It is the first time the chart-topping song has featured a non-European or North American singer, with the 29-year-old New Zealand-born BlackPink member, whose real name is Roseanne Park, and it is also the first time the top track has featured non-English lyrics.<\/p>\n

Mars, 40, whose real name is Peter Hernandez, previously topped the chart in 2011 for his solo single Just The Way You Are.<\/p>\n

APT was closely followed by Golden by HUNTR\/X in second place, which is one of two singles on the chart from the Netflix animated film KPop Demon Hunters.<\/p>\n

Alex Warren\u2019s Ordinary is in third place, Mars\u2019s collaboration with Lady Gaga, Die With A Smile, is in fourth, and Benson Boone\u2019s Beautiful Things is fifth.<\/p>\n

It is the first time all of 2024\u2019s top five singles remained in the chart for 2025.<\/p>\n

The top 10 concluded with Billie Eilish\u2019s Wildflower (six), which won song of the year at the Grammy Awards, Teddy Swims\u2019s Lose Control (seven), Kendrick Lamar and SZA\u2019s Luther (eight), which won the record of the year Grammy, Gracie Abrams\u2019s That\u2019s So True (nine), and Lamar\u2019s Drake diss track Not Like Us (10).<\/p>\n

Victoria Oakley, chief executive of the IFPI, said: \u201cRose and Bruno Mars topping the IFPI global single chart with APT is a landmark moment, not least as it\u2019s the first time a winning single has featured non-English lyrics.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis year\u2019s results also underline the global reach of today\u2019s music market, with songs connecting across languages and borders.\u201d<\/p>\n

APT was nominated for three gongs at the 2026 Grammy Awards in best pop duo\/group performance, song of the year and record of the year, but was snubbed during the awards ceremony in Los Angeles, which they opened with a performance of the song.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
