Jungkook lost painfully to a man who owed 1200 billion, Rosé leisurely released new music

I thought Jungkook would keep the Spotify "throne" for a while longer, but no, the man with 1200 billion in debt has officially defeated him to sit in this position. Kpop history is just the past.

In August 2024, one of the best collaborations of the year was officially released by the top music duo Bruno Mars - Lady Gaga called "Die With A Smile". Without playing trendy beats, without blockbuster MVs, the two superstars used the most original elements such as lyrics and melody to paint a beautiful love story that touches the hearts of listeners.

Upon its release, "Die With A Smile" quickly broke a series of music records, continuously ranking #1 on Spotify Worldwide. Most recently, the hit song also set an unprecedented milestone on the world's largest music listening platform, reaching 1 billion listens on November 20.

Notably, Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga did this in just 96 days. And with the achievement just achieved, "Die With A Smile" became the song that reached 1 billion streams fastest in Spotify history. From here, the throne has officially "changed hands".

It is known that the previous record belonged to Jungkook with the phenomenal hit "Seven", released in July 2023, when it reached 1 billion Spotify streams after 108 broadcasts. In Kpop history, he is also the only artist with a song in the Top 5, reaching the 1 billion stream mark fastest on the world's largest music platform. However, it has now been broken by Bruno Mars.

2024 is considered a pop girl game and Bruno Mars is the rare male singer who "stormed" the music industry all year, from music charts to social media trends. However, both of his songs that swept the year were collaborations with female artists.

Because in addition to "Die With A Smile", the American pop superstar also "caused a storm" with the super hit "APT." - a collaboration with Rosé. Just released in early October, the song has become a digital music phenomenon, many times replacing the No. 1 position of "Die With A Smile" on Spotify Worldwide, setting many milestones for Korean artists.

All in all, the luckiest man so far is still Bruno Mars. After making Spotify history, the singer posted on Instagram a thank you to his two "collaborators" Lady Gaga and Rosé. "My girls Lady Gaga and Rosé are making history," he wrote. Along with that, "Die With A Smile" reached 1 billion streams on Spotify and "APT." topped the Billboard Japan Hot 100 chart.

Earlier this year, Newsnation reported that Bruno Mars owed a "huge" $50 million to the MGM Casino in Las Vegas. Newsnation also reported that the singer had signed a 9-year contract to perform at the casino to pay off his debt.

This information made the public "half-believing, half-doubting", gradually becoming a common joke among fans. Seeing how Bruno Mars diligently collaborated to release a super hit, they had to thank the casino. Many people humorously said that if he didn't owe 50 million dollars, he probably wouldn't have been so diligent in making music.

After "Die With A Smile", fans around the world are "waiting" to see if "APT." can break the record for fastest 1 billion streams. If so, Bruno Mars is the "dream partner" that everyone wants to collaborate with!

Speaking of the American superstar's foreign collaborator, Rosé also had an equally successful comeback as the first female Kpop solo artist to climb to the Top 1 of the Billboard Japan Hot 100, making everyone admire. Because Japan is the second largest music market in the world, which favors domestic artists and Japanese songs, it is very difficult for an English song to take over the Top 1 of the Billboard chart here.

Riding on the momentum, the "Australian rose" continued to release new music called "Number One Girl" at noon on November 22. The MV of the song only aired for 3 hours and has surpassed 2 million views on the YouTube platform. Notably, according to The Black Label, Bruno Mars also participated as a producer for this song.

Rosé - Lisa join forces to "destroy" international stars on a special occasion, fans are filled with pride Hướng Dương07:00:35 12/02/2025Even though they are working solo, each on their own path, BLACKPINK members still follow each other, even achieving great results together. Rosé and Lisa just showed that.
