion views, and ranks fourth fastest overall.
  • Only three other videos previously reached 2 billion in under a year: Despacito, Shape of You, and Girls Like You.
  • The single peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and logged a reported 45-week run, a longevity high for a K-pop act.
  • BLACKPINK already has two videos over 2 billion views, and Rosé also won MTV’s Song of the Year earlier this month for APT.
