ROSÉ & Bruno Mars’ ‘APT.’ Spends Record-Tying 14th Week No. 1 on Billboard Global Excl. U.S. Chart
Written by djfrosty on February 3, 2025
ROSÉ and Bruno Mars’ “APT.” dominates the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart for a record-tying 14th week. The team-up, which in November debuted as the stars’ second leader each on the list, matches Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” for the longest command in the chart’s four-year-plus history. The latter has run up its reign via at least one week at No. 1 in each holiday season since the survey began.
“APT.” concurrently rebounds for a 12th week at No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200 chart.

The Billboard 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.
“APT.” holds atop Global Excl. U.S. with 108 million streams (down 3% week-over-week) and 10,000 sold (down less than 1%) outside the U.S. Jan. 24-30.
Lady Gaga and Mars’ “Die With a Smile” rises 3-2 on Global Excl. U.S., following eight weeks at No. 1 starting in September, and Bad Bunny boasts two songs in the top five: “DtMF,” down to No. 3 from its No. 2 high, and “BAILE INoLVIDABLE,” which holds at its No. 4 best.
Elsewhere, Lola Young’s first Global Excl. U.S. top 10, “Messy,” surges 8-5 with 38.7 million streams (up 8%) and 7,000 sold (up 35%) outside the U.S.
Meanwhile, “APT.” rebounds 2-1 on the Global 200 with 126.2 million streams (down 3%) and 17,000 sold (essentially even) worldwide Jan. 24-30.

Plus, “Messy” bounds 9-5 with 53.9 million streams (up 11%) and 14,000 sold (up 42%) worldwide, boosted by Young’s performance of the song and her interview on NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Jan. 21.
