‘Rosé Number One Girl’ Trends as BLACKPINK Star’s F1 OST ‘Messy’ Breaks iTunes Records

BLACKPINK’s Rosé is back in the spotlight as a solo artist with her emotional new track, Messy, and she's already breaking records. The song was released globally on May 9, 2025, as part of the Formula 1 movie soundtrack, and it's already making waves on the music charts.

Just hours after its release, Messy by Rosé debuted at No. 54 on the U.S. iTunes chart. This achievement makes it the highest-ranking original soundtrack by a female K-pop soloist in iTunes history. Even more exciting? There was no major promotion for the track—no teaser, no press tour—yet it shot up the charts based solely on Rosé’s powerful vocals and her loyal global fanbase.

Rosé Hits No. 2 on Worldwide iTunes With ‘Messy’

The song also ranked No. 2 on the Worldwide iTunes Chart, marking the biggest debut for a female K-pop soloist globally. Fans were quick to notice how this record beats Jennie’s collaboration with The Weeknd, which peaked at No. 140 with One of the Girls.

Lisa also had her moment with Priceless, sharing the same No. 2 rank, and her other song Born Again debuted at No. 3. Meanwhile, Jennie followed with Love Hangover at No. 4. Still, it’s Rosé’s ‘Messy’ that’s getting the most buzz right now.

What makes Rosé’s Messy stand out is that it was written by Rosé herself. The song has a soft pop-rock sound with orchestral touches, giving it a sad but beautiful feeling. It talks about the confusion and emotion of going through tough times, something many listeners can relate to. The music video shows Rosé walking alone through Las Vegas at night, wearing shiny outfits. Instead of fast racing visuals, the video is calm and artistic—just like the song.

Rosé Becomes the Only K-pop Artist on Formula 1 Soundtrack

The Formula 1 movie OST, which is set to release on June 27, includes many big names in music. But Rosé is the only K-pop artist on the entire album. This proves how far she’s come and how big K-pop’s influence in Hollywood and global pop culture has become. Her presence on this project is a big step for Korean artists breaking into major film soundtracks.

Since the song dropped, social media has been full of fans calling Rosé the "queen of K-pop" and demanding a live version or acoustic performance of Messy. Tags like “Rosé supremacy” and “Rosé number one girl” are trending online. Her fans—called Blinks—are celebrating her for growing as an artist and creating something that feels honest and beautiful.

Rosé’s Messy Marks a New Chapter in Her Solo Career

More than just a soundtrack song, Messy is a big moment for Rosé’s solo career. It shows her deep emotions, her strong voice, and her ability to tell her story through music. This track proves that she’s not just a member of BLACKPINK—she’s also a powerful artist standing tall in the global music scene.

As we wait for the full Formula 1 movie soundtrack, one thing is clear: Rosé’s Messy isn’t just a song—it’s a statement.
