Rosé (BLACKPINK) was turned away, fans hate.d the super hit APT, out of place like no one else?

Kpop idol Rosé ( Blackpink) recently released her first solo full album in her career called "rosie" with 12 songs. Among them are 2 pre-released songs: "APT." "Number one gir.l".

The 10 new songs include: "3 PM", "Two years", "Toxic till the end", "Drinks or coffee", "Gameboy", "Stay a little longer", "Not the same", "Call it the end", "Too bad for us" and "Dance all night".

According to the Korea Times, the album "rosie" marks a departure not only from the familiar stereotypes of Kpop but also from Blackpink's musical range. Fans expecting songs similar to the previous single "APT." (featuring Bruno Mars) may be surprised, as the album is almost "Number one gir.l" in color.

Unlike typical K-pop hits that focus on choreography, the album "rosie" mainly features introspective ballads, expressing Rosé's most genuine emotions.

The album is inspired by the female idol's personal experiences, such as facing difficulties as a Kpop trainee, the pressure of malicious comments, especially the pain of being caught up in a toxic relationship in the past.

The overall atmosphere of the album is sad and haunting. Therefore, "APT." was unexpectedly "ignored" by fans when enjoying the whole album. According to many opinions, "APT." with its cheerful pop-rock style was completely out of place in the album. Many audiences said that the song made them "feel down", and they created a new playlist to remove "APT." from the album, experiencing the pain of a broken heart in the most complete way.

However, another opinion believes that, if we look at the whole story that Rosé told through the album "rosie", the inclusion of "APT." in this album is still acceptable. The song revolves around two people having fun at a party and flirting with each other. This can also be seen as a part of Rosé's old love.

On the other hand, with the previous success of "APT.", including the song in the album gave Rosé a huge advantage. On the day the album was released (December 6), "APT." returned to the Top 1 on the global Spotify chart, with more than 10 million streams.

"APT." contributed greatly to the 28 million first-day streams of the album "rosie" on the global Spotify chart (9 songs charted), making it the second-largest-streamed debut album by a K-pop solo artist after Jungkook (BTS), and the highest-streamed debut album by a K-pop artist in 2024.

To date, "APT." still maintains around 9-10 million streams a day and has spent the seventh consecutive week at No. 1 on both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. US charts.

"APT." has set a very good foundation, making Rosé the Kpop artist with the highest monthly listeners on the Spotify platform, with a record 62 million listeners as of December 10.

Of the 4 BLACKPINK members, Rosé is the only member who did not establish her own company after leaving YG. She decided to join The Black Label - the label of her close brother Teddy and signed a cooperation agreement with Atlantic - a Warner Music group to release and promote internationally. At the time of announcing that she would join The Black Label instead of establishing her own company like the 3 sisters, Rosé made people regret and worry that Teddy's strategy would affect her.

But now, Rosé has proven herself to be completely independent in her personal career. And as she declared at that time, Rosé chose The Black Label to focus on producing her debut album.

Rosé participated in composing all 12 tracks of the rosie album, controlling the production collaboration with international music teams such as Bruno Mars, D'Mile, Carterlang, Omer Fedi... In total, more than 20 people joined forces to produce music for 12 songs in the rosie album, but Rosé's story is still the main idea.

Rosé made the entire music industry change from a state of skepticism to anticipation, especially after APT. created a phenomenon, breaking many "unprecedented" records. Not in a hurry, Rosé took each step slowly but surely. When the books were closed in December, Rosé would be the first BLACKPINK member to release her debut album.
