Rosé of the group BLACKPINK has successfully entered the Billboard chart for 30 consecutive weeks, continuing her long-term popularity.
According to the latest chart (dated May 24) preview article released by Billboard on the 20th, Rosé's 'Apartment' ranked 2nd, dropping 3 spots from last week.
With this, 'Apartment' has maintained its position on the 'Hot 100' for 30 consecutive weeks since its release in October last year, showcasing consistent global popularity.
Released in October last year, 'Apartment' debuted at 8th place on the 'Hot 100' immediately after its announcement, signaling its success. This ranking is a record for a K-pop female artist. Although it gradually fell in rankings, it made a comeback and gained global popularity again. Its highest ranking is 3rd.
'Apartment' is inspired by the widely known 'Apartment Game' in Korea. It is a track from Rosé's solo debut album 'Rosie', featuring an addictive chorus of 'Apartment, Apartment~' that has gained worldwide popularity.
Additionally, 'Apartment' has maintained a high position not only on Billboard but also on the UK Official Singles Chart 'Top 100', entering the chart at 4th place, setting a new record for K-pop female artists.
Rosé, who has achieved such remarkable success, has also been named one of Time magazine's '100 Most Influential People in the World in 2025'.
Rosé's first full-length album 'Rosie', which includes 'Apartment', also made a significant impact upon its release. 'Rosie' garnered attention for Rosé's involvement in writing and composing all the tracks, and it entered the Billboard main album chart 'Billboard 200' at 3rd place, breaking another record for K-pop female artists.
BLACKPINK, to which Rosé belongs, has announced full group activities this year and will also hold concerts.
