ROSÉ and Bruno Mars’ “APT.” adds a record-extending 19th week at No. 1 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart. The collaboration first moved into the top floor in November.
Meanwhile, Lady Gaga and Mars’ “Die With a Smile” secures a 14th week atop the Billboard Global 200 chart, dating to its first frame at No. 1 last September.
Plus, Alex Warren’s viral hit “Ordinary” reaches the top 10 of both global charts, marking his first appearance in each list’s top tier, and j-hope’s “Mona Lisa” debuts in the Global Excl. U.S. top 10, becoming the BTS member’s first solo top 10.
The Billboard Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts, which began in September 2020, rank songs based on streaming and sales activity culled from more than 200 territories around the world, as compiled by Luminate. The Global 200 is inclusive of worldwide data and the Global Excl. U.S. chart comprises data from territories excluding the United States.
Chart ranks 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.
“APT.” holds atop Global Excl. U.S. with 71.2 million streams (down 6% week-over-week) and 5,000 sold (down 14%) outside the U.S. March 21-27.
“Die With a Smile” keeps at No. 2 after 11 weeks atop Global Excl. U.S. beginning last September; JENNIE’s “like JENNIE” rebounds a spot to its No. 3 best; Doechii’s “Anxiety” dips to No. 4 from its No. 3 high; and Billie Eilish’s “Birds of a Feather” maintains its No. 5 altitude, following three weeks on top in August.
Alex Warren ascends to his first Global Excl. U.S. top 10 as “Ordinary” bounds 15-6 with 32.6 million streams (up 26%) and 4,000 sold (up 42%) outside the U.S. The California singer-songwriter’s viral hit, which he performed earlier in March on Netflix’s Love Is Blind, is one of two songs of his scaling the chart, as “Carry You Home” enters the tally’s top half (122-84). “Ordinary” has also spent two weeks and counting atop the Official UK Singles chart.
Plus j-hope’s “Mona Lisa” begins at No. 9 on Global Excl. U.S., becoming his first solo top 10. Released March 21, the song drew 30.5 million streams and sold 18,000 outside the U.S. in its first week.
Here’s an updated count of BTS members’ Global Excl. U.S. top 10 totals as soloists: Jung Kook (seven), Jimin (five), V (four), JIN (three) and j-hope and Suga (one each). BTS boasts 11 top 10s as a group.
“Die With a Smile” continues atop the Global 200 with 96.3 million streams (down 6%) and 6,000 sold (down 15%) worldwide. At 14 weeks, the song breaks out of a tie with Miley Cyrus’ “Flowers” for the third-longest No. 1 run since the chart began. The only hits to lead longer: Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” (19 weeks) and Harry Styles’ “As It Was” (15).
“APT.” holds at No. 2 on the Global 200, following 12 weeks at No. 1 starting in November; Doechii’s “Anxiety” repeats at its No. 3 best; and Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s “Luther” rises 5-4, after reaching No. 3.
Plus, Warren’s “Ordinary” surges 12-5 for its first week in the Global 200’s top 10, with 48.1 million streams (up 25%) and 7,000 sold (up 17%) worldwide. Concurrently, he hits a new high with “Carry You Home” (134-87), while his “Burning Down” pushes 189-154.
