Sabrina Carpenter’s “Please Please Please” is the newly minted biggest song in the world, as it rises to No. 1 in its second week on both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts.

The track becomes Carpenter’s second leader on each list, dethroning her first on each ranking, “Espresso,” which a week earlier ascended to the Global 200 summit and logged a fifth week atop Global Excl. U.S.

Carpenter is just the second artist to notch new Global 200 No. 1s in consecutive weeks, after Taylor Swift’s “Cruel Summer” and “Is It Over Now? (Taylor’s Version) [From the Vault]” reached the top spot in back-to-back frames in November 2023.

Elsewhere, Trueno earns his first Global Excl. U.S. top 10 with “Real Gangsta Love.”

The Global 200 and 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.



“Please Please Please” crowns the Global 200, lifting from No. 2, with 119.2 million streams (up 14%) and 9,000 sold (down 10%) worldwide June 14-20.

The song by the Quakertown, Pa.-born singer-songwriter-actress was released June 7, alongside its official video, and she performed it during her set at New York’s Governors Ball the following day. On June 18, acoustic, a cappella, instrumental, sped up and slowed down versions of the single were released. On June 20, Carpenter announced her 29-date Short n’ Sweet Tour, set to start Sept. 23 in Columbus, Ohio. Her album Short n’ Sweet, featuring both “Please Please Please” and “Espresso,” is due Aug. 23.

“Espresso” dips to No. 2 on the Global 200 as Carpenter becomes the first woman to hold the chart’s top two spots in consecutive weeks. Among all acts, she joins only Peso Pluma, who achieved the feat for two weeks in June 2023.

Billie Eilish’s “Birds of a Feather” rises 4-3 for a new Global 200 high; Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” lifts 5-4 for a new best; and Tommy Richman’s “Million Dollar Baby” rebounds 7-5 after it spent two weeks at No. 1 earlier in June.

On Global Excl. U.S., “Please Please Please” vaults 5-1 with 69 million streams (up 26%) and 2,000 sold (down 11%) outside the U.S. June 14-20.

“Espresso” ranks at No. 2 on Global Excl. U.S. – making Carpenter the first solo woman to claim the chart’s top two spots simultaneously. Among all acts, Jung Kook (two weeks in 2023), BLACKPINK (one, 2022) and BTS (one, 2020) have also earned such a double-up.

Carpenter is also the first solo woman to place at Nos. 1 and 2 on both the Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. concurrently. Overall, Jung Kook (“Standing Next to You,” “Seven,” featuring Latto; Nov. 18, 2023) and BLACKPINK (“Shut Down,” “Pink Venom,” Oct. 1, 2022) previously made such a mark in the charts’ top two ranks simultaneously.

Eilish’s “Birds of a Feather” wings 4-3 for a new Global Excl. U.S. high; FloyyMenor and Cris Mj’s “Gata Only” drops to No. 4 from its No. 3 peak; and Benson Boone’s “Beautiful Things” bumps 6-5 following eight weeks at No. 1 beginning in February.



Plus, Trueno scores his first Global Excl. U.S. top 10 as “Real Gangsta Love” soars 26-10 with 41.5 million streams (up 43%) outside the U.S. The track by the Argentinian singer and rapper rules four tallies in Billboard’s Hits of the World menu (Bolivia Songs, Ecuador Songs, Peru Songs and Spain Songs) for a second week each and has hit the top five on the Billboard Argentina Hot 100.

The Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts (dated June 29, 2024) will update on Billboard.com Tuesday, June 25. For both charts, the top 100 titles are available to all readers on Billboard.com, while the complete 200-title rankings are visible on Billboard Pro, Billboard’s subscription-based service.
