News summary

Rosé's single 'APT.', featuring Bruno Mars, has become a global sensation, achieving over 100 million streams on Spotify within a week, marking a record for a female K-pop solo artist. Despite its success, the song has faced plagiarism allegations regarding similarities to Japanese artist Miku Sawai's 2013 track, 'Sorry, I Can't Be a Good Kid', which industry experts have largely dismissed as unfounded due to common chord progressions. The song's catchy chorus and bilingual lyrics have contributed to its popularity, with critics highlighting its mainstream appeal. 'APT.' debuted at No. 4 on the U.K. Official Singles Chart, setting a record for a solo female K-pop artist, and is expected to make a significant impact on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. The controversy surrounding the song has drawn mixed reactions online, with netizens defending Rosé against the plagiarism claims. As anticipation builds for Rosé's full solo album set to release in December, 'APT.' continues to dominate music charts worldwide.
