But ‘APT.’ didn’t only mark the biggest song of the K-pop star’s career, it still continues to notch the top spot on many charts by being the biggest consumed song on the planet, excluding US streaming data.
Its reign on the global charts has continued in the weeks since its release, and looks set to continue well into the New Year.
Rosé Achieves This Incredible Feat With This Chart Achievement

With ‘APT.’ spending nine weeks, she joins an elite club controlled by the likes of Gayle’s ‘ABCDEFU,’ Olivia Rodrigo’s ‘Drivers License,’ The Kid Laroi and Justin Bieber’s ‘Stay,’ and Jung Kook and Latto’s ‘Seven.’

I mean, it did hold its own against a plethora of new Christmas tunes and classics.
At present, it also ties BTS’ Jung Kook’s ‘Seven’ as the longest running single by any K-pop musician in the history of the Billboard Global Excl. US. This may well change as we continue to “Apt. Apt.” into the New Year.
