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.
“APT.” holds atop Global Excl. U.S. with 71.2 million streams (down 6% week-over-week) and 5,000 sold (down 14%) outside the U.S. March 21-27.
“Die With a Smile” keeps at No. 2 after 11 weeks atop Global Excl. U.S. beginning last September; JENNIE’s “like JENNIE” rebounds a spot to its No. 3 best; Doechii’s “Anxiety” dips to No. 4 from its No. 3 high; and Billie Eilish’s “Birds of a Feather” maintains its No. 5 altitude, following three weeks on top in August.
Alex Warren ascends to his first Global Excl. U.S. top 10 as “Ordinary” bounds 15-6 with 32.6 million streams (up 26%) and 4,000 sold (up 42%) outside the U.S. The California singer-songwriter’s viral hit, which he performed earlier in March on Netflix’s Love Is Blind, is one of two songs of his scaling the chart, as “Carry You Home” enters the tally’s top half (122-84). “Ordinary” has also spent two weeks and counting atop the Official UK Singles chart.
Plus j-hope’s “Mona Lisa” begins at No. 9 on Global Excl. U.S., becoming his first solo top 10. Released March 21, the song drew 30.5 million streams and sold 18,000 outside the U.S. in its first week.
Here’s an updated count of BTS members’ Global Excl. U.S. top 10 totals as soloists: Jung Kook (seven), Jimin (five), V (four), JIN (three) and j-hope and Suga (one each). BTS boasts 11 top 10s as a group.
“Die With a Smile” continues atop the Global 200 with 96.3 million streams (down 6%) and 6,000 sold (down 15%) worldwide. At 14 weeks, the song breaks out of a tie with Miley Cyrus’ “Flowers” for the third-longest No. 1 run since the chart began. The only hits to lead longer: Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” (19 weeks) and Harry Styles’ “As It Was” (15).
“APT.” holds at No. 2 on the Global 200, following 12 weeks at No. 1 starting in November; Doechii’s “Anxiety” repeats at its No. 3 best; and Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s “Luther” rises 5-4, after reaching No. 3.
Plus, Warren’s “Ordinary” surges 12-5 for its first week in the Global 200’s top 10, with 48.1 million streams (up 25%) and 7,000 sold (up 17%) worldwide. Concurrently, he hits a new high with “Carry You Home” (134-87), while his “Burning Down” pushes 189-154.

Winning Global Force at the 2025 Women in Music event? That’s just like JENNIE. Surrounded by some of the industry’s most acclaimed female artists and executives, the BLACKPINK star accepted this year’s international honor on stage at Los Angeles’ YouTube Theater Saturday (March 29), giving special shoutouts to her bandmates, Woman of the Year Doechii and more.
Confessing that she was feeling “really nervous right now,” the Idol star — looking glamorous in a sparkling deep red gown — breathlessly gave her acceptance speech as passionate fans in the crowd screamed with excitement for her. “This is so special,” she said. “I’m inspired by all the women in this room and around the globe who continue to break barriers and make their mark on the world stage. This award is a tribute to every woman who dares to dream, create and shape the world with her vision,” JENNIE continued. “Women are such a powerful force, and when we come together, we uplift each other every step of the way.

“I’m so lucky and fortunate to work with so many talented people in my career—singers, songwriters, producers,” she added. “Doechii, I love you, and Kali (Uchis), I love you. I had these amazing women be on my album, and words cannot express how thankful I am.”
JENNIE also gave shoutouts to her team, label, and of course, “my BLACKPINK girls — without them, this journey would’ve never happened.”
Several other women were also honored at Saturday’s show, including Songwriter of the Year Gracie Abrams, Group of the Year aespa and Impact Award-winner Tyla. Of her prize, JENNIE told Billboard on the red carpet before the ceremony that “to be honored as Global Force is just so special.”
She also spoke about how meaningful it’s been to step into her solo era while her BLACKPINK bandmates also pursue their own independent projects. JENNIE’s debut album, Ruby — featuring the Doechii-assisted “ExtraL” and “Damn Right” with Uchis and Donald Glover — arrived March 7 and debuted at No. 7 on the Billboard 200. ROSÉ, LISA and JISOO have also dropped solo music in the past year-plus since the girl group has been on break.
“We talk about this all the time,” said the “Mantra” singer. “It’s amazing how we’re all doing our own thing. We have each other’s backs no matter what, and that’s such a special feeling. I miss them.”
JENNIE won’t have to miss her bandmates for long, though, as the foursome is set to reunite this summer for a global tour and is currently working on new music.
