Bruno Mars Brings Two Of His Classics Back To The Global Charts
The celebrated singer-songwriter doubles his total number of wins on the pair of rosters this time around as several of his biggest smashes reappear and join two of his most recent global successes.
'Just the Way You Are' Becomes a Global Hit Again
'Just the Way You Are,' Mars' debut solo hit, returns to both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. this frame. The solo cut reenters the worldwide ranking at No. 159 and finds its way to No. 152 on the list that shows what billions of people all around the planet are listening to, with U.S. consumption completely ignored.
'Locked Out of Heaven' Surges Worldwide
Not far behind 'Just the Way You Are' comes 'Locked Out of Heaven,' which fronted his sophomore set Unorthodox Jukebox. The track also surges back onto the same two rankings. 'Locked Out of Heaven' is a bigger win on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S., where it breaks back in at No. 164, while it appears more than 10 spaces lower on the Billboard Global 200, landing at No. 176.
While 'Just the Way You Are' is the bigger hit between the two comebacks, 'Locked Out of Heaven' has earned higher peaks and longer stays on both rankings.
Bruno Mars Claims Four Global Smashes
Mars currently claims two top 10 hits on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. with tracks nearing their first year on the ranking. 'Die With a Smile,' his collaboration with Lady Gaga, jumps from No. 9 to No. 6 as it approaches 52 frames on the tally – a milestone it will almost certainly make it to in a few days. His collaboration with Blackpink star Rosé, 'Apt.,' dips to ninth place.
The same tracks also appear on the Billboard Global 200, though only one finds space inside the top tier. 'Die With a Smile' holds at No. 9, while 'Apt.' remains just one spot below the top 10.

Kendrick Lamar's Streaming Smashes Return — But Which One Is More Impressive?
Kendrick Lamar is one of the top-performing rap artists in America when it comes to sales, as his fans seem much more willing to purchase his music than many other stars in the field. While sales of both his albums and singles play a large role in his continued success, streaming activity may be even more responsible for his presence on the Billboard charts. Several of Lamar's recent smashes return to streaming-only rankings in the United States, and he climbs on multiple tallies dedicated to the consumption metric. '30 for 30" with SZA is Back Two Lamar tracks find their way back to streaming-only tallies this frame. Technically, the higher-rising of the two is '30 for 30.' His tour partner SZA recruited him for the track, which reappears at No. 25 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Streaming Songs tally. 30 weeks into its life on the most competitive of all the streaming rankings that focus on R&B, hip-hop and rap, the cut barely makes it back as it lands in last place. 'Not Like Us' Returns to the Main Streaming Chart 'Not Like Us,' which may go down as Lamar's most famous and celebrated tune, is back on the Streaming Songs chart this week. In its sixty-first frame, the Drake diss tune reappears in last place at No. 50. While that is a much lower position than '30 for 30' manages on the R&B/Hip-Hop Streaming Songs roster, it may be more impressive that 'Not Like Us' can be found on the Streaming Songs tally. The chart isn't focused on just one or several styles, which makes it that much more competitive. Also, 'Not Like Us' is much older than '30 for 30,' so the fact that it once again ranks as one of the 50-most-played tunes of any style or language throughout the United States is quite the feat. Kendrick Lamar Owns 20% of the Streaming List 'Not Like Us' is one of two tracks by Lamar that appear on the general Streaming Songs roster, as 'Luther,' another duet with SZA, rises two spaces to No. 31. When it comes to the R&B/Hip-Hop Streaming Songs tally, however, Lamar is far more successful this time around. He fills five spaces, occupying 20% of the list. His roundup includes 'Luther' with SZA, 'Not Like Us,' 'TV Off' with Lefty Gunplay, 'All the Stars,' yet another smash with SZA, and finally '30 for 30.' Those tracks appear at Nos. 3, 10, 17, 21 and 25, respectively.

