Blackpink Rosé's 'Apartment' Ranks 2nd on UK Singles Chart

The duet song 'Apartment' by girl group Blackpink's Rosé and pop star Bruno Mars ranked second on the UK Official Singles Chart's 'Top 100'.

With this, Rosé became the highest-ranking female K-pop artist on the UK Singles Chart.

According to the latest rankings released on the 1st (local time), 'Apartment' came in second place, following Gigi Perez's 'Sailor Song.'

This song was inspired by the Korean drinking game, 'Apartment Game', and is gaining attention for its addictive chorus and cheerful band sound. The music video for this song, which also ranked 8th on Billboard's 'Hot 100', proved its popularity by surpassing 200 million YouTube views in just 11 days after its release.

Additionally, on social media platforms such as TikTok, a challenge in which foreign fans imitate the Korean pronunciation of 'apartment' is becoming popular, continuing its global popularity.

If 'Apartment' reaches No. 1 on the charts in the future, Rosé will become the first K-pop artist to reach No. 1 on both the UK singles and album charts.
