What Does ROSÉ’s No. 3 Debut With ‘Rosie’ Mean for Her Solo Stardom?


This week's Five Burning Questions looks at ROSÉ's No. 3 debut for her 'Rosie' album on this week's Billboard 200.

Kyle Denis: I have my eye on “Toxic Till the End”; it’s got some cool Eternal Sunshine- esque synths and Guts-nodding guitars that keep it in line with top 40’s general sound while offering a specific combination of elements that feels, at least partially, unique to ROSÉ right now. “Toxic” placed high on Spotify’s New Music Friday playlist when Rosie was released, but couldn’t cut through the holiday deluge on the Hot 100; we’ll see if it has a chance to make noise in 2025, but my fingers are crossed. I’m looking forward to seeing ROSÉ lighting up the award show circuit in early 2025, hopefully with a variety of different approaches to different songs that really demonstrates the full extent of what she’s capable of as a pop star and convinces anyone watching that she belongs as a fixture on those stages.
