This achievement was within the predictions of the specialized sites. APT. accumulated 25 million streams, 14,000 sales and 3.2 million radio hits during the scoring period. Rank 8 on the Billboard HOT 100 made Rosé the first female KPop artist to have a song in the Top 10 of this chart.

In addition, APT. also topped two other Billboard charts, Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl US. She is the only female K-Pop solo artist to have two songs topping the two charts (with On The Ground and APT.).

Receiving the newly set record, on her personal Instagram story, Rosé could not hide her happiness by sharing: "Oh my god, what is happening. This is crazy. Thank you so much number ones, Blinks, guys. This is for you. This is my dream come true".

The previous highest ranking by a female K-pop artist on the Billboard HOT 100 was BLACKPINK's collaboration with Selena Gomez on the song Ice Cream, which peaked at No. 13 in 2020. With the success of APT, Rosé officially broke that record, setting a new milestone for herself and the group.

Winning big internationally, APT. also "made a killing" in the Korean market when this song achieved a Perfect All-Kill (leading all charts in the iChart system for a certain period of time) on October 27. Thus, Rosé is the first member of BLACKPINK to achieve this title in her solo career. Previously, APT.'s YouTube views, streams on music platforms... also helped Rosé set many impressive records.

With this achievement, Rosé has another new record. In addition, she also surpassed 2 other members of her group, Lisa and Jennie, to achieve this achievement.

APT. was released as a surprise hit, announced one day and released the next. The name APT comes from a popular Korean drinking game called "Apartment". This game is often played at gatherings of friends and creates a fun, lively atmosphere. Rosé and Bruno Mars decided to keep the Korean pronunciation of "A-pa-thu" as a way to respect the original inspiration and show a special connection to Korean culture.

The MV was shot by Rosé and Bruno Mars in a simple set with musical instruments and a pink background. The vibrant melody and cheerful lyrics of APT bring a sense of excitement and freedom. The song is like an invitation for everyone to join in the happy atmosphere and forget about their worries. APT quickly became a social media phenomenon and was loved by a large audience.
