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' crowns the Global 200 with 82.5 million streams and 6,000 sold worldwide April 25-May 1. The song by the Carlsbad, Calif., native became a viral hit, boosted by his performance of it in March on Netflix's Love Is Blind. It has since topped 11 charts in Billboard's Hits of the World menu, spent seven weeks and counting atop the Official UK Singles chart and hit No. 2, as of this week, on the U.S.-based Billboard Hot 100.
'Die With a Smile' drops to No. 2 after 18 weeks atop the Global 200 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). The rest of the ranking's top five holds in place: 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.
WizTheMC's 'Show Me Love' soars 19-10 on the Global 200 with 37 million streams (up 22%) and 1,000 sold (up 13%) worldwide. The track by the South African-German multihyphenate, based in Toronto, became his first Billboard chart entry in March. It concurrently bounds 11-6 on Global Excl. U.S.
'Die With a Smile' collects a 16th week at No. 1 on Global Excl. U.S., with 66.9 million streams (down 1%) and 3,000 sold (down 2%) outside the U.S. The song boasts the second-longest rule in the chart's archives:
19 weeks at No. 1, 'APT.,' ROSÉ & Bruno Mars (2024-25)
16 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)
The rest of the Global Excl. U.S. is also steady week-over-week: 'APT.' at No. 2; 'Ordinary' at its No. 3 best; JENNIE's 'like JENNIE' at No. 4, after hitting No. 3; and 'Birds of a Feather' at No. 5, following three weeks at No. 1 last August.
The Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts (dated May 10, 2025) will update on Billboard.com tomorrow, May 6. 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.

‘KPop Demon Hunters' Has Set Yet Another Netflix Movie Record
KPop Demon Hunters Netflix has a mega-hit on its hands with KPop Demon Hunters, the animated film where a KPop group…hunts demons, per a centuries old, song-based tradition. The film has put out actual musical hits, topping Billboard charts for both its groups, HUNTR/X and Saja Boys, which is certainly a first for any Netflix movie. Now? It's set what I believe is a second one. Well, third, if we're talking about the performance of an animated movie, but that one has come and gone. Rather, no, KPop Demon Hunters will not set the record for the longest stretch of time at #1 on Netflix's top 10 list, at least in the US. That honor belongs to Carry-On, which was there for 21 days in a row or Don't Look Up in second place with 18 days. But here, almost exactly a month after its June 20 release, KPop Demon Hunters has once again become the #1 movie on Netflix in the US. While no, it hasn't been planted there permanently, it has never left the top 3 and about six times now, a movie has come along to beat it, then fallen in the next 1-2 days and KPop Demon Hunters returns to #1 again. This just does not happen, and should be a record for the latest amount of time post-release a movie has hit #1, even if it's not consistent. We are approaching a full month in just two more days. Top 10 Why? Well, the movie is great, but word of mouth here has been positively wild. The songs keep charting, and more and more people say 'wait what songs are these?' then go check out the movie. Or people just watch the movie over and over like they would an album. It's only 90 minutes long and a large chunk of that is singing these hit songs. The visuals certainly add to the experience as well, and these full cuts of all the songs are not available on YouTube. They're also better in the context of the actual movie. One thing KPop Demon Hunters has not done is enter Netflix's most-watched movies of all time list, where it would need 137 million views to top We Can Be Heroes. It is hauling in dozens of views a week, but it's not quite there yet. We also do not know what Netflix's plan for future KPop Demon Hunters content is. It's…something, certainly, whether a sequel or a show or even a rumored live-action adaptation. But no one predicted this level of a hit, so nothing was fully planned and it would take a long while for more to be released. These killer songs don't write themselves. Follow me on Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram. Pick up my sci-fi novels the Herokiller series and The Earthborn Trilogy.

