Mars' success with "APT." is not limited to vinyl. The song is also performing well on streaming, sales, and downloads charts in the UK, consistently ranking in the top 5.
However, it remains at No. 2 on the Official Singles Chart, with newcomer Lola Young's "Messy" holding the top spot. Despite this, "APT." has already made a significant impact on various UK charts, proving its widespread popularity.
The success of "APT." is not just chart-based; the song's music video has also set records. As of Jan. 31, the video surpassed one billion views on YouTube, reaching this milestone in just 105 days, Inquirer said.
This achievement makes "APT." the fastest K-pop and Asian music video to reach this mark, surpassing Psy's "Gangnam Style."
In addition to this, Rosé has been breaking records of her own. She now holds five Guinness World Records, including becoming the first K-pop artist to top the Apple Music Top 100 Global Chart.
"APT." has also made waves on Billboard's Radio Songs Top 10, making Rosé the first female K-pop artist to reach this tier.

Insider Claims Steelers Are Furious With Former 2nd-Round Pick
The Pittsburgh Steelers have a lot to prove to fans and media pundits alike as a Week 3 contest against the New England Patriots approaches. One of the main concerns thus far has been the defensive front not being able to stop the run. Through two games, the unit has allowed 149.5 yards per game, which is an absolutely ridiculous number for a defense that is labeled as the highest-paid in the NFL. The organization won't have a chance to be competitive in an AFC full of firepower unless Teryl Austin's unit can figure out how to stop opposing offenses. An asterisk can be put next to the first two matchups because rookie first-round selection, Derrick Harmon, hasn't had the opportunity to play, but what has been the most worrisome has been the individuals filling in for him that haven't been able to perform at an encouraging level. One of those players is Keeanu Benton, a former second-round pick who has not blossomed into the player that the team wanted him to be. Pittsburgh Post-Gazette insiders Gerry Dulac and Ray Fittipaldo appeared on a practice report show with the Patriots game on the horizon, and went into some more detail about the defensive line. While the team is high on the other rookie in Yahya Black, Dulac noted that there are some real concerns internally about what has happened with Benton over the years. "The key is being able to be physical and be aggressive, but still being able to make the play, and that's what they're hoping to see from [Yahya] Black," Dulac said. "You know, they really like this guy and he's only going to improve in time. The converse of that Ray, and you mentioned Keeanu Benton, was told to me from inside the building, that they actually think he's regressed." There is not a single member of the Steelers' coaching staff or front office that can be pleased if the feeling is that Benton is getting worse. Spending a second-round selection on a member of the front seven on defense is supposed to provide stability, but it has done the exact opposite. It shouldn't surprise anyone if Benton begins to see the field less and less, while Black finds more opportunities to show that he should be playing more often. It's not time to hit the panic button yet in Pittsburgh, but many are very close to doing so. If the run defense continues to get shredded on the ground, there are not going to be many chances to stop any offense that is on the other side of the ball. The Steelers also preach winning the time of possession, something that will be extremely difficult to do if running backs are having their respective ways with Pittsburgh's front seven. It would be exciting to see Harmon and Black in action together. It's possible that they could be the future on the defensive line for the Steelers. Benton's regression can't be looked at as positive in any way, so Dulac's words hint at the very possible fact that the franchise is not happy with the University of Wisconsin graduate. Austin and co. won't tolerate a player getting worse, and then performing poorly on top of it. Steelers Won't Last In The AFC North With Poor Rushing Defense All teams within Pittsburgh's division have capable rushing attacks, even the Cleveland Browns now that rookie Quinshon Judkins is in the fold. It is imperative that the defense in the Steel City figures out how to stop the run, as it will lead to more passing attempts and a better chance to get to quarterbacks. It shouldn't come as a shock if Benton is soon watching from the sidelines more so than he is playing on the field.
Bombshell report expands on culture issues within 0-2 Dolphins
A Wednesday report shared that the Miami Dolphins "did a lot of work in the offseason to try to transform their team culture" before they opened the ongoing campaign with back-to-back losses. For a lengthy piece published on Thursday, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN expanded on alleged culture issues that have impacted the Dolphins under head coach Mike McDaniel, who has been in his role since 2022. Mike McDaniel hasn't run a tight ship with Dolphins "Multiple sources in and around the team said tardiness was an issue throughout this past season," Louis-Jacques revealed. "...One current Dolphins player said he believed some captains this past season took advantage of the role. [Cornerback Jalen Ramsey] and wide receiver Tyreek Hill, who were two of the eight players voted captains in 2024, were among repeat offenders who received numerous fines throughout the season. Players were often late to practice and meetings, with multiple team sources suggesting it reflected a lack of respect for the first-time coach McDaniel -- who was hesitant to publicly admonish players outside of posting fines." On Wednesday, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler noted that Dolphins players "believe the culture is better after the franchise moved on from several key players, many of whom did not appear happy there." Specifically, Ramsey and tight end Jonnu Smith were traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers in exchange for safety Minkah Fitzpatrick and a pick swap in June. Safety Jevon Holland left the Dolphins and signed with the New York Giants in free agency. As for Hill, questions about his dedication to the cause arose when he subbed himself out of Miami's regular-season finale and then told reporters that he was "out" this past January. He later publicly apologized for his actions but has remained the subject of trade rumors through September. Are McDaniel and Dolphins general manager Chris Grier on the hot seat? Whispers throughout the offseason suggested Dolphins owner Stephen Ross could part ways with McDaniel and general manager Chris Grier if the club finished this season without at least a playoff appearance. McDaniel has yet to guide the Dolphins to a single postseason win, and his team was coming off an 8-9 campaign before it dropped two straight games this month. "A source familiar with Ross' thinking told ESPN this offseason they don't believe McDaniel's and Grier's job security is as simple as 'playoffs or bust,' and reiterated that sentiment after Week 1," Louis-Jacques wrote. "...Although there is a limit to [Ross'] patience with the team's results. After a winless start to the 2025 season, and prime-time games against division opponents coming, there will be increased outside attention on how far Ross' patience will stretch." As of Thursday morning, ESPN BET had the winless Dolphins as massive 11.5-point road underdogs for Thursday night's game at the 2-0 Buffalo Bills. One can't help but wonder how Ross may react if Miami gets blown out at Buffalo's Highmark Stadium.
