The Billboard Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts, which began in September 2020, 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.
“Die With a Smile” leads the Global 200 with 116.9 million streams (up 4%) and 9,000 sold (up 17%) worldwide March 7-13.
Nos. 2-4 on the Global 200 hold in place, with ROSÉ and Mars’ “APT.” at No. 2, after 12 weeks at No. 1 starting in November; Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s “Luther” at its No. 3 high; and Lamar’s “Not Like Us” at No. 4, following four weeks at No. 1 beginning last May.
JENNIE’s “like JENNIE” soars in at No. 5 on the Global 200 with 68.4 million streams and 6,000 sold worldwide. The BLACKPINK member adds her fourth solo top 10 on the chart; the group has likewise collected four top 10s, while fellow members LISA (three top 10s), ROSÉ (two) and Jisoo (one) have also hit the tier as soloists.
Also in the Global 200’s top 10, Doechii’s “Anxiety” bounds in at No. 6 with 56.9 million streams and 9,000 sold, becoming her first top 10. The history of the song – recorded in 2019 – is winding: When it was available only via YouTube, Sleepy Hallow co-opted its hook for the chorus of his own “A N X I E T Y”; billed to Sleepy Hallow featuring Doechii, it was released in 2023. The update experienced a TikTok-led revival in recent weeks, as users have soundtracked the “A N X I E T Y” chorus to a scene of Will Smith and Tatyana Ali dancing from an episode of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, the Smith-led sitcom that aired on NBC in 1990-96. “A N X I E T Y” falls 21-27 in its second week on the Global 200, led by 29.6 million streams worldwide (down 2%).
Meanwhile, the new attention for “A N X I E T Y” sent fans to Doechii’s solo, YouTube-only version, prompting the rapper/singer to release her original “Anxiety” wide to digital and streaming retailers on March 4. Her version debuts on the Global 200 following the first full tracking week (March 7-13) reflecting its wider release (and split consumption options with Sleepy Hallow’s take, which, as noted above, dips slightly in streams).
Additionally, “Anxiety” and “A N X I E T Y” prominently sample Gotye’s “Somebody That I Used To Know” (featuring Kimbra), the 2012 smash that topped the Billboard Hot 100 for eight weeks, was that year’s No. 1 Hot 100 song and went on to win two Grammy Awards, including record of the year. That hit vaults 191-130 on the Global 200, up 20% to 16.5 million streams and 27% to 1,000 sold worldwide in the tracking week.
On Global Excl. U.S., “Die With a Smile” rises 2-1 with 92.3 million streams (up 2%) and 4,000 sold (up 17%) outside the U.S. March 7-13.
“APT.” descends to No. 2 after a record 17 weeks atop Global Excl. U.S. beginning in November.
JENNIE’s “like JENNIE” enters Global Excl. U.S. at No. 3 with 61.5 million streams and 4,000 sold outside the U.S. She achieves her fifth solo top 10 on the chart – surpassing the four top 10s that BLACKPINK and the group’s LISA as a soloist have each notched; ROSÉ boasts two solo top 10s and Jisoo, one.
Billie Eilish’s “Birds of a Feather” holds at No. 4 on Global Excl. U.S., after three weeks on top last August, and Gaga’s “Abracadabra” magically reappears in the top five (8-5), after reaching No. 4.
Plus, Doechii’s “Anxiety” debuts as her first Global Excl. U.S. top 10 at No. 7, with 36.9 million streams and 4,000 sold outside the U.S.

Gaga previously led the Billboard 200 with Chromatica (2020), the soundtrack to A Star Is Born (with Bradley Cooper, 2018), Joanne (2016), Cheek to Cheek (with Tony Bennett), ARTPOP (2013) and Born This Way (2011). In total, MAYHEM is Gaga’s 11th top 10-charting effort, stretching back to her debut project, The Fame, which reached No. 2 in 2010, after bowing on the list in 2008.

