Warner Chappell Music (WCM), the global publishing arm of Warner Music Group and one of the world’s leading music publishing companies, has signed a global administration deal with Rosé. Best known as the lead vocalist of the world-renowned girl group BLACKPINK, Rosé is celebrated as one of history's most influential K-pop artists.
This deal comes during a landmark period for Rosé, who recently collaborated with fellow WCM hitmaker Bruno Mars on the single “APT.” The track achieved historic success, spending four weeks at No. 1 on both the Billboard Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts. It also debuted at No. 1 on both charts, making Rosé the first female K-pop solo artist to accomplish this feat. “APT.” also secured a spot in the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100, making her the first female K-pop soloist to achieve this milestone.
On Friday, Rosé released her newest single, “Number One Girl,” ahead of her highly anticipated debut solo album, ROSIE, set to drop on December 6.
Rosé shared her excitement about the partnership, stating, “I am beyond excited to join the team at Warner Chappell. There is so much more to come that I can't wait to share—it's going to be an amazing journey.”
Ryan Press, President of North America at WCM, praised ROSÉ’s groundbreaking achievements, “Rosé has earned this moment, and it’s a huge honor to officially welcome her to our Warner Chappell family. As she breaks record after record, she’s singlehandedly redefining the K-pop genre while also paving the way for a new era of cross-cultural expression. We’ve already hit the ground running with our partners at Atlantic to support ROSÉ’s bold vision and explore new creative opportunities for her songs. Above all, we can’t wait to see where her music takes us next.”
With the latest administration deal, Rosé will be able to retain creative control and full ownership of her songs and focus on creating music while Warner Chappell Music manages the administrative side of her songwriting catalog.
