ROSÉ & Bruno Mars’ ‘APT.’ Leases Third Week at No. 1 on Billboard Global Charts
Plus, new top 10s for Gracie Abrams and The Weeknd & Anitta.
ROSÉ and Bruno Mars’ “APT.” inhabits the penthouse for a third week on both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts. Two weeks earlier, the song debuted as each artist’s second leader on each ranking.
Elsewhere, Gracie Abrams earns her first Global 200 top 10 as “That’s So True” soars 21-6 and The Weeknd and Anitta launch at No. 9 on Global Excl. U.S. with “São Paulo.”
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, tops the Global 200 for a third week with 162.2 million streams (down 22% week-over-week) and 14,000 sold (down 21%) worldwide Nov. 1-7. The week before, the duet logged 207.5 million streams, a frame after it debuted with 224.5 million, becoming the first title since the chart started to have logged at least 200 million streams globally in multiple weeks. The song introduces ROSÉ’s solo studio album, rosie, due Dec. 6.
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 119.6 million streams (down 5%) worldwide Nov. 1-7 and has tallied over 100 million streams globally in each of the last 10 weeks – surpassing The Kid LAROI and Justin Bieber’s “Stay” (nine straight triple-digit weeks in August-October 2021) for the longest such streak since the chart began.
The Global 200’s top five is stationary, rounded out by Billie Eilish’s “Birds of a Feather” at No. 3, following three weeks at No. 1 beginning in August; Oscar Maydon and Fuerza Regida’s “Tu Boda” at its No. 4 high; and Sabrina Carpenter’s “Espresso” at No. 5, after three nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1 beginning in June.
Gracie Abrams’ “That’s So True” flies 21-6 in its third week on the Global 200 (it debuted at No. 46 two weeks earlier) with by 44.3 million streams (up 33%) and 3,000 sold (up 99%) worldwide Nov. 1-7 (aided by the Nov. 2 premiere of a live performance video on her official YouTube channel). The singer-songwriter achieves her first top 10 on the chart with the song from the deluxe edition, released Oct. 18, of her album The Secret of Us. She has opened on over three dozen dates of Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour, serving as the sole opener for nine shows since Oct. 18; she is also set to be the only supporting act for the remaining nine dates of the groundbreaking trek between Nov. 14 and Dec. 8.
“APT.” concurrently rules Global Excl. U.S. for a third week, with 145.1 million streams and 10,000 sold (down 22% in each metric) outside the U.S. Nov. 1-7.
As on the Global 200, “Die With a Smile” holds at No. 2 on Global Excl. U.S. following eight weeks at No. 1. Eilish’s “Birds of a Feather” keeps at No. 3, after three weeks at No. 1 beginning in August; Oscar Maydon and Fuerza Regida’s “Tu Boda” repeats at its No. 4 high; and aespa’s “Whiplash” steadies itself at its No. 5 best.
Plus, The Weeknd and Anitta’s “São Paulo” debuts at No. 9 on Global Excl. U.S. with 31.5 million streams outside the U.S. Nov. 1-7, following its Oct. 30 release. The Weeknd adds his 12th top 10 on the chart and Anitta, her third.
