London: "APT.," the latest single from BLACKPINK member Rose, maintained its No. 2 position on the British Official Singles Chart Top 100 for the fourth consecutive week. The single continues to trail behind Lola Young's "Messy," as per the latest chart update released on Friday, British time.
According to Yonhap News Agency, "APT." initially debuted at No. 4 in October last year and has had a tumultuous journey on the chart. After dropping to a low of No. 28, the single made a remarkable recovery, ascending to the No. 2 spot where it has remained for four weeks. "APT." serves as a prerelease single from Rose's first solo full-length album, "rosie," released on December 6.
The track is an upbeat pop-punk number, drawing inspiration from a popular Korean drinking game known as the "apartment game." Its international appeal is bolstered by its catchy chorus, which prominently features the word "apartment," pronounced as "apateu," a Korean abbreviation.
In related chart news, Jimin's "Who" climbed to the seventh position in its 21st week, rising six spots from the previous week. "Who," a hip-hop and R and B track, portrays the longing of someone missing a person they have never met. It is the lead track from the BTS member's second solo album, "Muse," which delves into the artist's search for inspiration.
