Ariana Grande’s ‘Yes, And?’ Adds Second Week at No. 1 on Billboard Global Charts
Written by djfrosty on January 29, 2024
Ariana Grande’s “Yes, And?” spends a second week at No. 1 on both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts. A week earlier, the song debuted as her third leader on the former and her second on the latter.
Elsewhere, Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s “Murder on the Dancefloor,” released in the early 2000s and newly revived thanks to its synch in the movie Saltburn, hits the top 10 on both the Global 200 (17-10) and Global Excl. U.S. (15-9).
Additionally, Kali Uchis and Peso Pluma’s “Igual Que Un Ángel” reaches the Global Excl. U.S. top 10 (17-10).
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.
‘Yes,’ Grande’s No. 1 on Global 200, ‘And’ for a Second Week
Ariana Grande’s “Yes, And?” scores a second week atop the Billboard Global 200, with 62.1 million streams (down 34%) and 6,000 sold (down 91%) worldwide Jan. 19-25. A week earlier, it debuted as her third leader on the list, after “Save Your Tears,” with The Weeknd, reigned for a week in May 2021 and “Positions” premiered atop the chart and led for two weeks in November 2020.
The Global 200’s entire top five is stationary, with “Yes, And?” followed by Jack Harlow’s “Lovin in Me” at No. 2, after two weeks at No. 1 earlier this month; Tate McRae’s “Greedy” at No. 3, after two weeks at No. 1 beginning in November; Xavi’s “La Diabla” at No. 4, after reaching No. 3; and 21 Savage’s “Redrum” at No. 5 in its second week on the survey.
Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s “Murder on the Dancefloor,” originally released in 2001 and newly revived thanks to its appearance in the film Saltburn, along with a prominent presence on TikTok, hits the top 10 on both the Global 200 (17-10) and Global Excl. U.S. (15-9), led by its 21% surge to 33.7 million worldwide streams. It’s the English singer-songwriter’s first top 10 on each chart (which began in 2020).
Notably, “Murder on the Dancefloor” is the oldest song, excluding holiday fare, to have hit the Global Excl. U.S. top 10. Among Global 200 top 10s, only Fleetwood Mac’s classic “Dreams” has been older; the Stevie Nicks composition, from 1977, hit No. 10 in October 2020, driven by TikTok buzz.
“I think I’m still getting my head around that a little bit,” Ellis-Bextor recently told Billboard of her hit’s renaissance. “My relationship with the song is great; I perform it all the time – it’s been the song that people associate the most with me. But to have it having this little wild adventure on the charts is actually bonkers.”
‘Yes, And?’ Holds Atop Global Excl. U.S.
Ariana Grande’s “Yes, And?” concurrently crowns the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart for a second week, with 46.3 million streams (down 32%) and 3,000 sold (down 88%) outside the U.S. Jan. 19-25. The song became her second No. 1, after “Positions” led in its debut week in November 2020.
Tate McRae’s “Greedy” keeps at No. 2 on Global Excl. U.S. after three weeks on top, and Xavi’s “La Diabla” holds at No. 3, after reaching No. 2.
Feid and ATL Jacob’s “Luna” rises to the Global Excl. U.S. top five (7-4), up 11% to 41.5 million streams outside the U.S. It becomes Feid’s first top five hit, among three top 10s, and ATL Jacob’s first, with his first entry on the chart.
Jack Harlow’s “Lovin on Me” drops 4-5 on Global Excl. U.S., after hitting No. 3.
Plus, Kali Uchis and Peso Pluma’s “Igual Que Un Ángel” jumps 17-10 on Global Excl. U.S., with 30.3 million streams (up 22%) worldwide in its second week of release. Kali Uchis notches her second top 10 on the chart, after “Telepatía” hit No. 10 in 2021, while Peso Pluma logs his sixth, all since last April. The collaboration, from Kali Uchis’ new album Orquídeas, released Jan. 12, concurrently holds at its No. 9 high on the Global 200.