Drake Blocked From A New No. 1 By One Of Rap's Most Successful Women
As is often the case, Drake has a number of singles present on multiple Billboard charts this week. The Canadian superstar recently delivered a pair of new tunes — 'What Did I Miss?' and 'Which One' with Central Cee — only a few months after sharing a full-length, Some Sexy Songs 4 U, with PartyNextDoor. A number of tunes from that project are also performing well, even as Drake seems ready to move on. Drake almost sends one of his most recent releases to No. 1, but one of the most successful women in hip-hop history blocks him from ruling, at least for the moment. 'What Did I Miss?' Climbs to No. 2 Drake's 'What Did I Miss?' rises to No. 2 on the Rhythmic Airplay chart, one of Billboard's radio rosters centered around hip-hop. Five weeks into its life on the tally, 'What Did I Miss?' almost conquers the ranking, but another current smash blocks it from becoming the rapper's record-extending forty-third champion. Cardi B Sends 'Outside' to No. 1 This week's Rhythmic Airplay is led by Cardi B, who brings 'Outside' to No. 1 for the first time. Last week, the tune sat at No. 3, and now it's another chart ruler for her. Cardi lands her ninth career No. 1 on the Rhythmic Airplay chart as 'Outside,' a single from her forthcoming sophomore album Am I the Drama?, ascends. She has now led the charge with all of the following successes: 'I Like It' with Bad Bunny and J Balvin, 'Bodak Yellow (Money Moves),' 'Finesse' with Bruno Mars, 'No Limit' with G-Eazy and ASAP Rocky, 'WAP' with Megan Thee Stallion, 'Please Me' (another collaboration with Mars), and 'Be Careful.' Drake's 'Which One' With Central Cee Debuts While he might not score another No. 1 just yet, Drake does collect a new hit on the Rhythmic Airplay chart, as 'Which One,' which features U.K. artist Central Cee, opens at No. 29. Drake has now racked up 135 wins on the radio roster. He fills a trio of spaces on the tally this time around, as 'Nokia' drops outside of the top 10, falling from No. 8 to No. 11. 'What Did I Miss?' Lifts on All Radio Rankings 'What Did I Miss?' is gaining ground on every radio chart on which it appears. The track lives inside the top 10 on the Rhythmic Airplay, Rap Airplay, R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay, and Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay lists, lifting to Nos. 2, 3, 7, and 8, respectively. Drake's cut also grows on the all-genre Radio Songs roster, pushing from No. 39 to No. 31 in its third turn on the tally.

Hayley Williams Charts Her First Solo No. 1 Hit
20 years ago, Hayley Williams emerged as one of the most exciting new female voices in rock music as the lead singer of the group Paramore. She broke barriers and found incredible success during the pop-punk revival in the early aughts, and in the decades since, Paramore has continued to chart big hits and successful albums. Williams has also embarked on a solo career — though not one which has distracted from her work with the band that made her well-known in the first place. Recently, Williams delivered a slew of new tunes for fans to enjoy, and while only one reaches the Billboard charts, it does help her score an important champion. Hayley Williams Scores Her First Solo No. 1 Williams's new track 'True Believer' launches at No. 1 on the Alternative Digital Song Sales chart. As it arrives, the singer-songwriter scores her first leader on the list of the bestselling alternative tracks throughout the United States. Multiple Top 10 Bestsellers Williams has previously reached the Alternative Digital Song Sales list with three tracks, so her solo count is now up to four in total. One of them, 'Simmer,' opened at No. 10 in February of 2020, and until this frame, it held as her only top 10 success on the tally. 'True Believer' Launches at No. 5 'True Believer' also finds its way to the highest tier on the Rock Digital Song Sales chart, where it opens at No. 5. The solo cut ties 'Simmer' as her highest-rising win, while a collaboration with the band Weezer, 'Rainbow Connection,' also reached No. 23 more than a decade ago. 'True Believer' Becomes a General Bestseller The new Williams cut sold just well enough to make it to one other Billboard tally, the Digital Song Sales chart. Unlike the other two rankings, which are focused entirely on one genre, the Digital Song Sales list is style-agnostic, and 'True Believer' opens in last place at No. 25. Luminate reports that in its first full tracking frame of availability, the tune sold just over 1,700 copies — barely enough to help it land on the competitive roster. 'Airplanes' with B.o.B and 'Stay the Night' with Zedd 'True Believer' is not one of Williams's biggest wins on the Digital Song Sales tally, as it comes in behind 'Airplanes' with B.o.B and 'Stay the Night' with Zedd, which peaked at Nos. 2 and 16, respectively. The new track does, however, beat her team-up with Taylor Swift, 'Castles Crumbling (Taylor's Version) (From the Vault),' which stalled at No. 36 back when the roster featured 50 spots. Hayley Williams Drops 17 New Solo Songs Williams has released two solo albums throughout her career — Petals for Armor and Flowers for Vases/Descansos — in 2020 and 2021, respectively. At the same time that 'True Believer' came out, Williams dropped another 16 tunes, which were not featured on any album or compilation, but were available for sale as individual cuts for fans to buy and enjoy.
