Okay, blink and read it again — ROSÉ’s debut album Rosie has officially crossed 4 billion streams on Spotify. As a stan, I’m crying happy tears: this makes Rosie the first album by a female K‑pop soloist to reach the milestone, and it’s cemented ROSÉ’s place as a global solo force.
Quick rundown: Rosie was released on December 6, 2024 through The Black Label and Atlantic Records after ROSÉ left YG and Interscope in 2023. The album’s runaway streaming success is powered in large part by the mega-hit “APT,” her collab with Bruno Mars, which alone has passed 2.5 billion streams and originally topped the Billboard Global 200 (peaking at No. 3 on both the Billboard Hot 100 and the UK Singles Chart).
Beyond “APT,” the album’s other tracks keep pulling huge numbers — “toxic till the end” is over ~446 million streams and “number one girl” sits past ~342 million — showing that Rosie is more than one smash single; it’s a full project that resonates worldwide.
How rare is this? Rosie is only the second K‑pop female act release to cross 4 billion streams, after BLACKPINK’s The Album. Compared across the broader K‑pop scene, it now sits among the most‑streamed projects ever (Jung Kook’s Golden is at ~7 billion, Jimin’s Muse and BTS albums BE and Love Yourself: Tear are all in the 4+ billion range).
And the commercial receipts back it up: Rosie debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 — at the time the highest-charting album by a K‑pop female soloist — and even earned a Guinness World Record. It’s been a defining chapter in ROSÉ’s solo career.
- ROSÉ is BLACKPINK’s main vocalist and a member of the group that debuted in 2016.
- Rosie was released December 6, 2024 via The Black Label and Atlantic Records.
- Before Rosie, ROSÉ released the 2021 single album “R,” which included “On The Ground” and “Gone.”
- “APT,” the Bruno Mars collaboration from Rosie, recently surpassed 2.5 billion Spotify streams.
Honestly, this milestone feels like a proud moment for BLINKs and solo-fans alike — ROSÉ proved that she can carry the spotlight and keep building something huge on her own. Can’t wait to see what she does next.
