Meanwhile, only one other K-pop musical act has reached the top 10 on the Radio Songs chart in the past. Global septet BTS entered the list with their single ‘Dynamite.’ The track soared to tenth place several years ago. Now, Rosé is tied with the septet. Notably, she may end up soaring higher given the growing popularity of her track.

Moreover, the track recently created K-pop history. The BLACKPINK songstress dethroned PSY’s ‘Gangnam Style.’ ‘APT’ is now the fastest K-pop track to cross 700 million views on YouTube. The duo has broken the record previously held by PSY’s 2012 raging global phenomenon, ‘Gangnam Style.’
