How many zeroes are there in one billion? So many that only a small percentage of the population uses this word. Reaching a point where you can use this word for yourself is an achievement. And because of their song "APT.", Rose and Bruno Mars are among the few lucky people who can attach this achievement to themselves.

How? Do you remember their song "APT."? If you have kids, then you surely know the song. It has crossed 1 billion views on YouTube. This was meant to happen since the song's catchy vibe, infectious melody, and killer dance moves could make an old grandma groove. The song is everywhere: in the mall, at the club, and at the beach, so it is bound to get you one day.

Thanks to TikTok and an army of dedicated fans, "APT." achieved this feat within three months of its release. People groove to the song everywhere, bobbing their heads and humming "AAPITI PITI." The song's infectious vibe has reached every corner of the world, putting Bruno Mars on new heights and giving Rose the perfect international solo debut.

The song targeted cool adults who wore sunglasses, but surprisingly, its real audience has been ultra-cool little kids who wear diapers. And since little kids have the zen power to listen to one song 600 million times, then "APT." hitting one billion views seems doable.
