BLINKs, rejoice! Rosé’s ‘Apt.’ just hit a massive milestone, racking up half a billion views on YouTube. But that’s not even the best part. It’s officially the fastest K-Pop music video ever to reach this number.

That’s right, BLACPINK’s Rosé and Bruno Mars just snatched the crown from BTS’s ‘Dynamite’, which held the record for four years.

‘Apt.’ has been breaking records left and right since its release in October.  The music video is a total vibe, with Rosé and Bruno Mars bringing the energy in a retro-inspired studio setting.

And the song itself?  A total earworm.  That rock-infused sound is giving us all the feels, and fans are going wild for it.  Social media is overflowing with dance challenges and covers.

But ‘APT’ isn’t just dominating YouTube.  It also set a new record for the fastest 2024 song to hit 500 million streams on Spotify.  And if that wasn’t enough, it crushed the record for biggest streaming week on YouTube Music, previously held by BTS’s ‘Butter’.
