ROSÉ and Bruno Mars’ “APT.” moves in at No. 1 on both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts.
BLACKPINK member ROSÉ achieves her second No. 1 as a soloist on each chart, after “On the Ground” likewise led in its debut week in March 2021. As a group, BLACKPINK boasts two leaders on the Global 200 and three on Global Excl. U.S. She is the first member of the quartet with multiple No. 1s on the charts; the act’s Jennie and LISA have notched one Global Excl. U.S. No. 1 each.
Mars, meanwhile, dethrones his first No. 1 on both surveys: “Die With a Smile,” with Lady Gaga, dips to No. 2 on each chart. He’s both the first act to replace himself at No. 1 and take the top two spots simultaneously on each list since Sabrina Carpenter earlier this year with “Espresso” and follow-up “Please Please Please.”
Elsewhere, Oscar Maydon and Fuerza Regida’s “Tu Boda” bounds to the top 10 of both the Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S.; Morgan Wallen’s “Love Somebody” launches at No. 8 on the Global 200; and One Direction’s “Night Changes” hits the Global Excl. U.S. top 10 following the passing of the group’s Liam Payne.
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.
Released Oct. 18, “APT.” arrives atop the Global 200 with a staggering 224.5 million streams, as well as 29,000 sold, worldwide through Oct. 24. The song claims the second-biggest streaming week since the Global 200 began.
Here’s a look at all five weeks in which songs topped 200 million streams worldwide (with one belonging to BLACKPINK):
