Bruno Mars and Rose’s “Apt” climbs again in its fortieth week on U.K. charts, returning to the top … More
By the time most pop songs hit 40 weeks on any chart, they’re lucky to even still be present. Pop music is known for its quick turnover rate, and while a very lucky few smashes can remain in the public’s mind for months, if not years, that kind of success is incredibly rare.
Bruno Mars and Rosé scored a surprisingly sturdy smash with “Apt.,” which didn’t just earn a lofty debut or reach impressive positions on the charts, it’s managed to stick around for dozens of weeks. The collaboration isn’t just holding on — it’s actually managing to rise across nearly every tally it appears on in the United Kingdom, which is uncommon for a tune that’s been present since last year.
“Apt.” Appears on Five Charts Simultaneously
This week in the U.K., “Apt.” lives on five different charts. It’s a win when it comes to streaming platforms and pure purchases, and when combined, general consumption.
This frame, the tune lifts on four rosters and even returns to the Official Physical Singles chart. Physical copies of “Apt.” are still selling incredibly well, as the tune reappears at No. 38, becoming a top 40 smash again.
Sales and Streaming Wins
Amazingly, “Apt.” is a top 40 hit on the other four charts where it’s still found as well. The cut sits highest on the Official Streaming ranking, coming in at No. 16. It also lands at No. 24 on both the Official Singles Sales and Official Singles Downloads rosters.
“Apt.” returns to the top 40 region – which usually defines when a charting cut becomes a real smash – on the main list of the biggest songs in the U.K., coincidentally in its fortieth week on the list. The multilingual track steps up from No. 43 to No. 40, narrowly managing to find space within that tier.
A Former No. 1 That’s Still Rising
In the past, “Apt.” has hit No. 1 on almost every chart where it’s now climbing. The Korean-English duet only missed the peak position on the Official Singles chart, where it almost became a historic leader. Instead, it topped out in second place.
