ROSÉ & Bruno Mars’ ‘APT.’ Scores Seventh Week at No. 1 on Billboard Global Charts

ROSÉ and Bruno Mars’ “APT.” leads the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts for a seventh week each. The song debuted as the stars’ second leader on each survey.

Plus, four holiday songs light up the Global 200’s top 10 and three decorate the Global Excl. U.S. top 10.

The 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.

“APT.” rules the Global 200 with 149.9 million streams (down 7%) and 18,000 sold (down 13%) worldwide Nov. 29-Dec. 5. The hit now boasts seven of the top eight global streaming weeks among songs released in 2024:

Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” surges 9-2 on the Global 200, with 92.7 million streams (up 48%) and 7,000 sold (up 77%) worldwide. The modern Yuletide standard, originally released in 1994, has spent a record 18 weeks at No. 1 dating to the chart’s start (five each over the 2023 and 2022 holidays and four in both the 2021 and 2020 holiday seasons).

Plus, three other classic carols return to the Global 200’s top 10: Wham’s “Last Christmas” (11-4), Brenda Lee’s “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” (21-6) and Bobby Helms’ “Jingle Bell Rock” (25-8). The songs have hit respective Nos. 2, 2 and 4 highs. They drew 84.3 million streams (up 75%), 63.6 million streams (up 60%) and 56.7 million streams (up 61%) worldwide, respectively, in the tracking week.

Lady Gaga and Mars’ “Die With a Smile” slips 2-3 on the Global 200, following eight weeks at No. 1, the most for any song this year, beginning in September. It drew 115.2 million streams (essentially even week-over-week) worldwide in the latest tracking frame and has tallied over 100 million streams globally in each of the last 14 weeks, the longest such streak since the chart began.

Elsewhere in the Global 200’s top five, Kendrick Lamar’s “Luther,” with SZA, slips to No. 5 a week after it debuted at No. 4.

“APT.” concurrently tops Global Excl. U.S. with 132.6 million streams (down 6%) and 12,000 sold (down 7%) outside the U.S. Nov. 29-Dec. 5.

“Die With a Smile” holds at No. 2 on Global Excl. U.S. following eight weeks at No. 1 starting in September; Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” lifts 5-3, having spent a record-tying 13 weeks at No. 1; Wham’s “Last Christmas” leaps 14-4, after reaching No. 2 (54.1 million streams, up 88%); and Stromae and Pomme’s “Ma Meilleure Ennemie” jumps to No. 5 a week after it entered the chart at No. 8.

Plus, Lee’s “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” dances merrily back to the Global Excl. U.S. top 10 (34-10), with 32.4 million streams (up 70%) outside the U.S. in the tracking week.
