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.
'Ordinary' leads the Global 200 with 65.9 million streams (essentially even week-over-week) and 11,000 sold (down 9%) worldwide May 2-8.
The entire Global 200's top five holds in place from a week earlier: 'Die With a Smile' at No. 2, after 18 weeks at No. 1 beginning last September (second only to the 19 weeks at No. 1 for Mariah Carey's 'All I Want for Christmas Is You' since the chart began); ROSÉ and Bruno Mars' 'APT.' at No. 3, after 12 weeks at No. 1 starting in November; Billie Eilish's 'Birds of a Feather' at No. 4, following three weeks at No. 1 last August; and Benson Boone's 'Beautiful Things' at No. 5, after it logged seven weeks on top in February-April 2024.
'Die With a Smile' adds a 17th week at No. 1 on Global Excl. U.S., with 64.8 million streams (down 3%) and 3,000 sold (down 5%) outside the U.S. The song holds the second-longest rule in the chart's archives:
19 weeks at No. 1, 'APT.,' ROSÉ & Bruno Mars (2024-25)
17 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)
'Ordinary' rises 3-2 for a new Global Excl. U.S. best; 'APT.' drops 2-3; JENNIE's 'like JENNIE' keeps at No. 4, after hitting No. 3; and 'Birds of a Feather' repeats at No. 5, following three weeks at No. 1 last August.
The Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts (dated May 17, 2025) will update on Billboard.com tomorrow, May 13. For both charts, the top 100 titles are available to all readers on Billboard.com, while the complete 200-title rankings are visible on Billboard Pro, Billboard's subscription-based service.

Lady Gaga Performs to Record-Breaking Crowd at Rio's Copacabana Beach
Lady Gaga performed to a record-breaking crowd Saturday in Rio de Janeiro, as an estimated 2.5 million people attended the singer's free concert on Copacabana Beach. The gig in Brazil marked the highest attended concert by a female artist in history, according to the singer's reps, eclipsing the 1.6 million people Madonna drew to the same venue last year. More from Rolling Stone Brazil Police Reveal Thwarted Bomb Attack Targeting Lady Gaga's Rio Concert Katy Perry Attends Lady Gaga Concert in Mexico City: 'So Proud of You' Lady Gaga Adds Seven Shows to Mayhem Ball Tour 'Tonight, we're making history … Thank you for making history with me,' Lady Gaga told the crowd, which included over a million Brazilians as well as a reported 500,000 Little Monsters who flew in for the special show, which injected over $100 million into Rio's economy, NPR reported. The record holder for largest concert crowd in history — according to Guinness World Records — remains Rod Stewart, who attracted a crowd of over 4 million to Copacabana Beach on New Year's Eve in 1994. The Copacabana Beach concert marked Lady Gaga's first concert in Brazil since 2012. 'I've missed you so much,' she told an enormous crowd that gathered the previous night just to watch her soundcheck. 'I know that this is not the first show here. I know this is just a rehearsal; it feels like it's the real show.' The concert itself found Gaga replicating the five-act 'gothic opera' that she performed during her headlining sets at Coachella and other Mayhem Ball stops thus far. She'll next travel to Singapore for four shows in that country later this month before the North American arena leg of the Mayhem Ball tour begins in July. Rio de Janeiro's tourism department previously announced plans to continue staging free Copacabana Beach concerts until at least 2028.

