Rosé Beats Two BTS Singles For A New Spot In The History Books
When Rosé released "Apt.," her 2024 collaboration with Bruno Mars, its initial success came thanks to fans rushing to stream the track. That's not an uncommon sight for K-pop superstars, as their massive followings understand how the charts work and focus their energy on pushing a title as high as possible in its first frame. In the months since its debut, "Apt." has remained on the Billboard rankings thanks not only to continued sales and streaming success, but also a very healthy run at radio in the United States. Throughout its lifetime, "Apt." has made history in a number of ways on Billboard's pop radio rankings, and it does so again this week on one of those tallies. As of this frame, "Apt." has lived on the Adult Contemporary chart for 21 weeks. That now stands as an all-time longevity record among K-pop tunes. Last week, Rosé was tied with two tracks by BTS, which had jointly held this honor. Both "Dynamite" and "My Universe," the latter a collaboration with Coldplay, spent 20 frames somewhere on the list of the most successful compositions across all Adult Contemporary radio stations in the U.S. Now, "Apt." has passed both, with the New Zealand-born South Korean music industry superstar surging forward. Rosé now owns this bit of history, and she may continue to further her lead over the two BTS smashes. Her track climbs two spaces to No. 24 on the current edition of the Adult Contemporary chart. There's a good chance it will live on this ranking for several more frames, if not another month or so. Coincidentally, "Apt.," "My Universe," and "Dynamite" are also tied as the highest-rising singles ever by a K-pop artist on the Adult Contemporary chart. All three of them stalled at No. 16 at one point or another across the half-decade since "Dynamite" debuted.

Rosé Beats Jimin's All-Time Record With Her Biggest Solo Smash
Rosé's 'Apt.' with Bruno Mars becomes the longest-charting song by a K-pop act on the Hot 100, ... More hitting 34 weeks on the list and passing Jimin's previous record. BEVERLY HILLS, CALIFORNIA - MARCH 10: Rosé attends the 2024 Vanity Fair Oscar Party Hosted By Radhika Jones at Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts on March 10, 2024 in Beverly Hills, California. (Photo by) For many years, when it came to K-pop artists scoring huge hit singles in America, it was almost entirely groups that landed the biggest wins. Acts like BTS, Blackpink, Fifty Fifty, and others saw their tracks live on the Hot 100 for historically-long periods. But lately, it's soloists from some of those same outfits who have stolen the show. This week, a new record is established on Billboard's ranking of the most consumed songs in America, as one solo superstar bests another. Rosé's smash "Apt." now holds the distinction of being the longest-charting track by any K-pop artist in the history of the Hot 100. The Blackpink singer is originally from New Zealand, but she is best-known for her work in the K-pop space, including 'Apt.,' which is performed in both English and Korean. The tune, a collaboration with Bruno Mars — whose presence surely helped the cut not only become a high-rising win but also a sturdy one — has now spent 34 weeks on the competitive tally. As it reaches that landmark figure, Rosé breaks her tie with Jimin, whose solo single "Who" managed 33 turns on the same list. That stood as the all-time record for only a few months, after Jimin beat the previously-set high point established by BTS's own "Dynamite" by one frame. "Apt." holds at No. 24 on the Hot 100 this week in its thirty-fourth frame. Over the course of its run, it has climbed as high as No. 3, making history with that lofty peak position. Its current placement suggests that the smash will continue to find space on the Hot 100 for several more weeks. The collaboration could live on the list for another month or two, as it's still performing well across a variety of important metrics. 'Apt.' remains inside the top 10 on the Adult Pop Airplay chart and is living at No. 24 on both the Adult Contemporary and Radio Songs lists. It is still present inside the top 20 on the Digital Song Sales tally and just narrowly falls outside the top 40 on the Streaming Songs chart. The Hot 100 is compiled each week using streaming, sales, and radio data to show what tracks America is consuming. The fact that "Apt." is still present on all three of those individual consumption tallies shows just how popular it still is, and may lead to months more on the main songs ranking.

