Mariah Carey, the singer with five-octave vocal ranges, has made a legacy of acing the charts with her song ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’, every December. However, her throne seems precarious as Rosé and Bruno Mars' ‘APT.’ has now tied with Carey’s record on Billboard’s Global Excl. U.S. chart. With the week ending on February 8, ‘APT.’ will spend its 14th consecutive week at No.1, the record which Carey set.
As far as making a global impact, not only ‘APT.’ serves its 12th consecutive week at No. 1 on Billboard’s Global but it also created its own record by being the first K-Pop song with most weeks at No.1. Mariah’s flagship song took four years to be named as one of the holiday classics, whereas Rosé and Bruno’s collaboration achieved the title in less than a year. Currently, the K-pop song has the ability to break the record by slipping past this week successfully.
Meanwhile, the New Zealand-South Korean singer’s debut album ‘Rosie’ spent its 8th consecutive week at No. 26 on the Billboard 200, creating history by being the only solo female K-pop record to hit the charts for staying for weeks. While she achieved success on her album with her powerful notes, the BLACKPINK member also became the first K-Pop artist to enter the Top 3 on Billboard’s Hot 100. The tunes of ‘APT.’ and the surprising yet melodious collaboration achieved multiple crowns and appreciation all over the world.
Additionally, the catchy tune spent its 15th consecutive week topping the chart of Billboard’s Pop Airplay which measures weekly mainstream plays at Top 40 radio stations in the US. In the digital field, the song remains the second best-selling song in the U.S., charting at No. 2 in digital sales and No. 4 on streaming songs charts.
