BLACKPINK’s Rosé continues to rewrite music history—this time with her smash hit collaboration “APT.” alongside Bruno Mars. On October 31 at 6:23 p.m. KST, the music video officially surpassed 2.1 billion views on YouTube, just 378 days after its release on October 18, 2024.
This milestone makes “APT.” the fastest music video by an Asian artist to reach 2.1 billion views, and the fastest ever led by a female artist. It now ranks as the fourth fastest music video in YouTube history to hit the mark.
Only three other videos have reached 2.1 billion views faster:
- “Despacito” by Luis Fonsi (feat. Daddy Yankee)
- “Shape of You” by Ed Sheeran
- “Girls Like You” by Maroon 5 (feat. Cardi B)
With its dreamy visuals, genre-blending sound, and undeniable star power, “APT.” continues to captivate global audiences and cement Rosé’s place as a record-breaking solo artist.
