Rosé is taking a bold step in her solo career by launching a Grammy campaign for her song APT. and album rosie. Recently, Rosé sent “For Your Consideration” (FYC) boxes to members of the Recording Academy, signaling her intention to be considered for a nomination at the 2026 Grammys. This move highlights her ambition to secure recognition on one of the world’s most prestigious stages.
FYC boxes are a critical part of the Grammy race, helping artists stand out among thousands of annual submissions. Beyond music discs, these packages often include detailed artistic narratives, lyrics, and production notes, serving as a statement of professionalism and intent. For Rosé, this campaign is both a declaration of artistic seriousness and a bid for global acknowledgment beyond the boundaries of K-pop.
The 2026 Grammys will be held in February, with nominations announced on November 7, 2025. If successful, Rosé could follow in the footsteps of BTS, the only K-pop act to have received Grammy nominations so far, though they never won. Her campaign, therefore, is seen as a symbolic step toward paving the way for more Korean artists to break into the Grammy stage.
This ambition comes on the heels of Rosé’s record-breaking September. On September 18, her APT. collaboration with Bruno Mars surpassed 2 billion YouTube views in just 10 months—making it the fastest music video in history to reach that milestone. The achievement arrived days after she won Song of the Year at the 2025 MTV VMAs. Within two weeks, Rosé had twice rewritten K-pop history, reinforcing her global impact as a solo artist.
APT. is now regarded as a rare “mega hit” in the saturated YouTube market. Rosé shattered BLACKPINK’s previous record with DDU-DU DDU-DU, which took five years to hit 2 billion views. The track also dominated Billboard’s Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts, earned her first-ever Perfect All-Kill in Korea, and became the fastest K-pop song to reach 1 billion streams on Spotify in just 100 days. Meanwhile, the music video set new speed records for reaching 1 billion and 1.5 billion views, outpacing even Gangnam Style.
In less than a year, Rosé transformed APT. into a worldwide phenomenon. With such staggering achievements, fans believe she is closer than ever to a Grammy nod. From investing in an FYC campaign to redefining global music records, Rosé is proving that she is not just a K-pop idol, but a full-fledged international pop star. Should her name appear among the Grammy nominees, it will not only mark a milestone in her career but also signal a breakthrough moment for Korean music on the global stage.
