Rosé’s smash hit “Apt” with Bruno Mars topped Apple Music’s top 100 global songs of 2025. The Blackpink singer’s song also topped Apple Music’s global most read lyrics and fitness year-end lists; it also landed at No. 1 on the Shazam top 100 global and top 100 global radio charts. Apple Music asserted that 2025 undoubtedly belonged to the Rosé and Bruno Mars hit in a release.
Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s “Luther,” Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ “Die With a Smile,” Lamar’s “Not Like Us” and Billie Eilish’s “Birds of a Feather” rounded out the top five spots.
