U.S.; Ed Sheeran’s “Sapphire” starts at Nos. 8 and 7 on the respective rankings; and sombr’s “Back to Friends” hits the top 10 on Global Excl. U.S., rising 11-9, as it continues scaling the Global 200’s top 10.

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.

“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).
