Artist Rosé crowned a two-time winner at iHeartRadio.
On the 26th (local time), at the 2026 iHeartRadio Music Awards held in Los Angeles, Rosé won two categories — best collaboration and K-pop artist of the year — for her duet with Bruno Mars, APT.

Rosé added another trophy to APT.'s seemingly endless winning streak.
APT., Rosé's duet with Bruno Mars released in October 2024, shattered various records on global music charts. It won song of the year at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards, becoming the first K-pop artist to win that top prize among the four major U.S. popular music awards, and it was the first K-pop nomination for song of the year and record of the year at the Grammy Awards, the highest authority in American popular music.
She also became the first and only K-pop artist to be nominated in both group and solo categories at the British BRIT Awards, and she added the honor of winning, further extending K-pop's record. With this, Rosé achieved recognition at all the most prestigious awards in the English-speaking world.
Rosé's first full-length album rosie, released in December of the same year, also sparked a heated response upon release. rosie attracted attention for Rosé's participation in songwriting and composing across all tracks, debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 main album chart, and then ranked on the Billboard 200 chart for 27 consecutive weeks, setting the record for highest and longest-charting K-pop female artist. Rosé not only put her sincere personal stories into self-written songs but also expanded her musical spectrum by including songs of various genres on her first full-length album.
