Jack Harlow’s ‘Lovin on Me’ & Tate McRae’s ‘Greedy’ Rule Billboard Global Charts
Written by djfrosty on January 8, 2024
Jack Harlow’s “Lovin on Me” leaps to No. 1, from No. 20, for its first week atop the Billboard Global 200 chart. Meanwhile, Tate McRae’s “Greedy” bounds 21-1 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart for its second week at the summit.
The singles, among several others, surge on the surveys a week after the top 19 titles on the Global 200 were holiday tracks and the full top 20 on Global Excl. U.S. were seasonal songs.
Meanwhile, three songs are new to the Global 200’s top 10: Xavi’s “La Diabla” (33-4), Peso Pluma and Anitta’s “Bellakeo” (43-7) and Noah Kahan’s “Stick Season” (50-8). On Global Excl. U.S., “La Diabla” (23-2) and “Bellakeo” (26-8) also reach the top 10 for the first time.
The Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts 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.
‘Lovin on Me’ Leaps to No. 1 on Global 200
Jack Harlow’s “Lovin on Me” ascends to the top of the Global 200 with 52 million streams (up 15%) and 11,000 sold (up 6%) worldwide in the Dec. 29-Jan. 4 tracking week. The rapper adds his second No. 1 on the chart, and his first on his own, after Jung Kook and Harlow’s “3D” reigned in its debut week in October.
Tate McRae’s “Greedy” jumps 24-2 on the Global 200, after two weeks at No. 1 beginning in November, and Taylor Swift’s “Cruel Summer” rebounds 32-3, following a week on top the same month.
Xavi’s “La Diabla” flies 33-4 on the Global 200, led by 56.9 million streams (up 16%) worldwide. The song becomes the first top 10 on the chart for the Mexican-American singer-songwriter (born Joshua Xavier Gutiérrez). It concurrently tops the U.S.-based Hot Latin Songs chart for a second week.
Rounding out the Global 200’s top five, Doja Cat’s “Paint the Town Red” roars 40-5, after it dominated for four weeks beginning in September.
Peso Pluma and Anitta’s “Bellakeo” blasts 43-7 on the Global 200, with 44.4 million streams (up 8%) worldwide. The song is the fifth and second top 10 for the Mexican and Brazilian stars, respectively.
Also new to the Global 200’s top 10, Noah Kahan’s “Stick Season” hikes 50-8, with 29.5 million streams (up 13%) and 3,000 sold (up 12%) worldwide. The Strafford, Vt., native scores his first top 10 on the tally.
