ROSÉ and Bruno Mars’ “APT.” tops both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts for a fifth week. The song debuted as the stars’ second leader on each list.
Plus, JIN’s “Running Wild” roars onto both the Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. in the top five and Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” jingles back into the Global 200’s top 10.
The 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.,” released Oct. 18, rules the Global 200 for a fifth week with 132.7 million streams (down 9% week-over-week) and 13,000 sold (down 3%) worldwide Nov. 15-21. The duet debuted with 224.5 million global streams and logged 207.5 million in its second frame, becoming the first title since the chart started to have drawn at least 200 million streams globally in multiple weeks.
“APT.” also now claims five of the top six streaming weeks on the Global 200 among songs released in 2024:
- 224.5 million, “APT.,” ROSÉ & Bruno Mars, Nov. 2
- 207.5 million, “APT.,” Nov. 9
- 176.8 million, “Fortnight,” Taylor Swift feat. Post Malone, May 4
- 162.2 million, “APT.,” Nov. 16
- 146.4 million, “APT.,” Nov. 23
- 132.7 million, “APT.,” Nov. 30
Lady Gaga and Mars’ “Die With a Smile” holds at No. 2 on the Global 200, following eight weeks at No. 1, the most for any song this year. It drew 114 million streams (down 4%) worldwide Nov. 15-21 and has tallied over 100 million streams globally in each of the last 12 weeks, the longest such streak since the chart began.
Billie Eilish’s “Birds of a Feather” repeats at No. 3 on the Global 200, following three weeks at No. 1 beginning in August, and Gracie Abrams’ “That’s So True” holds at its No. 4 high.

JIN adds his second solo top 10 on the chart, following “The Astronaut” (No. 10 peak, 2022). BTS’ other members’ top 10 totals as soloists: Jung Kook (five), Jimin (three), V (two) and Suga (one). BTS boasts 11 top 10s as a group.
Plus, Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” dashes 21-9 on the Global 200, with 44.4 million streams (up 38%) and 3,000 sold (up 35%) worldwide Nov. 15-21.
