Make it two in a row for Selena Gomez…
The 30-year-old Mexican American actress/singer’s Rema-collaboration “Calm Down” leads the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. survey for a second week.
Rema and Selena Gomez’s “Calm Down” stays at No. 1 with 53.5 million streams (essentially even week-over-week) and 4,000 downloads sold (down 2%) in territories outside the U.S. January 6-12.
The Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts, which began in September 2020, 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 U.S.
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.
