ROSÉ and Bruno Mars’ “APT.” leases the penthouse for a record-extending 16th week at No. 1 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart. The collaboration first led the list in November.
Meanwhile, Lady Gaga and Mars’ “Die With a Smile” scores a milestone 10th week atop the Billboard Global 200 chart, dating to its first frame at No. 1 last September.
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.” rebounds 2-1 on Global Excl. U.S. with 88.8 million streams and 8,000 sold (down 5% in each metric week-over-week) outside the U.S. Feb. 21-27.
“Die With a Smile” dips to No. 2 after 10 weeks atop Global Excl. U.S.; Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” is steady at its No. 3 best; Lamar and SZA’s “Luther” holds at its No. 4 high; and Billie Eilish’s “Birds of a Feather” remains at No. 5, after three weeks on top last August.
“Die With a Smile” rises 2-1 on the Global 200 with 119.3 million streams (down 7%) and 8,000 (down 13%) worldwide. The song becomes the sixth to have logged at least 10 weeks atop the chart; Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” leads with 19 weeks at No. 1 dating to its first in December 2020.
“APT.” ascends 4-2 following 12 weeks atop the Global 200 beginning in October; “Luther” repeats at its No. 3 high; “Not Like Us” falls to No. 4 following four weeks at No. 1 beginning last May; and “Birds of a Feather” keeps at No. 5 after three weeks at No. 1 last August.