Jelly Roll Hits A Career Peak On Multiple Charts With His New Smash
Jelly Roll's global profile has been growing for years now, but he has found the greatest commercial success in the United States, his home country. His music has recently begun taking off in the United Kingdom, thanks largely to a handful of popular collaborations. The multi-genre superstar — who has scored hits in America on hip-hop, country, rock, and pop rankings — rises higher than ever on a number of tallies across the Atlantic by joining forces with one of the hottest newcomers in the global music industry for a quick new smash. Jelly joins Alex Warren on his new single 'Bloodline,' which reaches multiple U.K. charts this frame. The tune debuts on four rosters, becoming a top 20 success on all of them and adding meaningfully to Jelly's short list of wins in each instance, as he hits a new career peak on every roster where the single debuts. Perhaps most excitingly, 'Bloodline' launches inside the top 10 on the Official Singles chart, the ranking of the most consumed songs in the U.K. The Warren duet opens at No. 9, far outpacing the No. 67 peak of 'Lonely Road,' Jelly's previous team-up with MGK (formerly known as Machine Gun Kelly). The same tune is also a win on the purchase-only tallies. Jelly collects his fourth career hit on both the Official Singles Sales and Official Singles Downloads charts, where 'Bloodline' launches at Nos. 14 and 12, respectively. The cut marks his first top 20 on the general sales list and his second on the downloads-only roster. On that ranking, 'Lonely Road' peaked at No. 20, so he easily claims a new high point. 'Bloodline' is also a top 20 winner on the Official Streaming chart, which looks only at plays on platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and others. On that tally, Warren and Jelly launch their collaboration at No. 16. It earns the American musician his first placement on this format-specific list, which is surprising, given the popularity of some of his past releases. While Jelly has been racking up hits in a number of countries, including the U.K., for some time, it's Warren's newfound popularity that is largely to thank for the success of 'Bloodline' this week. In addition to scoring a new top 10, Warren leads the charge once again with his cut 'Ordinary.' That track has ruled the main songs list in the country for 11 weeks, and it has proved to be one of the biggest successes of 2025 and a true breakout smash for the singer-songwriter.

Metallica's 30-Year-Old Song Finally Debuts On A Billboard Chart
Metallica's 'Enter Sandman' debuts on the Billboard Global 200 at No. 182, more than three decades ... More after its release, becoming the band's second career hit. SAN FRANCISCO, CA - AUGUST 12: (L-R) Robert Trujillo, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett, and James Hetfield of Metallica perform on Lands End stage during the 2017 Outside Lands Music And Arts Festival at Golden Gate Park on August 12, 2017 in San Francisco, California. (Photo by Jeff Kravitz/FilmMagic) 'Enter Sandman' has long reigned as one of Metallica's most successful songs. The group is responsible for some of the most commercially viable hard rock cuts of all time, and the classic smash may be the biggest of the bunch. Released in 1991 from the outfit's self-titled blockbuster album, 'Enter Sandman' remains hugely popular to this day all around the world. It's not uncommon to see the track appear on the Billboard charts, but this week, the title manages to debut on a ranking more than 30 years after its initial release. On this week's Billboard Global 200, 'Enter Sandman' finally arrives. Metallica's cut starts at No. 182 on the list of the most popular tracks throughout the globe. The ranking, introduced by Billboard five years ago, uses a methodology that blends both sales and streaming activity to show what people all around the planet are listening to — and this week, that includes Metallica. The hard rock superheroes have now scored just two hits on the Billboard Global 200. The group first arrived on the tally in July 2022 with 'Master of Puppets.' The following frame, the track climbed to an all-time peak of No. 20. So far, that cut stands as the band's only placement on the connected list, the Billboard Global Excl. U.S., which is compiled in the same manner, but with streams and sales from U.S. consumers removed. 'Enter Sandman' is a winner in the United States as well, and its continued success in America may be largely to thank for the track's arrival on the Billboard Global 200. This frame, 'Enter Sandman' climbs one space on the Rock Digital Song Sales chart, settling at lucky No. 13. That's the only ranking where the tune manages to ascend at the moment. 'Enter Sandman' is also a winner on the Hard Rock Streaming Songs and Hard Rock Digital Song Sales tallies, where it lives inside the top 10. On the former, the track holds steady at its all-time high of No. 3, while on the latter — which focuses on pure purchases — 'Enter Sandman' dips a single spot to No. 5. The smash has now spent triple-digit frames on all three of those U.S.-based tallies as of this period.
