ROSÉ Hit With 'Bruno Buff' Accusations Amidst Her 'Low'-Charting Solo Songs On MelOn

Rosé's chart performance on MelOn ignited a heated discussion among her fans about her popularity as a solo artist.

In a community thread titled "Rosé's Results Have Been Way Too Low Since APT.", the original poster (OP) uploaded a screenshot from the chart, revealing that Rosé's tracks "toxic till the end" and "number one girl" are performing disappointingly low.

To underscore the post's sentiment, OP suggested that Rosé might have only benefited from the recognition of "APT.," and that it overshadowed the presence of her own fanbase and popularity as a soloist.

It captioned, "She got that Bruno buff, but seeing this, doesn't this mean that her actual fandom and popularity is so-so?"

"Even overseas, people said that she got the Bruno buff," one netizen said.

"It's because she doesn't have Bruno anymore," another argued.

Some argued that getting Bruno Mars for "APT." was a genius move, stating that it helped "hype" people up for her first solo full-length album rosie.

"It was a good idea to have the Bruno collab as her first single to hype up people for her next single and album ultimately," a user stated.

"But it just went downhill after 'APT.' The single after that was a snoozefest, then the album was also a snoozefest, and the album rollout was just a whole mess."

However, some defended the singer, "I'm tired of the daily drag fest of the active third gen groups. They are winning, especially Rosé."

"Doesn't matter. Still the same singer and that speaks volumes," a fan commented.
