A Record That Belongs in Music History
Released on October 18, 2024, “APT.” by BLACKPINK’s Rosé and Bruno Mars took just over a year and five months to cross the 2.4 billion mark — making it the fastest music video led by a female artist and the fastest by any Asian artist to reach this milestone on YouTube.
What makes this even more extraordinary is where it sits in the all-time global rankings. Across every artist in YouTube history, only three music videos have reached 2.4 billion views faster — Despacito by Luis Fonsi, Shape of You by Ed Sheeran, and Girls Like You by Maroon 5. That’s the company Rosé is keeping now, and it feels absolutely earned.
