It's no secret that ROSÉ and Bruno Mars have created a global phenomenon — turn on any radio and soon enough, you'll be able to hear the superstar duo's "APT." blaring through the speakers.

The track's worldwide domination (maintaining a solid #1 spot on Billboard's Global Charts for over ten weeks) certainly doesn't stop at breaking world records, including YouTube accolades.

The song's music video reached 800 million viewers just a few days after hitting the 800 million stream count on Spotify, becoming the fastest K-pop music video to do so.

The enormous feat, which the MV was able to achieve in just 81 days, edged out Psy's "Gangnam Style," which previously held the record. The 2012 track achieved the record in 131 days, which at the time, was the biggest song of the year.

If anything, ROSÉ and Bruno Mars' "APT." is only picking up speed, as the music video is on pace to become the fastest K-pop MV to hit a whopping one billion views.

Currently, PSY's "Gangnam Style" holds the YouTube record for the fastest K-pop act to reach one billion views, at 158 days.
