On the 25th, Bruno Mars shared the news on his Instagram story that "Apartment" had topped the chart on the program "M Countdown," which aired the previous day.

He left a witty message in Korean, saying, "Thank you so much to all the Korean fans! I cried all morning because we got first place on our first music show ㅠㅠ Thank you so much to Ros? who helped us get first place, and thank you for loving Apartment so much."

He then jokingly added, "Love, Bruno oppa."

In response, Ros? replied in English, "So proud of you Bruno Mars."

Among the Melon Top 100 number-one songs, foreign artists who have sung songs include American singer and musical actress Idina Menzel's Disney musical animation "Frozen" OST "Let it Go" in 2014, and the 2021 collaboration "Peaches" by Canadian pop star Justin Bieber and Australian rapper Kid Laroi.

However, it is very rare for a song featuring a foreign artist to take first place on a Korean music show, as in the case of "Apartment (APT.)."

Mars is a musician who has built his own fandom in Korea, having attracted 101,000 spectators over two days during his second visit concert at the Olympic Stadium on June 17-18 last year.

"Apartment" is a single pre-released on the 18th ahead of Ros?'s official comeback on December 6. Inspired by the widely known "Apartment Game" in Korea, the song features a lively sound and was enhanced by Bruno Mars's participation. Since its release, the song has been sweeping global charts.
