Blackpink's Rosé continues to take the global music scene by storm through her collaboration with Bruno Mars, "APT."

The music video for the song has surpassed 114 million views as of Thursday afternoon, just six days after its release on Oct. 18.

A prerelease track from Rosé's upcoming first full-length album, “rosie," the song immediately dominated major Korean music streaming platforms like Melon, Genie, Bugs and Vibe. The song also sits atop Spotify's Global Top 50 chart as of Thursday afternoon, making Rosé the first Korean female soloist to take the No. 1 spot on the chart.


Foreign news outlets are also praising the popularity of "APT."

Billboard described the song as "one of the biggest streaming hits in both the United States and the world since its release last Friday," while music publication NME said, "Rosé has already proved she can write a killer song, but on 'APT.,' the first taste of her debut solo album, she takes a gigantic leap forward."

The craze has also spread across social media. More than 400,000 videos have been uploaded using the hashtag "#apt" on TikTok alone, with many fans imitating the choreography, explaining the Korean drinking game featured in the song and trying to pronounce the word "apateu," a Korean term used to mean apartment.

Grammy-winning artist Charlie Puth has also shared a video of himself attempting the pronunciation on TikTok with a message saying, “Stuck in my head forever.”

"APT." came as Rosé's first new track since she signed with The Black Label in June.

Rosé's bandmates Jennie and Lisa also released solo singles, "Mantra" and "Moonlit Floor," earlier this month.