Also in the top 10 of the latest Billboard 200, JENNIE’s debut solo album, Ruby, bows at No. 7 on the Billboard 200. She’s the third member of the chart-topping quartet BLACKPINK to notch a solo top 10 – and all three have come in the last three months.
The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new March 22, 2025-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on March 18. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram.
Of MAYHEM’s 219,000 first-week equivalent album units, album sales comprise 136,000 (it’s the top-selling album of the week and debuts at No. 1 on Top Album Sales), SEA units comprise 80,500 (equaling 108.05 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs; Gaga’s biggest streaming week ever, and it debuts at No. 1 on the Top Streaming Albums chart) and TEA units comprise 2,500.
With MAYHEM’s bow of 219,000 equivalent album units, the set earns the biggest week for a woman in 2025, and the largest debut by a woman in over six months. The last larger bow by a woman was Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet, which started with 362,000 atop the Sept. 7, 2024-dated list.
MAYHEM was officially announced on Jan. 27 and went up for pre-order that same day. The set was released on March 7 and was preceded by a trio of top 40-charting titles on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart: “Disease” (reaching No. 27 in November 2024), “Die With a Smile” (No. 1 for five weeks beginning in January; a duet with Bruno Mars), and “Abracadabra” (No. 13 in February).
Gaga ushered in the album’s release with an interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe (March 5), participated in a livestreamed Little Monsters Press Conference presented by Spotify (March 6), and did double duty as the host and musical guest on NBC’s Saturday Night Live (March 8, performing “Abracadabra” and the new album’s “Killah”). Gaga also popped up and/or performed on numerous other programs in the lead up to the album’s release, including the livestreamed FireAid benefit concert (Jan. 30), CBS’ broadcast of the Grammy Awards (Feb. 2), First We Feast’s Hot Ones (Feb. 13), NBC and Peacock’s Saturday Night Live 50th Anniversary Homecoming Concert (Feb. 16), and Vanity Fair’s lie detector test series (Feb. 19).
MAYHEM’s first-week sales were bolstered by its availability across a gaggle of editions: 14 vinyl variants (some signed, and some include the bonus track “Can’t Stop the High,” while Target’s exclusive vinyl has the extra track “Kill for Love”), four CD editions (one signed, Target’s exclusive CD adds “Kill” while Gaga’s webstore carried a CD with the bonus track “Can’t Stop the High”), a cassette tape, a deluxe CD box set with a branded T-shirt and poster, and two widely available download albums (the standard 14-song album, and then a deluxe version exclusive to iTunes with the three music videos for “Disease,” “Die With a Smile” and “Abracadabra”).
Of MAYHEM’s opening-week sales, vinyl purchases comprise 74,000 — Gaga’s biggest week on vinyl ever.
Gaga will soon hit the road for a series of major concerts, beginning with her headlining turn at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (April 11 and 18), two shows in Mexico City (April 26-27), a free show on Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro (May 3) and four shows in Singapore (May 18, 19, 21 and 24).
Kendrick Lamar’s GNX falls to No. 2 on the latest Billboard 200 with a little more than 81,000 equivalent album units earned (down 10%), while five more former leaders round out the top six. PARTYNEXTDOOR and Drake’s $ome $exy $ongs 4 U dips 2-3 (79,000; down 13%), SZA’s SOS is steady at No. 4 (69,000; down 7%), Tate McRae’s So Close To What descends 3-5 (63,000; down 27%), and Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet falls 5-6 (61,000; down 5%).
JENNIE’s first solo studio album, Ruby, arrives at No. 7 on the new Billboard 200, marking the BLACKPINK member’s first chart entry. The set launches with 56,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, SEA units comprise 29,000 (equaling 39.93 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs; it debuts at No. 13 on Top Streaming Albums), album sales comprise 26,500 (it debuts at No. 2 on Top Album Sales) and TEA units comprise 500.
Ruby was preceded by three charting titles on the Hot 100 songs chart: “Mantra,” “Love Hangover” (with Dominic Fike) and “ExtraL” (with Doechii).
Ruby was available in its first week as a nine-track widely available digital download album, and then an expanded 15-song physical set and a 15-track download and streaming edition. While the standard and physical albums have only one guest star (FKJ, on “JANE”), the 15-track download and streaming edition adds further special guests on a few tracks, including Doechii, Dua Lipa, Dominic Fike, Childish Gambino and Kali Uchis.
Ruby’s first-week sales were aided by its availability across four CD variants (all containing collectible paper ephemera, some randomized), five deluxe CD boxed set editions (each containing a piece of branded clothing, a signed insert and a copy of the album) and two download editions (a widely available standard version with nine tracks and an expanded 15-song edition).
JENNIE is a member of the Billboard 200-topping quartet BLACKPINK, who saw its last album, BORN PINK, debut atop the chart dated Oct. 1, 2022, after the act’s The Album became its first top 10 (No. 2, 2020). JENNIE is the third member of the group to notch a top 10-charting solo effort on the Billboard 200, following LISA, whose Alter Ego debuted at No. 7 a week ago (March 15 chart), and ROSÉ, whose rosie debuted and peaked at No. 3 on the Dec. 21, 2024, chart.
Rounding out the top 10 of the latest Billboard 200, Bad Bunny’s chart-topping Debí Tirar Más Fotos falls 6-8 (52,000 equivalent album units; down 8%), Morgan Wallen’s former leader One Thing at a Time is a non-mover at No. 9 (43,000; up 3%), and Chappell Roan’s The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess dips 8-10 (42,000; down 1%).

