Rosé and Bruno Mars’ “APT.” races past 2.1 billion views, 4th fastest in YouTube history
Rosé of BLACKPINK and Bruno Mars continue their chart-defying momentum as the music video for “APT.” surpassed 2.1 billion views on YouTube at around 6:23 p.m. KST on October 31.

Only three videos reached the benchmark sooner: Luis Fonsi’s “Despacito” (feat. Daddy Yankee), Ed Sheeran’s “Shape of You,” and Maroon 5’s “Girls Like You” (feat. Cardi B).
Milestone: 2.1 billion YouTube views
Time to milestone: 378 days
Records: Fastest by an Asian artist; fastest female-led MV; 4th fastest overall

“APT.” blends Rosé’s crystalline pop sensibility with Bruno Mars’ timeless groove, delivering replay-ready hooks that translate across languages and markets—an emphatic reminder of K-pop’s global reach and the power of high-impact cross-continental collaboration.
Congratulations to Rosé and Bruno Mars on another towering YouTube achievement.
