ROSÉ & Bruno Mars’ ‘APT.’ Tops Billboard Global Charts for 11th Week

ROSÉ and Bruno Mars’ “APT.” leads the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts for an 11th week each. In November, the song debuted as the stars’ second leader on each list.

Plus, Lola Young’s first top 10 on the charts, “Messy,” becomes her first top five hit, climbing 8-5 on each ranking, and Bad Bunny debuts three top 10s from his new album, DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS. The set launches at No. 2 on the U.S.-based Billboard 200.

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.” leads the Global 200 with 138 million streams (down 5% week-over-week) and 17,000 sold (down 9%) worldwide Jan. 3-9. The track ties The Kid LAROI and Justin Bieber’s “Stay” (11 weeks at No. 1 in 2021) for the chart’s fourth-longest command, after Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” (19 weeks, since December 2020), Harry Styles’ “As It Was” (15 weeks, 2022) and Miley Cyrus’ “Flowers” (13 weeks, 2023).

Lady Gaga and Mars’ “Die With a Smile” holds at No. 2 on the Global 200, following eight weeks at No. 1 beginning in September. The ballad drew 131.7 million streams (up 1%) worldwide in the latest tracking frame and has tallied over 100 million streams globally in each of the last 19 weeks, the longest such streak since the chart began.

Billie Eilish’s “Birds of a Feather” is steady at No. 4 on the Global 200, after three weeks at No. 1 beginning in August, and Gracie Abrams’ “That’s So True” repeats at its No. 4 high.

Lola Young’s “Messy” jumps 8-5 on the Global 200 with 43.5 million streams (up 20%) and 7,000 sold (up 18%) worldwide.

Bad Bunny’s “NUEVAYoL” and “BAILE INoLVIDABLE” debut at Nos. 9 and 10 on the Global 200, led by 40.2 million and 39.1 million streams worldwide, respectively. (Parent album DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS was released on an off-cycle Sunday, Jan. 5, and, thus, its songs arrive on Billboard charts with five days of activity, as the chart tracking week runs Friday through Thursday.) Bad Bunny ups his count to 21 Global 200 top 10s. Only Drake (35) and Taylor Swift (33) have more.

“APT.” concurrently tops Global Excl. U.S. with 119.1 million streams (down 5%) and 11,000 sold (down 13%) outside the U.S. Jan. 3-9. The only songs that have led longer are Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” (14 weeks) and Cyrus’ “Flowers” and Styles’ “As It Was” (13 each).

“Die With a Smile” keeps at No. 2 on Global Excl. U.S., following eight weeks at No. 1 starting in September. Thanks to the song and “APT.,” Mars has claimed the top two spots on the chart for a record 11 weeks. He has notched the same double domination on the Global 200 for an unprecedented eight weeks.

Eilish’s “Birds of a Feather” holds at No. 3 on Global Excl. U.S., after three weeks at No. 1 beginning in August; Abrams’ “That’s So True” is stationary at its No. 4 best; and Young’s “Messy” bounds 8-5.

As on the Global 200, Bad Bunny debuts two songs in the Global Excl. U.S. top 10 from his new LP: “DtMF” (No. 9; 27.8 million streams outside the U.S.) and “NUEVAYoL” (No. 10; 27.4 million). With the arrivals, he now boasts 20 top 10s – tying Swift for the most since the chart began.
