Alex Warren’s “Ordinary” remains the biggest song in the world, as it tallies a seventh week at No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200 and a fifth week atop Billboard Global Excl. U.S.
Meanwhile, Sabrina Carpenter’s “Manchild” debuts at No. 2 on both the Global 200 and Global Excl.

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.
“Ordinary” leads the Global 200 with 70.4 million streams (essentially even week-over-week) and 12,000 sold (down 3%) worldwide June 6-12.
Carpenter’s “Manchild” launches at No. 2 on the Global 200 with 70.1 million streams and 8,000 sold worldwide June 6-12, following its release late on June 5. She claims her fourth top 10 on the chart with the song that introduces her next album, Man’s Best Friend, due Aug. 29.
Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ “Die With a Smile” drops 2-3 on the Global 200, after 18 weeks at No. 1 starting last September (second only to the 19 weeks at No. 1 for Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” since the chart began); ROSÉ and Bruno Mars’ “APT.” dips 3-4, after 12 weeks at No. 1 starting in November; and Billie Eilish’s “Birds of a Feather” swoops 4-5, following three weeks at No. 1 last August.
Sheeran’s “Sapphire” enters the Global 200 at No. 8 with 44.8 million streams and 7,000 sold worldwide in its first full week, following its June 5 release, ahead of his album Play, due Sept. 12. He adds his fifth top 10 on the chart and first in a lead role since 2021 (when “Bad Habits” led for a week and follow-up “Shivers” hit No. 3).
“Ordinary” commands Global Excl. U.S. with 51.3 million streams (up 1%) and 5,000 sold (up 2%) outside the U.S.
“Manchild” debuts at No. 2 on Global Excl. U.S. with 43.7 million streams and 3,000 sold beyond the U.S., marking Carpenter’s fourth top 10.
“Die With a Smile” descends 2-3 after 17 weeks atop Global Excl. U.S. starting last September. Only “APT.,” which backtracks 3-4, has led longer: 19 weeks, beginning in November. “Birds of a Feather” rounds out the top five, falling 4-5, following three weeks at No. 1 last August.
“Sapphire” sparkles at No. 7 on Global Excl. U.S. with 38.2 million streams and 4,000 sold outside the U.S., becoming Sheeran’s fifth top 10.
Plus, sombr’s “Back to Friends” pushes 11-9 on Global Excl. U.S. top 10, thanks to an 8% boost to 30.9 million streams outside the U.S. The singer-songwriter (real name Shane Boose) scores his first top 10 on the chart; it likewise became his first top 10 on the Global 200, where it lifts 7-6 for a new high.

Nashville music industry executive Mike Borchetta died on Saturday (June 14) at age 84, Billboard has confirmed. The news was first reported by Country Aircheck.
Borchetta served as vp of promotion at Curb Records from the late 1980s through the mid-1990s, and also worked at labels including Broken Bow, Capitol, RCA, Mercury and Rebel Engine. Along the way, he promoted music for numerous country and pop artists, including 29-time Billboard Country Airplay chart-topper Tim McGraw (Borchetta was key in McGraw’s signing with Curb Records), Hal Ketchum, The Beach Boys, Wayne Newton, Glen Campbell, The Four Seasons and Dusty Springfield. He also served as president at Lofton Creek Records, helping propel Heartland’s song “I Loved Her First” to No. 1 on Billboard‘s Hot Country Songs chart in 2006.
In an Instagram post, McGraw shared, “I am saddened to hear about the passing of the legendary music executive, Mike Borchetta. I came to Nashville the day my hero Keith Whitley died — on a Greyhound bus with only the clothes on my back, a guitar and a big dream. About as green as they come. I was able to get a meeting with Mike while he was working at Curb Records. He pretty much said we are signing you on the spot. I will be forever grateful for his belief in me. Gonna miss seein’ ya at my shows but I know you will be looking down with a smile. My heartfelt condolences to the family. Rest in peace my friend.”

Beyond music, Borchetta and his wife Martha also raised and trained thoroughbreds.
Several of Borchetta’s children followed in his footsteps, forging their own successful music industry careers, including Big Machine Label Group CEO/chairman/founder Scott Borchetta (known for working with artists including Taylor Swift, McGraw, Thomas Rhett and Florida Georgia Line). Another son, Chris Borchetta, has worked at several labels, including Big Machine, Lofton Creek, Star Farm and Nine North, and launched an eponymous promotions and marketing company. Adelle Borchetta, has worked as director of radio promotion and marketing at Nine North Records, Turnpike Music and Edgehill Music and also launched an eponymous promotions and marketing company. And another daughter, Angela Borchetta, has worked at companies including Universal South, RCA and Big Machine; she also founded White House Promotion and Marketing.
Scott Borchetta wrote a tribute to his father on Instagram. “This Legend’s time here is done… without you, there’s no music biz or racing in my life… your memory shall live on… and you’re riding shotgun today in the #48 Chevrolet Xfinity car… Love you, dad…”
Information on funeral services is pending.
This week’s crop of new songs features two sterling collaborations: the first, between Americana music darling Sierra Ferrell and blues-country singer Kashus Culpepper. Also, two traditional country-steeped artists, Randall King and Braxton Keith, team up for a barroom-ready track. Also issuing new songs this week are Tyler Childers, Tanner Adell and Kayley Green.

