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.
“Die With a Smile” continues atop the Global 200 with 95.1 million streams (down 1% week-over-week) and 6,000 sold (essentially even) worldwide March 28-April 3. At 15 weeks, the song ties for the second-longest No. 1 run since the chart began:
- 19 weeks at No. 1, “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” Mariah Carey (2020-25)
- 15 weeks, “Die With a Smile,” Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars (2024-25)
- 15 weeks, “As It Was,” Harry Styles (2022)
- 14 weeks, “Flowers,” Miley Cyrus (2023)
- 12 weeks, “APT.,” ROSÉ & Bruno Mars (2024-25)
- 11 weeks, “Stay,” The Kid LAROI & Justin Bieber (2021)
“APT.” holds at No. 2 on the Global 200; Alex Warren’s first top 10 on the chart, “Ordinary,” climbs 5-3 for a new high; Doechii’s “Anxiety” dips to No. 4 from its No. 3 best; and Billie Eilish’s “Birds of a Feather” rises 6-5 following three weeks at No. 1 last August.
Ariana Grande’s “Twilight Zone” journeys into a wondrous land known as the Global 200’s top 10 – signpost up ahead: No. 7. It starts with 43.2 million streams and 6,000 sold worldwide. Her seventh top 10 on the survey was newly released on the Brighter Days Ahead reissue of her 2024 album Eternal Sunshine, which blasts back to No. 1 on the U.S.-based Billboard 200.