Anthony Gismondi: Rosé on the rise signals a massive market shift
Years ago, I was tasting a dark, disappointing Rosé made with Tannat and several other robust red grapes. Since the producer specializes in Tannat and Albariño, I suggested he might consider something more aligned with their brand. I then grabbed a full glass of Tannat and emptied all but an ounce of dark red juice in the glass. Then I took a glass of Albariño and added most of it to the Tannat until the colour morphed to classic onion skin. After a few swirls, it was a fresh, fruity, aromatic, food-friendly Rosé with a translucent pink hue. In terms of quality, it aligned with the winery's long-term goals of producing world-class Tannat and Albariño and a Rosé that was totally on brand. In the end, the experiment remained just that. Still, it exemplified the recipe for Rosé can be wide and why wineries should periodically reassess their business objectives to ensure they capitalize on trends and offer wine styles that resonate with customers.

Canadian Rosé sales doubled year-over-year in 2014, and the category has been on a steady rise ever since. Rarely have we seen such a significant shift in consumer preferences in a traditionally conservative industry. In 2022, the global market was valued at US$3.1 billion and is projected to reach 4.6 billion by 2030, with a compound annual growth rate of 5.3 per cent. The rush to Rosé hasn't let up much in the years since. One could say that the Rosé revolution has been instrumental in fuelling the growing interest in white wines, as consumers who prefer lighter, fresher wines scan the wine landscape for similar-style options. But what is Rosé? Is it merely a colour or a style, or is it a taste? Most would say it is all these aspects that attract drinkers, and this is why there are so many different Rosés on offer in the marketplace. It is challenging to suggest one style over another, but for this writer, an ashen colour with a dry or slightly off-dry flavour and bright acidity is increasingly preferred. There is talk that Rosés have become too pale, but there are still plenty of deeper shades to choose from. But don't make the mistake of thinking little or no colour means little taste. If Rosé has a drawback: it's not announcing how much residual sugar, if any, is in the bottle. I'm thinking of the very successful IRF, the International Riesling Foundation scale, which is found globally on many Riesling producers' labels, tracking from dry to sweet versions. I'm sure wine consumers would welcome it on the back of a Rosé label. Before the big freeze, B.C. Rosé was coming on strong, and the quality evolution was even more appealing, with many wineries finally farming for Rosé and taking the time to make a wine worth the money they are asking for your favourite pink. Many of those grapes have disappeared monetarily, but most will return. Meanwhile, in my tastings of all the replacement wines from Washington, Oregon, and California, the most interesting category so far is the Rosés — a sure sign the quality of winemaking is on the rise across B.C. wine country. Look for our latest Rosé recommendations from several origins in today's weekend picks to get you started on your pink hunt for the summer. Famille Perrin Ventoux Rosé 2023, Ventoux, Southern Rhone Valley, France $16 | 88/100 UPC: 631470007413 The Perrin Ventoux Rosé comes with an almost colourless hue of pinkish-orange that draws you to the glass. The palate is as light as the colour, with a hint of red fruit, a dash of blood orange, and bright acidity. It reflects their winemaking focus on finesse, producing elegant, fruity, and low-alcohol wines. The vines sit on the slopes of Mont Ventoux, where the air is fresher and much cooler than below on the plain. The blend is Cinsault, Grenache, and Syrah. Attractive pricing. Borsao Rosé Seleccion 2023, Campo de Borja, Aragon, Spain $19 I 89/100 UPC: 8412423120739 Borsao is always about value; in fact, Robert Parker used to claim it was one of the best value wineries in Spain for years. This 100 per cent Garnacha Rosé is sourced from vineyards aged 10 to 25 years, situated on clay-limestone and stony loamy soils. The result is an appealing translucent, orange colour with