BLACKPINK’s Rose and Bruno Mars' hit track APT has surpassed 1.8 billion views on YouTube, setting a new record for the fastest music video by an Asian artist to reach this milestone. The video, released in October 2024, achieved this feat in just over 264 days. APT is the fourth fastest track in YouTube history to hit 1.8 billion views, following Despacito, Shape of You, and Girls Like You. Rose, who drew inspiration from a Korean drinking game for the song, is currently on a world tour with BLACKPINK, marking their first full-stage comeback in nearly two years.