Papa Roach extends its career-best streak of No. 1s on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Airplay chart, lifting a place to No. 1 on the March 22-dated survey with “Even If It Kills Me.”

Jelly Roll’s “Liar” rules Billboard’s Country Airplay chart for a fifth consecutive week, becoming his sole longest-leading hit.
The song tops the list dated March 22 with 31 million audience impressions (down 5%) March 7-13, according to Luminate. The Nashville native co-authored it with Ashley Gorley, Ben Johnson and Taylor Phillips. It was produced by Zach Crowell. The track is from his studio set Beautifully Broken, which arrived as his first No. 1 on both Top Country Albums and the all-genre Billboard 200 last October.
“Liar” breaks out of a tie with “Need a Favor,” which led for four weeks starting in August 2023, for Jelly Roll’s longest Country Airplay command. “I Am Not Okay” is next, having logged three frames on top beginning last November. All seven of his entries have hit No. 1, with four tallying double-digit dominations; additionally, “Save Me,” with Lainey Wilson, led for two frames in December 2023.
“This is truly incredible. I want to thank everyone on my promotion team, the label, and to everyone who has listened to ‘Liar’ and this entire Beautifully Broken record,” Jelly Roll tells Billboard. “Y’all have changed my life. Ben, Ashley and Taylor, y’all are all incredible — thank you for writing this one with me. Five weeks? This is just unreal.”

Speaking to Billboard’s Stephen Daw, Lady Gaga discussed the carefree approach to making Mayhem and defying industry expectations. “I do think that I felt a lot of pressure, over the years, to prove myself as a musician,” she said. “And that sometimes stopped me from having fun.

It also reached the top 20 on Pop Airplay and, boosted by a remix with Hozier, Adult Alternative Airplay.
“The fans have spoken on this one,” Morris told Billboard upon “The Bones” crowning Country Airplay. “It’s a real, gritty love song. I couldn’t be more proud that it’s become one of the biggest songs of my career to date.”

Morris, from Arlington, Texas, sent her debut single, “My Church,” which pays homage to the Grand Ole Opry, to No. 5 on Hot Country Songs in March 2016, marking her first of nine top 10s.
In 2016, Morris won the best new artist trophy at the Country Music Association Awards. In both 2020 and 2021, she earned female vocalist of the year honors, while “The Bones” won for song of the year in 2021.
Morris, who has been an outspoken advocate for fellow female artists in country music, as well as the LGBTQ+ community, announced in 2023 that she was shifting to pop. In August 2024, she made that segue with the five-song set Intermission.
Now 34, Morris tours next on July 12 in Quebec, with more dates scheduled through September.
