Rosé was nominated in three categories at the Grammy Awards.
The final nominees for the 68th Grammy Awards, to be held Feb. 2026 at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, were announced, and Rosé's "APT." was named in the song of the year, record of the year and best pop duo/group performance categories.
At the Grammy Awards, the premier honor in American popular music, it is the first time a K-pop song has been nominated in song of the year and record of the year, which are classified as the general fields. Also, it is the first time a K-pop female artist has been nominated, adding another milestone to K-pop history for Rosé.
Rosé set records on global music charts with the duet "APT." with Bruno Mars, released last Oct. She also led national prestige by becoming the first K-pop artist to win song of the year, the top prize, at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards, one of America's four major popular music award shows.
Rosé's first full-length album, rosie, released in Dec. of the same year, also drew a fierce response upon release. Rosie drew attention for Rosé's participation in writing and composing every track, debuting at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and then ranking on the Billboard 200 for 27 consecutive weeks, setting the highest and longest records for a K-pop female artist. Rosé not only put her honest stories into her original songs but also expanded her musical spectrum by including songs of diverse genres on her first full-length album.
Meanwhile, final voting for each Grammy Awards category will be held from Dec. 12 through Jan. 5. Attention is focused on whether Rosé's "APT." will go from nomination to winning the honor.