Check out all of these and more in Billboard‘s roundup of the best country songs of the week below.
Kashus Culpepper (feat. Sierra Ferrell), “Broken Wing Bird”
Trending on Billboard
Culpepper melds his husky, soulful voice with Ferrell’s plaintive twang on this languid, tender song of loving an injured bird until it becomes strong enough to fly away, as the wounded bird brings back memories of an old lover who was emotionally wounded and stopped trying to spread her own wings. The pared-back acoustics here showcase just how well their voices pair together.
Tyler Childers, “Nose on the Grindstone”
Childers has long included this fan-favorite in his shows, and now fans officially get this song via this newly-released live recording. This theatrical feel and Childers’ gritty, rough-hewn voice tell the tale of a son recalling lingering lessons learned from a father who pulled long hours doing blue collar work, and the hardship in living by those words in a modern world as the son battles addiction. “There’s hurt you can cause time alone cannot heal,” he sings, masterfully weaving lyrics depicting the tension between a son’s desire to make his family proud and the insistent pull of addiction. The track previews Childers’ upcoming album Snipe Hunter, out July 25.
Tanner Adell, “Snakeskin”
Acoustic guitar and Adell’s pristine vocal wind together for a song that blends breezy instrumentation with a venomous warning for anyone who thinks they can easily capture her heart. “I’m a cowgirl/ I’ma gone do my own saving,” she declares in a sweet-toned vocal that also harbors an edge of hard-won toughness. Adell previously issued the heart-wrenching, intensely personal “Going Blonde,” but here she evinces how a tough childhood has long-reaching impact.
Kayley Green, “You’d Still Be Drunk”
On her latest, Green sings of rebuffing any notions that an ex-lover might have potentially followed a redemptive arc should she have remained in the relationship. Sonically, the song has a upbeat, throwback vibe soaked in girl power and attitude that further reinforces Green’s strong vocals.
Randall King (feat. Braxton Keith), “Cheatin’ on My Honkytonk”
Keith and King team up for this barn burner about a guy who has traded in nights at a beloved honkytonk bar for time spent with his enticing lover. “The old me probably wouldn’t know me/ He’d probably disown me if he could see me now,” they sing, with their distinctive twangy vocals weaving together effortlessly. This track has the potential to be a mighty summer lovin’ anthem.

Reginae Carter recently spoke out in defense of her father, Lil Wayne, after he got a lot of hate for his new album Tha Carter VI.
The album had been highly anticipated, but many fans online didn’t like it. People complained about the songs, the production, and how the album was put together. But Reginae thinks a lot of this hate isn’t really about the music itself.
Reginae went on social media to respond to the critics. “Tha Carter VI is trash? That’s fine, that’s what you want to say,” she said, before calling out people for judging music based on whether it goes viral. She said just because you can’t make a TikTok dance to a song doesn’t mean it’s bad. “My dad was talking real stuff,” she explained, adding that the songs are the kind you might hear in video games, malls, and other public places. In her eyes, that makes the album more meaningful and wide-reaching.
Reginae went on to say that people need to get off the internet and stop letting trends decide what’s good. She reminded everyone that her pops is a real lyricist who puts thought into his words. “If you can’t understand it, please move in silence like the ‘G’ in lasagna,” she said, quoting one of Lil Wayne’s famous lines. At the end of the day, Reginae made it clear she’s standing by her dad. To her, *Tha Carter VI* is more than just an album. It’s part of a legacy that doesn’t need to go viral to be respected.

The 13th anniversary of the DACA program is celebrated as it faces uncertainty under the Trump Administration.
On Sunday (June 15), the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program celebrated 13 years of existence after its creation during the administration of former President Barack Obama. It comes as the administration of President Donald Trump has endorsed numerous raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents nationwide, and has worked to end the program outright, doing so for six months in his first term. In a post on X, formerly Twitter, Obama honored the day and the program, which was created to provide a pathway to aid the young children of immigrants to becoming citizens and to protect them from deportation.
“Thirteen years ago, my administration acted to protect young people who were American in every single way but one: on paper,” the former president began in the post. “DACA was an example of how we can be a nation of immigrants and a nation of laws. And it’s an example worth remembering today, when families with similar backgrounds who just want to live, work, and support their communities, are being demonized and treated as enemies.” Obama concluded, “We can fix our broken immigration system while still recognizing our common humanity and treating each other with dignity and respect. In fact, it’s the only way we ever will.”
Obama was joined by a slew of other Democratic lawmakers voicing their own support for DACA on social media, and who called for the passage of the bipartisan H.R. 1589 bill, commonly referred to as the “American Dream and Promise Act”. The bill, if passed by both the House of Representatives and the Senate, would codify parts of DACA into federal law. The 5th Circuit Court ruled against DACA being continued in full in January, but allowed applications for renewal to continue.
The Trump Administration recently received a verdict in its favor from the Supreme Court, 7-2, to remove Temporary Protected Status from over 500,000 immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela last month drawing ire from advocates. DACA and the issue of protecting young immigrants have taken center stage again within the past week, as protesters decrying the deportations and policies of ICE outside of a federal building in downtown Los Angeles were confronted by local police. President Donald Trump moved to send in 2,000 members of the National Guard, and subsequently 200 Marines without approval from California Governor Gavin Newsom or Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass.
