Olivia Rodrigo & BTS Rule Global Charts, Bad Bunny Debuts in Top Five
Olivia Rodrigo's "Good 4 U" adds a second week at No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200 and BTS' "Butter" spends a third frame atop the Global Excl. U.S. chart.
Olivia Rodrigo’s “Good 4 U” adds a second week at No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200 and BTS‘ “Butter” spends a third frame atop the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart.
Plus, Bad Bunny‘s “Yonaguni” starts at Nos. 3 and 4 on the respective rankings. The song by the Puerto Rican rapper and singer-songwriter is sung mostly in Spanish, with added lyrics in Japanese.
Billboard‘s two global charts (the latest of which are dated June 19) began last September and rank songs based on streaming and sales activity culled from more than 200 territories around the world, as compiled by MRC Data. The Billboard Global 200 is inclusive of worldwide data and the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart comprises data from territories excluding the U.S.
Chart rankings 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.
