Bruno Mars is still leading the pack globally…
The 39-year-old part-Puerto Rican Grammy-winning singer-songwriter’s ROSÉ-collaboration “APT.” rules the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart for a record-extending 17th week.
The collaboration first led the list in November.
“APT.” holds atop Global Excl. U.S. with 84.2 million streams (down 5% week-over-week) and 7,000 sold (down 9%) outside the U.S. February 28-March 6.
Mars’ Lady Gaga-collab “Die With a Smile” is steady at No. 2 after 10 weeks atop Global Excl. U.S. beginning last September.
The Billboard Global Excl. U.S. ranks songs based on streaming and sales activity culled from more than 200 territories around the world, as compiled by Luminate. 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.
