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.
'Die With a Smile' continues atop the Global 200 with 91.3 million streams (down 4% week-over-week) and 6,000 sold (down 3%) worldwide April 4-10. At 16 weeks, the song solely claims the second-longest No. 1 run since the chart began:
19 weeks at No. 1, 'All I Want for Christmas Is You,' Mariah Carey (2020-25)
16 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)
'APT.' holds at No. 2 on the Global 200; Alex Warren's 'Ordinary' keeps at its No. 3 high; Billie Eilish's 'Birds of a Feather' flutters 5-4 following three weeks at No. 1 last August; and Doechii's 'Anxiety' dips 4-5 after reaching No. 3.
Drake's 'Nokia' surges 13-8 on the Global 200. It drew 39.9 million streams (up 9%) and sold 12,000 (up 28%) worldwide April 4-10, after its official video premiered March 31. Drake adds record-extending 36th top 10 since the chart began, lifting him further past runner-up Taylor Swift (33).
'Die With a Smile' collects a 13th week at No. 1 on Global Excl. U.S., with 74 million streams (down 7%) and 3,000 sold (down 8%) outside the U.S. The song ties for the third-longest domination in the chart's archives:
19 weeks at No. 1, 'APT.,' ROSÉ & Bruno Mars (2024-25)
14 weeks, 'All I Want for Christmas Is You,' Mariah Carey (2021-25)
13 weeks, 'Die With a Smile,' Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars (2024-25)
13 weeks, 'Flowers,' Miley Cyrus (2023)
13 weeks, 'As It Was,' Harry Styles (2022)
'APT.' is steady at No. 2 on Global Excl. U.S.; 'Ordinary' holds at its No. 3 high; 'Birds of a Feather' lifts 6-4, after three weeks at No. 1 last August; and JENNIE's 'like JENNIE' slips 4-5 after hitting No. 3 high.
Plus, all-Colombian collaboration 'La Plena (W Sound 05)' bounds 14-9 on Global Excl. U.S. with 35.7 million streams (up 8%) outside the U.S. Billed to W Sound, Beéle & Ovy On the Drums, the track marks the first top 10 for each act (with W Sound the team-up series between Westcol and Ovy on the Drums).

Rosé Matches Jimin's Record — And She's Likely About To Beat Him
Rosé's 'Apt.' with Bruno Mars ties Jimin's 'Who' as the third-longest-running K-pop hit on ... More Billboard's Streaming Songs chart with 34 weeks on the ranking. NEW YORK, NEW YORK - OCTOBER 13: Rosé aka Roseanne Park MBE is seen in Midtown on October 13, 2024 in New York City. (Photo by TheStewartofNY/GC Images) Rosé and Jimin have been racing one another on the Billboard charts throughout the first half of 2025. The BTS star set several records not long ago with his solo single 'Who,' and lately, the Blackpink singer has been matching — and in some cases, beating — his historic showings with "Apt.," her collaboration with Bruno Mars. The two are tied once again on a Billboard ranking as "Apt." continues to stand out as one of the biggest hits in America. Rosé Ties Jimin's All-Time Streaming Record "Apt." returns to the top 40 on the Streaming Songs chart, Billboard's roster of the most-played tracks on platforms like Spotify, Amazon Music, Apple Music, iHeartRadio, Tidal, and others. As it ascends from No. 41 to No. 37, Rosé's team-up with Mars reaches 34 weeks somewhere on the all-genre tally. "Apt." is now tied with 'Who' for the honor of being the third-longest-running win by any K-pop musician in the history of the Streaming Songs roster. Psy Will Likely Always Be the Winner 'Gangnam Style' by Psy, which helped kick off the K-pop craze that continues to this day, is easily in first place on this historic list. That breakout smash remained on the chart for an amazing 122 weeks, and his is a record that will likely never be beaten. "Baby Shark," which comes from South Korean brand Pinkfong, managed 59 stays on the Streaming Songs chart. Rosé will almost certainly beat Jimin's record next week, but she has a long way to go before tying — and perhaps even topping — Pinkfong. It seems almost impossible that the Blackpink superstar, or anyone for that matter, will ever catch up to Psy, who may hold onto that special honor forever. 'Apt.' Remains a Massive Hit in America "Apt." remains a major hit across all consumption methods in the U.S. While the tune is declining on both the Digital Song Sales and Radio Songs charts, it sits in loftier positions there than on the Streaming Songs ranking. Rosé's breakout smash lives at No. 21 on the Digital Song Sales chart and No. 27 on the Radio Songs list, and it remains a top 10 hit on both of Billboard's global tallies.

Walter Scott Jr., founding member of R&B group ‘The Whispers,' dead at 81 after cancer battle
Walter Scott Jr., a founding member of the iconic R&B group The Whispers, died after his six-month-long battle with cancer on Thursday. He was 81 years old. Scott was surrounded by his loved ones in Northridge, Calif., a suburb of Los Angeles, when he died, according to the Los Angeles Sentinel. Advertisement Walter Scott Jr. co-founded The Whispers in 1963. The Whispers' Music / Facebook The legendary group's former publicist, Desirae Lee Benson-Brockington, mourned the trailblazing musician, declaring Scott's 'legacy will continue to live on.' 'Walter was more than a performer — he was part of a movement that brought soul, harmony, and timeless love songs to generations,' Benson-Brockington wrote. 'His legacy will continue to live on through every note, every lyric, and every fan he touched.' Advertisement Benson-Brockington started working with the group in 2020, decades after the artists formed their influential style. 'Watching him perform was a masterclass in grace and soul — but knowing him personally was the real gift,' Benson-Brockingson added. 'We'll miss his warm presence, his wisdom, and the way he made everyone feel like they mattered. Rest well, Walter. Your voice lives on, and so does your legacy.' The 'And the Beat Goes On' singer was born in Fort Worth, Texas, but moved to Los Angeles in 1959. Scott formed The Whispers during high school in 1963 alongside his identical twin brother, Wallace 'Scotty,' Nicholas Caldwell, Marcus Hutson and Gordy Harmon, according to Billboard. Advertisement 'We'll miss his warm presence, his wisdom, and the way he made everyone feel like they mattered,' former publicist, Desirae Lee Benson-Brockington wrote on Facebook. Desirae Lee Benson-Brockington / Facebook Scott's music career was put on hold after he was drafted to serve in the Vietnam War, but he returned to the group in 1969, the same year the group's first album, 'Planets of Life, was released. The musicians got their first taste of success in 1970 when their track 'Seems Like I Gotta Do Wrong' cracked the Top 10 on the Billboard R&B charts. The Whispers maintained a steady presence on the Billboard R&B charts through the 70s with tracks like 'One for the Money (Part 1),' 'Make It With You,' and '(Let's Go) All the Way.' Advertisement One of the group's most well-known hits, 'And the Beat Goes On,' debuted in 1979 and they received their first – and only – Grammy nomination in 1987 for Best R&B Performance By A Duo Or Group with their single 'Rock Steady.' The Whispers were inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 2003 and released over two dozen albums. Scott is survived by his wife, Jan, two sons, three grandchildren and his twin brother, who is the last founding member of the R&B group still alive.