fruity notes and a palate of strawberry and refreshing acidity. Ready to drink all summer at a great price. Crossroads Collection Rosé 2024, Washington $25 I 88/100 UPC: 696852202268 Naramata-based Three Sisters hit the nail on the head with this tasty little Rosé from a single vineyard in Washington's White Bluffs AVA. It is 100 per cent Syrah with a hint of residual sugar, which gives it a smooth, sweet entry with plenty of strawberry and orange fruit aromas and flavours and a million-dollar shade of orange. Juicy, bright, and ready for a patio party. Try this with spicy tacos or a spicy sushi tuna roll for a match. I would love to see a B.C. version of this with higher acidity. Roche Artist Series Rosé 2024, Dundee Hills, Willamette Valley, Oregon $29 I 90/100 UPC: 724901648924 The '24 Rosé comes from Dundee, Oregon, and is made from Pinot Noir, a departure from the typical Roche offering based on Zweigelt. It should come as no surprise that the styling is French, from its understated nose to its cherry-berry, savoury palate that finishes balanced and dry. This pink will match many things, but it is also built for the dinner table, with enough intensity and flavour to pair with turkey or salmon. As part of Roche's Artist Series, the labels were created in collaboration with Canadian artist Andrea Soos. Solvero Rosé 2024, Garnet Valley, Summerland Bench, Okanagan Valley $25 I 91/100 UPC: 627987248432 In 2024, after the big freeze damaged winemaker Allison Moyes's vines, she travelled to Oregon to make her Rosé. The pale salmon-pink wine has fragrant Rosé petals and crancherry aromas with a hint of pepper. Its dry profile and perfect acidity make it ideal for summer and various dishes. Moyes selected an exceptional vineyard block in the Chehalem Mountains AVA, farmed to her specifications. She supervised the harvest and pressing. The juice was chilled to 4 C, transported back to Garnet Valley, and cool-fermented in 75 per cent stainless steel and 25 per cent neutral barrels before being blended and bottled in mid-February. Delicious. Township 7 Winery welcomes back Bard in the Valley featuring Shakespeare's Merry Wives of Windsor, 'a most pleasant and excellent conceited comedy of Sir John Falstaff, and the Merry Wives of Windsor intermixed with the sundry variable and pleasing humours of Sir Hugh the Welsh knight, Justice Shallow and his wise Cousin M. Slender with the swaggering vaine of ancient Pistoll, and corporal Nym.' The shows run June 26-29 and July 3-6 at varying times. Tickets are $25 at . Wine and chips extra. The Dîner en Blanc concept originated in Paris in 1988, when François Pasquier invited a group of friends to an elegant outdoor dinner at the Bois de Boulogne, asking them to dress in white so they could easily find each other. Unlike the original Roche Vineyard and its friends, Code Wines will be providing the food and the wine with the help of Cocktails & Canapes. You are invited to dressed in your finest white attire and be ready to sip wine, play lawn games and enjoy what should be a night to remember. Tickets are $170 and include all taxes and gratuity. Book your seat at . Clos du Soleil Rosé 2023, Kaleden, Okanagan Valley $28.90 I 89/100 UPC: 857088000763 This Pinot Noir Rosé, sourced from a vineyard in the Kaleden region of the Okanagan Valley, boasts a bright, pale gold colour. It has a juicy, fruit-driven entry with notes of strawberries, plums, and grapefruit combined with acidity to create balance and style. It pairs well with food, such as salmon sashimi, which complements its acidity and freshness. Ready to drink. Bartier Bros. Pristine Rosé 2024, Wahluke Slope, Columbia Valley, Washington $17.99 I 88/100 UPC: 628055147701 Pristine is the word Bartier Bros chose to describe its Made in B.C. wines from foreign ingredients or, as my colleague Treve Ring describes, CIBC wines, or Crafted in B.C. Either way, Bartier has exploited Washington's Wahluke Slope AVA, blending 94/3/2/1 Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Riesling. Almost colourless, this barely pink wine presents soft red berries on a silky smooth palate, with a hint of spice and orchard fruits. Classic Bartier: reserved, ready to drink, and food-friendly. We love the price.
