Tate McRae’s “Housewife” adds a third week at No. 1 on both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S., two weeks after it debuted at the summit of both surveys.
The song remains the biggest hit in the world with 48.8 million streams (down 24%) and 2,000 sold (down 38%) globally Oct. 30-Nov. 5, according to Luminate. It totaled 37.2 million streams (down 22%) outside the U.S.
Karol G, Judeline and rusowsky’s “BbY WOW” keeps at No. 2 after six weeks atop the Global 200 since September and ADÉLA’s “Nicole Kidman” is steady at No. 3, one spot off its peak.
Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” bounds 22-4 for a new Global 200 high (surpassing its prior No. 18 best, reached a year ago this week), up 78% to 33.2 million streams and 53% to 6,000 sold worldwide in the tracking week that included Halloween. The late King of Pop posts his third top 10 on the chart, all achieved this year — “Billie Jean” led for a week and “Beat It” hit No. 5, both in May, boosted by buzz for the record-setting biopic Michael. All three songs are from Jackson’s landmark 1983 album, Thriller.
Rounding out the Global 200’s top five, Ashe’s “Stop the Wedding!” holds at its No. 5 high.
Elsewhere in the Global Excl. U.S. top five, “BbY WOW” repeats at No. 2, likewise after six weeks at No. 1 since September; “Nicole Kidman” is again No. 3, after reaching No. 2; “Stop the Wedding!” marches 7-4 for its first week in the region; and ADÉLA’s “Ain’t in LA” lifts 6-5, after hitting No. 4.
The Billboard Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts 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.
The latest charts, dated Nov. 14, 2026, will update on Billboard.com tomorrow, Nov. 10. For both tallies, the top 100 titles are available to all readers on Billboard.com, while the complete 200-title rankings are visible on Billboard Pro, Billboard’s subscription-based service. For all chart news, you can follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram.
Luminate, the independent data provider to the Billboard charts, completes a thorough review of all data submissions used in compiling the weekly chart rankings. Luminate reviews and authenticates data. In partnership with Billboard, data deemed suspicious or unverifiable is removed, using established criteria, before final chart calculations are made and published.