Steelers Could Lose Star CB Again
The Pittsburgh Steelers have released their latest injury report ahead of a Week 3 road contest against the New England Patriots. There were few changes on the report from where it stood yesterday, which isn't a good sign for cornerback Joey Porter Jr.'s availability. The 25-year-old did not participate in practice for a second-straight day with a hamstring injury and currently looks poised to miss another game after being inactive against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 2. Porter Jr. sustained his injury late in Pittsburgh's Week 1 win over the New York Jets and was a non-participant throughout practice last week as well. Head coach Mike Tomlin deemed him "questionable" to play during his press conference earlier this week, and while he has yet to officially be ruled out vs. New England, he certainly isn't trending in the right direction at the moment. If Porter Jr. is in fact sidelined for Week 3, Jalen Ramsey and Darius Slay Jr. will likely continue to take every defense snap for the Steelers while Brandin Echols will rotate into the game alongside them. Elsewhere on the report, first-round rookie defensive lineman Derrick Harmon (knee) was a limited participant for the second day in a row and looks to have a real shot to make his regular season debut at Gillette Stadium. Inside linebacker Patrick Queen (oblique) downgraded from a full participant to limited, though it would appear that he's still in strong position to play against the Patriots. Offensive lineman Max Scharping was listed as a non-participant after tearing his ACL in practice yesterday, meaning he'll miss the rest of the campaign. Safety DeShon Elliott (knee) and outside linebacker Alex Highsmith (ankle) both didn't practice as well. The latter was already ruled out vs. New England by Tomlin, though he's likely to avoid a trip to the reserve/injured list after it once looked like he would require one, while the former's game status for Week 3 was considered "questionable" by Tomlin after sitting out against Seattle. Wide receiver DK Metcalf was a non-participant while taking a veteran rest day as T.J. Watt returned to practice after taking a rest day himself.

Green Bay Packers Week 2 Offensive Hero Suffers Knee Injury In Practice
The Green Bay Packers’ promising start to the season has hit another obstacle, as emerging tight end Tucker Kraft suffered a left knee injury during the team’s practice on Thursday. The severity of the injury is still being evaluated, but the news comes as a significant blow to an offense that was just beginning to see Kraft flourish as a key weapon. According to reports from NFL Network insiders Ian Rapoport, Mike Garafolo, and Tom Pelissero, the team is optimistic that the injury is not a long-term issue. Kraft was officially listed as a limited participant on Thursday’s practice report. The injury occurred after Head Coach Matt LaFleur had already addressed the media, so further details from the team will be pending. Green Bay Packers Tucker Kraft: A Setback After a Breakout Performance The timing of the injury is particularly unfortunate, as Kraft is coming off a career-best performance in Week 2. During the Packers’ prime-time victory over the Washington Commanders, the third-year tight end was a focal point of the offense, hauling in six catches for 124 yards and a touchdown. Through two games, Kraft has established himself as the Packers’ leading receiver with eight catches for 140 yards and four touchdowns. His development has been a major bright spot for the offense, and his connection with the quarterback has been evident. This injury is the latest setback for a Green Bay team that is already dealing with the loss of starting wide receiver Jayden Reed, who is expected to miss several weeks with a broken collarbone. Impact on the Packers’ Offense With Kraft’s availability for Sunday’s game against the Cleveland Browns now in question, the Packers may need to adjust their offensive game plan. In his potential absence, the team will lean more heavily on fellow tight end Luke Musgrave. Musgrave has recorded three receptions for 36 yards so far this season and will be expected to take on a larger role in the passing game. The Green Bay Packers’ depth at the position will also be tested. John FitzPatrick and Ben Sims are the other tight ends on the roster, and one or both could see increased playing time depending on the severity of Kraft’s injury and the game plan for Cleveland. The team’s deep receiving corps will also be called upon to step up and fill the void left by one of their most productive players. As the Packers await a full diagnosis, the team and fans will be hoping for positive news. Kraft’s emergence has been a key part of Green Bay’s early success, and his absence, for any length of time, will be a significant challenge to overcome.
