Bruno Mars, who collaborated with ROSE, achieved the feat of charting in the Top 10 of the Hot 100 for the 20th time with "APT."
"APT." is currently at number 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and Bruno Mars' collaboration with Lady Gaga, "Die With A," was released in August.
"Smile" is in 4th place. It is no exaggeration to say that Bruno Mars' collaboration songs are dominating the TOP 10 of the "HOT100".

"APT." and "Die With A Smile" tied for first and second place on the global Spotify charts.
Meanwhile, "APT." is the preview single for ROSE's first full album "rosie," which will be released on December 6th.
The song was inspired by the chant of the "Apartment Game," a game played at drinking parties in Korea, and ROSE participated in the production. ROSE said, "I really like the 'Apartment Game.'
"It's a great game, simple yet fun, perfect for livening up the atmosphere," he said, "One night, I was teaching the staff who were working with me in the studio how to play the game and seeing them having fun together, so I decided to make a song."
He has attracted attention by sharing behind-the-scenes information, saying, "Work began on the song, and then Bruno Mars joined in to complete it."
