ROSÉ and Bruno Mars’ “APT.” rules both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts for a sixth week. The song debuted as the stars’ second leader on each survey.
Plus, Kendrick Lamar debuts five songs in the Global 200’s top 10 and one in the Global Excl. U.S. top 10, all from his new album, GNX; Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” dashes back into the Global Excl. U.S. top 10; and two other tracks debut in the Global Excl. U.S. top tier: G-DRAGON’s “Home Sweet Home,” featuring TAEYANG and DAESUNG, and Stromae and Pomme’s “Ma Meilleure Ennemie.”
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.” tops the Global 200 for a sixth week with 160.6 million streams (up 21% week-over-week) and 20,000 sold (up 49%) worldwide Nov. 22-28. The duet debuted with 224.5 million global streams and logged 207.5 million in its second frame, becoming the first title since the chart started to have amassed at least 200 million streams globally in multiple weeks.
“APT.” also now boasts six of the top seven streaming weeks on the Global 200 among songs released in 2024:
- 224.5 million, “APT.,” ROSÉ & Bruno Mars, Nov. 2
- 207.5 million, “APT.,” Nov. 9
- 176.8 million, “Fortnight,” Taylor Swift feat. Post Malone, May 4
- 162.2 million, “APT.,” Nov. 16
- 160.6 million, “APT.,” Dec. 7
- 146.4 million, “APT.,” Nov. 23

Lady Gaga and Mars’ “Die With a Smile” holds at No. 2 on the Global 200, following eight weeks at No. 1, the most for any song this year, beginning in September. It drew 115.7 million streams (up 1%) worldwide Nov. 22-28 and has tallied over 100 million streams globally in each of the last 13 weeks, the longest such streak since the chart began.
“APT.” concurrently commands Global Excl. U.S. for a sixth week, with 141 million streams (up 20%) and 13,000 sold (up 44%) outside the U.S. Nov. 22-28.

Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” sleigh-rides 14-5 on Global Excl. U.S, with 38.1 million streams (up 33%) and 2,000 sold (up 40%) outside the U.S. The modern Yuletide classic, originally released in 1994, has spent 13 weeks at No. 1 dating to the chart’s start, tying Miley Cyrus’ “Flowers” (2023) and Harry Styles’ “As It Was” (2022) for the most frames on top. The carol holds at No. 9 on the Global 200, where it has spent a record 18 weeks at No. 1.
Three songs debut in the Global Excl. U.S. top 10, led by Lamar’s “Luther” (34.1 million streams outside the U.S.) It’s the rapper’s fourth top 10 on the chart and SZA’s third.
G-DRAGON’s “Home Sweet Home,” featuring TAEYANG and DAESUNG, opens at No. 7 on Global Excl. U.S. with 29.2 million streams and 8,000 sold outside the U.S. The track brings together the three members of BIGBANG, which as a group hit No. 3 on the chart with “Still Life” in April 2022. G-DRAGON and DAESUNG each reach the top 10 as soloists for the first time, while TAEYANG previously ranked in the region with “Vibe,” featuring Jimin (No. 9, 2023).
