Bruno MarsThe ballad now solely claims the longest Global 200 reign of 2024, surpassing the seven weeks that Benson Boone’s “Beautiful Things” posted at No. 1 in February-April.

“Die With a Smile” leads the Global 200 with 110.3 million streams and 8,000 sold (down 5% week-over-week in each metric) worldwide October 11-17. The song, which became Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ first No. 1 each since the chart began, has drawn over 100 million streams globally in each of the last seven weeks, the most such frames in a row since Miley Cyrus’ “Flowers” also linked seven triple-digit weeks from its chart start in January 2023.

Bruno Mars Teams Up with Rosé to Release New Pop-Punk Single “Apt.”

Bruno Mars is back with a new banger…

The 39-year-old part-Puerto Rican Grammy-winning artist has teamed up with BLACKPINK’s ROSÉ to release the new single “APT.,” a slick pop confection full of clap-along refrains that will inspire wide-ranging shimmying if it ever gets a proper live performance.

Bruno Mars, RoseThe song arrived on Friday, October18, just a day after the duo announced it, taking to Instagram to share the collaboration’s cover art. In the artwork, the BLACKPINK superstar lounges in front of a drum set, with the “Locked Out of Heaven” singer sitting behind it, holding the drumsticks. The pair, who are in black-and-white against a bright pink foreground, are matching in leather jackets and white t-shirts.

They’ve also been spending a lot of quality time together. Just hours before “Apt.” dropped, ROSÉ took to her Instagram Stories to share a video of the duo attending a soccer game.

Meanwhile, Mars told a hilariously wild version of a story on his Instagram page that involved ROSÉ getting him “saucy” while teaching him how to play a Korean drinking game.

“Soon after, she tried to kiss me, and I was like ‘woah Rosie! what part of the game is this?’ She was like, ‘I ain’t playin games wit you anymore lil boy! Big Rosie bout that BIDNESS!’ Shaken, I replied ‘stop Rosie, I’m scared!’ But other than that, super chill night,” he playfully wrote in the caption, to which ROSÉ replied in the comments, “what’s wrong with uuuu.”

“Apt.” will mark the K-pop star’s first release since announcing her December-slated 12-track album rosie earlier this month, and Mars’ first release since teaming up with Lady Gaga on the hit summer duet, “Die With a Smile,” which reached No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped the Billboard Global 200 chart for seven weeks.
