ROSÉ & Bruno Mars' ‘APT.' Breaks Record With 15th Week at No. 1 on Billboard Global Excl. U.S. Chart
ROSÉ and Bruno Mars' 'APT.' claims a record-breaking 15th week at No. 1 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart. The team-up, which in November debuted as the stars' second leader each on the list, one-ups Mariah Carey's 'All I Want for Christmas Is You' for the longest command in the chart's four-year-plus history. (The latter has notched at least one week at No. 1 in each holiday season since the survey began.)
Meanwhile, Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars' 'Die With a Smile' rebounds for a ninth week atop the Billboard Global 200 chart, and its first since October; Gaga's new single, 'Abracadabra,' launches in the top 10 of both global tallies; and The Weeknd's 'Cry for Me' opens in the Global 200's top 10.

The Billboard Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts 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.' holds atop Global Excl. U.S. with 103.9 million streams (down 4% week-over-week) and 11,000 sold (up 5%) outside the U.S. Jan. 31-Feb. 6.
Lady Gaga and Mars' 'Die With a Smile' keeps at No. 2 on Global Excl. U.S., following eight weeks at No. 1 starting last September; Bad Bunny's 'DtMF' repeats at No. 3, after hitting No. 2; Billie Eilish's 'Birds of a Feather' rises 6-4, after three weeks on top in August; and Bad Bunny's 'BAILE INoLVIDABLE' dips to No. 5 from its No. 4 best.
Gaga's 'Abracadabra,' unveiled (through a MasterCard commercial) during the 67th Annual Grammy Awards Feb. 2, debuts at No. 9 on Global Excl. U.S. with 34.1 million streams and 8,000 sold outside the U.S. through Feb. 6. The song marks Gaga's second top 10 since the survey started.
On the Global 200, 'Die With a Smile' returns to No. 1, from No. 2, with 131.1 million streams (up 3%) and 16,000 sold (up 61%) worldwide. The ballad won the Grammy for best pop duo/group performance, while Gaga and Mars performed a cover of the Mamas & the Papas' 'California Dreamin' ' as a tribute to Los Angeles during the Grammys.
'Die With a Smile' spent its first eight weeks at No. 1 on the Global 200 in September-October and ends a 15-week break from the summit, the longest such gap in the chart's archives, excluding Carey's seasonal 'Christmas.'
ROSÉ and Mars' 'APT.' drops to No. 2 on the Global 200 following 12 weeks at No. 1 beginning in October; Bad Bunny holds at No. 3 with 'DtMF,' after two weeks on top beginning in January; Eilish's 'Birds of a Feather' lifts 7-4, after three weeks in the lead in August – after she sang the song as the second performance during the Grammys; and Lola Young's 'Messy' is steady at its No. 5 high.
Plus, two songs debut in the Global 200's top 10: The Weeknd's 'Cry for Me,' at No. 7 (led by 51 million streams worldwide), and Gaga's 'Abracadabra,' at No. 10 (47.7 million streams). The Weeknd and Gaga add their 14th and second top 10s, respectively. 'Cry for Me,' which The Weeknd performed at the Grammys, is from his new album, Hurry Up Tomorrow, new at No. 1 on the U.S.-based Billboard 200 chart.
The Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts (dated Feb. 15, 2025) will update on Billboard.com tomorrow, Feb. 11.

How Lewis Hamilton helped shape the F1 movie soundtrack
The upcoming Formula One film, "F1," starring Brad Pitt and Damson Idris, is set to feature a massive soundtrack, "F1 The Album," releasing alongside the movie on June 27. The album, spearheaded by Atlantic Records, the team behind the "Barbie" album, will include original music from a diverse array of artists such as Chris Stapleton, Blackpink's Rosé, and Tate McRae. Film producer Jerry Bruckheimer, director Joseph Kosinski, and Atlantic Records West Coast President Kevin Weaver collaborated to create a soundtrack that mirrors the intensity and global appeal of Formula One. Weaver noted that the selection of artists was driven by the film's narrative needs, aiming to find voices that best complemented specific moments in the movie. Kosinski emphasised the importance of reflecting the sport's global nature through the soundtrack, incorporating artists from around the world. Ferrari driver and seven-time World Champion Lewis Hamilton, who consulted on the film, reinforced this need for inclusivity. The soundtrack features a mix of genres, including pop, Afrobeat, electronic, and country, resulting in a collection of 17 tracks designed to appeal to a broad audience. Artists found inspiration in various ways, with some, like Rosé and Chris Stapleton, creating music in response to specific scenes. Ed Sheeran wrote "Drive," with John Mayer and Blake Slatkin, specifically for the film's end credits, inspired by lyrical prompts related to Pitt's character. DJ Tiësto, who also appears in the film, contributed "OMG!" featuring rapper Sexyy Red, blending dance music with high-energy racing vibes. Roddy Ricch, another contributor, sees his song "Underdog" as a motivational anthem about overcoming doubts and finishing the race of life. Kosinski hopes the soundtrack will introduce listeners to new artists and spark interest in Formula One.

