BLACKPINK Rosé has achieved a historic feat on Spotify, setting a new record for the highest monthly listeners by a Kpop soloist with an impressive 41.4 million listeners. This achievement allows her to surpass BTS’ Jungkook, who previously held the record with 40.7 million listeners. Rosé's 'number ones' are celebrating her unprecedented success, which marks a significant milestone in her solo career.

Adding to her accomplishments, Rosé has claimed the top spot on the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global (excluding US) charts with APT, her collaborative single with Bruno Mars. Since its October 18 release, the track has resonated with listeners worldwide, not only because it is her first solo single in three years but also as a powerful prelude to her debut studio album, Rosie, scheduled for release in December. The song's catchy beat and the unique blend of Rosé’s and Bruno Mars’ vocals have made it an instant hit, with both fans and critics praising the synergy between the two artists.

Following Rosé on the Billboard Global (excluding US) chart is Kpop sensation aespa with their high-energy single Whiplash, which landed at No. 5. Known for its fast-paced EDM beats and bold lyrics, Whiplash captures aespa’s rebellious spirit, urging fans to break societal norms. This track serves as the lead single from their fifth EP, also titled Whiplash, and has received substantial attention for its powerful bassline and house-inspired beats.

Jennie, another BLACKPINK member, has also secured a spot in the top 10 with her comeback single Mantra at No. 6. Released on October 11, Mantra introduces Jennie's debut studio album, marking her first major project since she departed from YG Entertainment and launched her own independent label. Her comeback has been lauded for its sultry beats and empowering lyrics, revealing Jennie’s personal growth and creative independence. Fans have warmly received this new era in her career, appreciating her bold artistic choices.

Completing the top 10 on the Billboard Global (excluding US) chart is BTS’s Jin with I’ll Be There, a heartfelt pre-release single from his upcoming album, Happy. Known for his emotional delivery, Jin’s performance in "I’ll Be There" has struck a chord with listeners and heightened expectations for his full album. His expressive vocals on the track underscore his artistic range and individuality within the Kpop industry.

In contrast, the Billboard Global 200 chart saw a slight shift in ranks, with Jennie’s Mantra in the seventh spot and aespa's Whiplash positioned at No. 8. Nonetheless, Rosé’s hold at No. 1 with APT stands as a testament to her rising influence as a solo artist on the global stage.
