Lil Nas X’s “Montero (Call Me by Your Name)” is the biggest song in the world, as it rebounds from No. 2 to No. 1 for its fourth week atop the Billboard Global 200 chart and scores its second week atop the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. survey.
Plus, Billie Eilish’s “Your Power” debuts in the top 10 of both global charts; The Kid LAROI and Miley Cyrus’ “Without You” zooms 30-10 on the Global 200 following the release of its remix with Cyrus; and Sebastián Yatra and Myke Towers’ “Pareja del Año” reaches the Global Excl. U.S. top 10, bounding 17-9.
Billboard’s two global charts (the latest of which are dated May 15) began last September and rank songs based on streaming and sales activity culled from more than 200 territories around the world, as compiled by MRC Data. The Billboard Global 200 is inclusive of worldwide data and the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart comprises data from territories excluding the U.S.
Chart rankings are based on a weighted formula incorporating official-only streams on both subscription and ad-supported tiers of audio and video music services, as well as download sales, the latter of which reflect purchases from full-service digital music retailers from around the world, with sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites excluded from the charts’ calculations.
‘Montero’ Back to No. 1 on Global 200
Lil Nas X’s “Montero (Call Me by Your Name)” lifts 2-1 for its fourth total week atop the Billboard Global 200 with 84.2 million streams (down 14%) and 5,900 sold (down 29%) worldwide in the April 30-May 6 tracking week.
Justin Bieber’s “Peaches,” featuring Daniel Caesar and Giveon, rises 3-2 on the Global 200 following its two-week reign; The Weeknd and Ariana Grande’s “Save Your Tears” drops to No. 3 after topping the chart a week earlier, following the April 23 release of its remix with Grande; Dua Lipa’s “Levitating,” featuring DaBaby, holds at its No. 4 high; and Doja Cat’s “Kiss Me More,” featuring SZA, repeats at its No. 5 best.
Elsewhere in the Global 200’s top 10, Billie Eilish’s “Your Power” debuts on the chart at No. 6 with 64.2 million streams and 8,200 sold worldwide in the April 30-May 6 tracking week, following its April 29 release. Eilish adds her second top 10 since the list launched, after “Therefore I Am” debuted and peaked at No. 2 in November. Both songs are from her album Happier Than Ever, due July 30.
Plus, The Kid LAROI and Miley Cyrus’ “Without You” blasts 30-10 on the Global 200. Following the April 30 release of its remix with Cyrus, the song surges with 36.9 million streams (up 85%) and 11,900 sold (up 155%) globally in the week ending May 6. The Kid LAROI, from Australia, and Cyrus (credited on the chart on “Without You” for the first time, as the remix accounted for the majority of the title’s overall activity in the tracking week) each make their first appearance in the top 10.
‘Montero’ Also No. 1 Outside U.S.
Lil Nas X’s “Montero (Call Me by Your Name)” adds its second week at No. 1 on the Global Excl. U.S. chart, with 62.2 million streams (down 13%) and 3,000 sold (down 9%) in territories outside the U.S. in the April 30-May 6 tracking week.
Justin Bieber’s “Peaches,” featuring Daniel Caesar and Giveon, rebounds 3-2 after five weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart; The Weeknd and Ariana Grande’s “Save Your Tears” slips to No. 3 from its No. 2 high; and Dua Lipa’s “Levitating,” featuring DaBaby, lifts 5-4 after reaching No. 3.

Additionally in the Global Excl. U.S. top 10, Sebastián Yatra and Myke Towers’ “Pareja del Año” reaches the region, jumping 17-9 (42.7 million streams, up 27%). The former, from Colombia, achieves his first Global Excl.
