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 90.7 million streams (down 1% week-over-week) and 6,000 sold (down 3%) worldwide April 11-17. At 17 weeks, the song moves to within two weeks of tying the longest No. 1 run since the chart began:
19 weeks at No. 1, 'All I Want for Christmas Is You,' Mariah Carey (2020-25)
17 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)
Alex Warren's 'Ordinary' ascends 3-2 for a new Global 200 high; 'APT.' dips 2-3; Billie Eilish's 'Birds of a Feather' holds at No. 4 following three weeks at No. 1 last August; and Kendrick Lamar and SZA's 'Luther' lifts 6-5 after reaching No. 3 in March.
'Die With a Smile' runs up a 14th week at No. 1 on Global Excl. U.S., with 73.5 million streams (down 1%) and 3,000 sold (up 2%) outside the U.S. The song ties for the second-longest command in the chart's archives:
19 weeks at No. 1, 'APT.,' ROSÉ & Bruno Mars (2024-25)
14 weeks, 'Die With a Smile,' Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars (2024-25)
14 weeks, 'All I Want for Christmas Is You,' Mariah Carey (2021-25)
13 weeks, 'Flowers,' Miley Cyrus (2023)
13 weeks, 'As It Was,' Harry Styles (2022)
'APT.' keeps at No. 2 on Global Excl. U.S.; 'Ordinary' is steady at its No. 3 best; JENNIE's 'like JENNIE' rebounds 5-4 after hitting No. 3; and 'Birds of a Feather' backtracks 4-5, after three weeks at No. 1 last August.

The Spinners' ‘Pick of the Litter' Turns 50
The start of album-oriented romantic soul can be traced to May 1968, when the Delfonics released 'La La Means I Love You.' Inspired by the earlier cooing ballad style of Smokey Robinson, Marvin Gaye, Barbara Lynn, Baby Washington and Little Anthony, the LP ushered in a new Philadelphia music movement marked by vocals that expressed true love, sincerity and respect for one's romantic partner. The rise of black-owned FM radio stations playing R&B gave the genre momentum. On the other end of the timeline, one of the last landmark albums in this genre before the onset of disco was the Spinners' 'Pick of the Litter,' released 50 years ago this month. The record became the vocal group's highest-charting LP on the Billboard 200, peaking at No. 8, and it climbed to No. 2 on the soul album chart. The album's single 'They Just Can't Stop It (Games People Play)' reached No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 1 on the soul chart.

All the 2025 MTV VMAs Performers, From Sabrina Carpenter to Sombr
MTV's Video Music Awards have been the catalyst for some of pop culture's most iconic performances, from Michael Jackson's medley in 1995 to Lady Gaga's bloody opera for 'Paparazzi' in 2009. Of course, you can't ever mention the beloved awards show without acknowledging Beyoncé, Britney Spears, and Taylor Swift's era-defining moments. The list goes on, and after a legendary lineup at the 2024 VMAs (Ahem: Chappell Roan, Katy Perry, and GloRilla, to name a few), we are simply seated for this year's ceremony. This year's show is set to take place on Sunday, September 7, and marks the first time it will air on both MTV and CBS. We'll see a mix of breakout stars and VMA vets take the stage at New York's UBS Arena, from Alex Warren and Sombr to Sabrina Carpenter and Ricky Martin. Check out all the artists performing at the 2025 MTV VMAs so you don't miss a beat. Ricky is a multihyphenate in every sense, thanks to his Latin Grammy-winning music and coveted acting roles to his humanitarian work over the years. That's why he's the first artist to be honored with the VMAs' Latin Icon Award. It's been 26 years since his first performance in 1999, when he took home 5 Moon Person awards and made history as the first male Latin artist to win for Best Pop Video. Busta Rhymes will also be honored with the first-ever MTV VMA Rock the Bells Visionary Award, which celebrates his boundary-breaking cultural impact in Hip-Hop and beyond. The 'Touch It' artist was also a Global Icon honoree at last year's EMAs. He last performed at the show in 2021, when he closed it out with a rapid-fire medley of his greatest hits. Hot off her legendary headlining set at Lollapalooza, Sabrina is returning to the VMAs after the release of her seventh album, Man's Best Friend. Last year, she hit the main stage for the first time to perform a medley of tracks off Short n' Sweet. She's also up for eight awards this year, including Video of the Year for 'Manchild.' Rising star sombr has definitely hit your Spotify algorithm thanks to his three (!!!) simultaneous hits on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, 'undressed,' 'back to friends,' and '12 to 12.' This marks his awards show debut, as well as his first-ever VMA noms for Best New Artist and Best Alternative. The MTV PUSH artist's breakout hit, 'Ordinary,' has pretty much been everywhere and even earned a stamp of approval from Lana Del Rey at Stagecoach earlier this year. Naturally, the track has topped the Billboard Hot 100 for 27 weeks and spent 10 of those weeks at number one. Latin powerhouse J Balvin hasn't hit the VMAs stage since 2022, but he's coming back this year thanks to his track with DJ Snake, 'Noventa,' and his latest collab with Justin Quiles and Lenny Tavárez, 'Zun Zun.' The 13-time nominee is looking to earn his sixth Moon Person award as he's nominated for 'Rio' in the Best Latin category.
