BLACKPINK Rosé has achieved unprecedented success with her solo music, eclipsing even her group’s impressive accomplishments. Rosé’s single “APT.” debuted at #8 on the Billboard Hot 100, the highest-ever ranking for a female K-pop solo artist. This surpasses BLACKPINK’s previous group record, with their song “Pink Venom” peaking at #22.
Rosé‘s solo work has showcased her unique talents and ideas that were previously overshadowed within the group. Her solo single “On The Ground” had previously reached #70 on the Hot 100, but “APT.” skyrocketed 62 spots higher to #8. The track, a collaboration with pop star Bruno Mars, has captivated global audiences with its blend of Rosé’s artistic vision and mainstream appeal.
“The success of “APT.” is a testament to Rosé’s strong creative voice and her ability to connect with music fans worldwide,” said one industry expert. “She has proven herself as a formidable solo artist, breaking new ground for K-pop.”
On the other hand, Rosé’s BLACKPINK bandmate Jennie’s recent solo single “Mantra” only reached #99 on the Hot 100, peaking at a much lower position in comparison. Critics noted that Jennie’s music lacked the distinctive identity and originality that Rosé has showcased.
With Rosé’s highly anticipated debut full-length album set for release in December, anticipation is building to see how she will build upon her remarkable solo breakthrough. Her ability to transcend language and cultural barriers has established her as a true global superstar, leaving her BLACKPINK peers in their wake.
