ROSÉ

ROSÉ's place in this edition rests on the measurable force of her solo work, not on BLACKPINK's reputation by association. The Korean-New Zealand singer, born Roseanne Park and also known as Park Chae-young, had already established an individual recording identity before the assessment window. Her album rosie arrived in December 2024 and the Bruno Mars collaboration APT. in October 2024, so neither is inaccurately presented here as a new 2025 release.

Their completed consequence in 2025 was nevertheless exceptional. APT. was certified as the year's biggest-selling global single, with 2.06 billion subscription-stream equivalents, and led a major global year-end song chart. ROSÉ is a credited co-writer and co-performer. That makes the result relevant to authorship and audience impact while preserving the work of Mars, the other writers, producers and campaign teams. Her unmistakable vocal presence is one component of a collaboration, not a claim to sole creation.

ROSÉ also completed fresh repertoire during the period. Messy appeared on the F1 soundtrack in May 2025, and On My Mind with Alex Warren extended her collaborative solo catalogue later that year. These releases show an active practice beyond the carry-over success of APT. She continued as a BLACKPINK member while operating through a distinct solo label arrangement, repertoire and public identity. That structure is significant because it makes the individual career legible without denying the platform created by the group. At 28 on the eligibility date, ROSÉ had converted group-era reach into a solo catalogue with its own credited writing, collaborators and international audience. FigureAsia recognises the rare cross-market scale of that achievement while keeping chronology and attribution exact.