Congress Agrees on One Thing: National Seersucker Day
Congress can't seem to agree on anything these days with Republicans and Democrats seemingly at loggerheads over every piece of legislation. But Sen. Bill Cassidy, a Republican from Louisiana, and Rev. Raphael Warnack, a Democrat from Georgia, have put aside party politics to partner on a resolution marking Thursday, June 12, National Seersucker Day. This is the 12th year that Cassidy has championed the cause, which celebrates the summer fabric, since he revived the tradition in the U.S. House of Representatives in 2014. More from WWD Ray and Charles Eames' Furniture to Be Focus of New Exhibition Gaurav Gupta Talks Bollywood Star Kiara Advani's Met Gala Gown - It's a Loaner Tarun Tahiliani Offers a Modern View of India-made Fashion 'Seersucker Day honors the New Orleans invention that's made America fashionable — and the summer heat bearable — since 1909,' Cassidy said. 'For one day a year, the Capitol looks a little more like the French Quarter. We might not always agree on policy, but we can all agree: wool in June is a mistake.' 'I'm excited to return as the co-chair for the annual Seersucker Day in our nation's capital and continue celebrating this iconic Senate tradition,' said Warnock. 'Seersucker is more than just a fabric, it is a material deeply woven into Southern culture. National Seersucker Day is a proud bipartisan tradition, and I look forward to working alongside Senator Cassidy to carry it on.' The use of seersucker was popularized in 1909 by New Orleans businessman Joseph Haspel Sr., who brought the puckered cloth popular in India to his home town and created suits that would stand up to the city's scorching summer heat and humidity. Haspel's great granddaughter Laurie Haspel Aronson still runs the company today. In 1996, former Mississippi Sen. Trent Lott brought Seersucker Thursday to Congress, where it was observed for several years. After falling by the wayside in 2012 and 2013, Cassidy revived it. The senator has invited other members of Congress to don their seersucker outfits for an official photograph at the Ohio Clock in the U.S. Capitol on Thursday at 12:30 p.m. ET, and he also encouraged all Americans to wear the fabric as well.

Rosé Matches Jimin's All-Time Record
After months on the Billboard charts, "Apt." by Rosé and Bruno Mars is largely on the decline. This week, the tune falls on almost every tally on which it appears in the United States, though it remains a global powerhouse. While the cut is descending, it still manages to make history as it lives on the Hot 100 for another frame, matching an important all-time record. "Apt." has now spent 33 weeks on the Hot 100, Billboard's list of the most consumed tracks in the U.S. The tune is now tied with "Who" by BTS star Jimin for the title of the longest-charting track by any K-pop artist in American history. Last week, "Apt." was tied with "Dynamite" by BTS, with 32 stays on the Hot 100, for second place. Now, as it dips from No. 22 to No. 24, Rosé passes the South Korean boy band and matches with one of its members for this special place in the history books. The cut is still performing well enough at pop radio, and when it comes to pure purchases, that it will likely continue to live on the Hot 100 for at least one more frame — perhaps several. In a few days, when Billboard refreshes the rankings, there's a good chance that Rosé will be able to beat Jimin's showing and claim for herself the title of the longest-charting song by any K-pop act on the Hot 100. Rosé is best known for her K-pop output, both as a member of Blackpink and on her own. "Apt." is performed partially in Korean, although many of her solo cuts are in the English language. She was born in New Zealand, but musically, she is most recognized for her K-pop efforts. "Apt." lives on three of Billboard's radio tallies, including the Radio Songs, Adult Contemporary, and Adult Pop Airplay charts. While it's stepping back on all of them, the collaboration still appears inside the top 10 on the latter list. Impressively, after 33 weeks on the Digital Song Sales chart, "Apt." manages to climb this frame. The cut pushes just one space north to No. 17, selling just under 2,000 copies, according to Luminate.
