Rosé’s chart performance on MelOn sparked a heated discussion among her fans about her popularity as a solo artist.
In a community thread titled “Rosé’s results were too low by the APT.”, the original poster (OP) uploaded a screenshot from the chart, revealing that Rosé’s tracks “Toxic to the End” and “Number One girl” are behaving disappointingly Low.
To underline the sentiment expressed by the post, OP suggested that Rosé could have benefited from just recognizing “APT.” and that this has overshadowed his fan base and popularity as a solo artist.
The caption read, “He got that Bruno buff, but seeing this, doesn’t that mean his true fandom and popularity is so-so?”
“Even abroad, people say he has Bruno’s buff,” one netizen said.
“It’s because she doesn’t have Bruno anymore,” another argued.
Some argued that taking Bruno Mars for “APT”. it was a genius move, claiming it helped “hype” people for his first solo album Rosie.
“It was a good idea to have the collaboration with Bruno as the first single to get people excited for his next single and album,” one user said.
“But things got worse after ‘APT’. The next single was a snoozefest, then the album was a snoozefest too, and the album launch was just a total disaster.”
However, someone defended the singer: “I’m tired of the daily drag fest of the active third generation groups. They’re winning, especially Rosé.”
“It doesn’t matter. Still the same singer and that says a lot,” one fan commented.
