Rosé’s Latest Single Debuts In Last Place

Rosé recently released a new single, and while that’s usually cause for celebration and a huge debut on charts globally, the cut hasn’t been promoted (at least not heavily) as her next focus track. The Blackpink superstar still appears to be concentrating on “Apt.,” her Bruno Mars collaboration, which brought her to the highest reaches on rankings around the world in late 2024 and continues to dominate to this day.

The singer doubles up on several important rankings in the United Kingdom this week as her latest offering arrives. But on one tally, it brings the singer to a new career low.

“Messy” Debuts – But Only Barely

“Messy” just barely manages to reach the Official Singles chart, the list of the most consumed songs throughout the U.K., which blends both sales and streaming activity. The tune, which was written and recorded for the soundtrack of the upcoming film F1, opens at No. 100, landing in absolute last place.

A New Low for Rosé on the Official Singles Chart

“Messy” easily stands out as Rosé’s lowest-charting tune on the Official Singles chart. That makes sense, since a track can’t appear any lower and still find space on the roster. That distinction previously belonged to “Number One Girl,” one of the singles taken from her solo album Rosie. That cut peaked at No. 84, where it debuted in late 2024.

Rosé’s Sales Tell a Different Story

“Messy” performs much better when looking at pure purchases. The track launches inside the top 40 on both the Official Singles Downloads and Official Singles Sales charts, entering at Nos. 28 and 29, respectively.

Rosé Scores Another Solo Win

Rosé earns her fifth win on the Official Singles chart, but only narrowly, as “Messy” arrives. She has now collected one more smash – an even half-dozen – on both of the sales tallies.

“Apt.” Outperforms Rosé’s New Single

On all three rankings where “Messy” debuts, “Apt.” outperforms it. The track is still present at No. 26 on the Official Singles chart and appears at No. 13 on both the Official Singles Sales and Official Singles Downloads lists. Amazingly, even after 30 frames on all of those rosters, it continues to perform better than Rosé’s newer tune. That’s likely due not just to continued promotion, but also a general love from the public for the collaboration.
