Rose of Black Pink has continued its "double success" by simultaneously entering the UK's official single and album charts with her pre-release song "APT" and her first solo album "rosie." In particular, "Apartment" has shown her potential to maintain the top 5 for nine consecutive weeks.
According to the latest UK official chart released on the 20th (local time), Rosé's hit "Apartment," which collaborated with pop star Bruno Mars, ranked fifth on the official single chart "Top 100," down one place from last week, and succeeded in entering the chart for nine consecutive weeks.
"Apartment" has been showing off its steady popularity since it ranked fourth in the first week of chart entry, ranking second, third for five consecutive weeks, and fifth this week. This is a very unusual record for a K-pop female solo artist and is considered an indicator of Rosé's global popularity.
Rosé's first solo studio album, "Rosie," which includes "Apartment," also ranked 49th on the official album chart "Top 100," down 45 notches from last week, and was on the chart for the second consecutive week. Both singles and albums entered the chart and showed a "double box office success" as a result of Rosé's musical capabilities and influence at the same time.
Meanwhile, the group Stray Kids' new album "HOP" entered the official album chart "Top 100" at 91st place.
In this album, Stray Kids introduced a new format and genre called SKZHOP HIPTape, which combines SKZ, an abbreviation of Stray Kids, and hip-hop. It is explained that the album presents Stray Kids' own music world, which was not officially defined before. It seems that they wanted to bring freshness to global music fans through new attempts.
Stray Kids is also expecting to reach the top of the Billboard 200, the main album chart of the U.S. Billboard, which will be released as early as the 22nd (local time). If it performs well on the Billboard chart following its entry into the UK's official chart, Stray Kids is expected to establish a stronger position in the global music market.
