Rosé’s “Apt” holds on the Hot 100 for a thirty-first week, tying Psy’s “Gangnam Style” as the … More
Rosé’s single “Apt.” is pushed down on the Hot 100 this week as the ranking is dominated by tracks from Morgan Wallen’s new album I’m the Problem. The country superstar fills 36 spots on the busy tally, and his influx sends a handful of tunes off the list, and that reshuffling forces some major long-standing successes to drop.
The Blackpink singer manages to hold on once more, and as expected, her collaboration with Bruno Mars earns another stay on the Hot 100. As of this frame, she ties an important record and comes within striking distance of a historic figure.
Rosé Ties a Major Hot 100 Record
“Apt.” has now spent 31 weeks on the Hot 100. It reaches that milestone as it dips from No. 22 to No. 28 on the list of the most popular tracks in the country. As of this period, “Apt” is tied with “Gangnam Style” by Psy as the third-longest-charting tune by any K-pop act in American history. That catchy smash helped introduce millions to the genre more than a decade ago and ignited the K-pop craze that continues today.
Jimin Still Leads
Jimin owns the all-time record for the longest stay on the Hot 100 by any track from a K-pop star. His single “Who” debuted in mid-2024 and lived on the ranking for 33 weeks. Somewhat surprisingly, it only climbed to No. 12 and never managed to break into the top 10.
Just one frame behind “Who” comes “Dynamite” by BTS, the band that launched Jimin to stardom. The pure pop tune hit No. 1 and remained on the list for 32 weeks, beating “Gangnam Style” by just one stint.
Rosé May Soon Break Record
There’s a great possibility that “Apt.” will earn a thirty-second stay on the Hot 100 in just a few days — and it may even climb again as some of Wallen’s cuts fall away. It seems likely that Rosé could tie Jimin’s all-time record soon, and perhaps even beat it, as “Apt.” remains not just on the chart, but a hugely popular success at the moment.
Radio is helping keep the tune alive these days. This frame, it lifts slightly to No. 21 on Billboard’s Radio Songs chart.
