ROSÉ is breaking records and making history.

The BLACKPINK member and solo sensation has debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 with her first full-length album, rosie. This marks the highest-charting album ever by a Korean female solo artist in the U.S., Atlantic Records confirmed.

The 12-track album, released on December 6, showcases ROSÉ’s artistry in full force. Not only did she co-write every song, but she also served as the executive producer for the entire project, a milestone achievement for the singer-songwriter.

Leading the album’s success is the hit single “APT.,” co-written with Bruno Mars. The song debuted at No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100, making ROSÉ the first female Korean artist to crack the chart’s top 10.

In November, she dropped the second single, “Number One Girl,” giving fans another taste of her evolving sound and personal lyrics. The third single, “Toxic Till the End,” arrived alongside the album’s release, cementing her position as one of the most exciting solo acts in music today.

rosie isn’t just a commercial success—it’s a deeply personal project that highlights ROSÉ’s growth as an artist. From her involvement in songwriting to overseeing the album’s production, the BLACKPINK star has taken control of her narrative in a way that feels authentic and empowering.

With this historic Billboard debut and groundbreaking chart performance, ROSÉ continues to pave the way for Korean female soloists on the global stage. Fans and critics alike are hailing the album as a triumph, and with her record-breaking start, it’s clear ROSÉ’s solo era is off to a dazzling beginning.
