Rosé breaks own K-pop female artist record as "APT." climbs to No. 3 on Billboard Hot 100

BLACKPINK's Rosé has broken her own record as the highest-charting K-pop female artist ever on the Billboard charts.

Billboard announced on Monday local time that Rosé's hit song with Bruno Mars, "APT.", climbed to number three on the Billboard Hot 100, 14 weeks after its release in October last year.

With this achievement, she has shattered her previous record of number five, which had been the highest-charting position ever achieved by a female K-pop artist.

"APT." has also made history as the first K-pop track to reach number one on Billboard's Pop Airplay chart, which ranks the week's most popular songs based on radio airplay.