‘Sinners' Star Miles Caton Shows Off Vocals In SZA's ‘Snooze' Cover
Source: Paras Griffin / Getty Fresh off his breakout acting debut in Sinners , rising star Miles Caton is reminding the world of his first love — music. Check out his soulful, stripped-down cover of SZA's chart-topping ballad 'Snooze' inside. In a recent TikTok that quickly racked up countless views, Caton is seen perched in a swivel chair inside a recording studio, mic in hand, delivering velvety vocals as he croons, 'I can't lose when I'm with you / How can I snooze and miss the moment? You just too important / Nobody do body like you do.' The cover of SZA's sultry single — which peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and hails from her SOS album — had fans in their feelings and begging for more. Caton's audience was floored. 'I didn't know I needed to hear Sammie sing SZA until now,' one fan wrote, referencing his Sinners character. Another chimed in, 'Sing it preacher boy!!!' while others demanded he release original music, like yesterday. Though many were introduced to Caton through his role in the Ryan Coogler-directed film Sinners , his journey started with music. The multitalented artist had already shared stages with acts like H.E.R. and released his own single 'This Ain't It' in 2023. Billboard shared that Coogler himself recalled being captivated by Caton's voice from his very first audition, saying, 'He had this once-in-a-lifetime voice… he felt like the character.' Caton's turn in Sinners received critical praise, and his performance in the viral 'Snooze' cover is further proof that he's more than just a one-screen wonder. With an effortlessly soulful delivery and clear musical range, he's the kind of artist who bridges the gap between R&B and today's cinematic storytelling. As fans continue to buzz about both his acting and music, it seems like the best is yet to come. Miles Caton is a name you won't want to snooze on.

Drake Replaces Kendrick Lamar At No. 1 On Several Billboard Charts
Drake's 'What Did I Miss?' debuts at No. 1 on seven Billboard charts, dethroning Kendrick Lamar and ... More SZA's 'Luther' after a record-setting run. LONDON, ENGLAND - JULY 12: (EDITORIAL USE ONLY) Drake performs live on stage during day two of Wireless Festival 2025 at Finsbury Park on July 12, 2025 in London, England. Drake is headlining an unprecedented all three nights of Wireless Festival. (Photo byfor ABA) Drake demonstrates his immense popularity in the United States yet again this week as his new single 'What Did I Miss?' arrives. The tune debuts at No. 1 on several Billboard charts, including many of the company's top hip-hop and rap tallies. In several instances, the Canadian superstar manages to unseat his rival Kendrick Lamar, who has been ruling some of the most important hip-hop and rap lists for months with what has turned out to be a historic win. Drake Replaces Kendrick Lamar at No. 1 'What Did I Miss?' opens at No. 1 on both the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts. Those tallies use a methodology that blends sales, streams, and radio airplay to rank the most consumed tracks in those genres throughout the country. This week, that honor belongs to the latest from Drake. Last frame, Kendrick Lamar ruled both the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs rankings with 'Luther,' one of his collaborations with friend SZA. The tune extended its reign as the longest-running leader on both tallies, earning a twenty-eighth stay in the penthouse. Drake, who publicly feuded with Lamar in 2024, beats the record-setting tune as 'What Did I Miss?' conquers the two rosters. Drake Makes Up for His Recent Near-Miss The arrival of 'What Did I Miss?' at No. 1 must be exciting for Drake. He has reached the summit many times before, but only recently he failed to best Lamar and SZA's 'Luther' with 'Nokia,' the standout smash from Drake's recent album Some Sexy Songs for You. The single stalled in the runner-up spot on both the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs rankings, as well as the Hot 100. Dozens of No. 1 Singles Drake scores his thirty-first No. 1 on both of the general consumption lists. He's now reached the top 10 a staggering 139 times on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs tally and 142 times on the Hot Rap Songs list. In its first frame on the Billboard rosters, 'What Did I Miss?' also opens at No. 1 on all of the following charts: Streaming Songs, Digital Song Sales, R&B/Hip-Hop Streaming Songs, R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales, Rap Streaming Songs, and Rap Digital Song Sales lists.
