Meanwhile, Bizarrap and Daddy Yankee’s “Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 0/66” debuts in the top 10 of both tallies and Rosalía and Yahritza y Su Esencia’s “La Perla” launches in the Global Excl. U.S. top 10.

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.

“Golden” tops the Global 200 with 110 million streams (down 6% week-over-week) and 12,000 sold (down 13%) worldwide in the week ending Nov. 13.

The song boasts the third-longest command since the Global 200 began in September 2020. Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” has ruled for 19 weeks since that December and Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ “Die With a Smile” dominated for 18 weeks starting in September 2024. (“Christmas” dashes 43-18 up the latest Global 200.)

Taylor Swift’s “The Fate of Ophelia” holds at No. 2 on the Global 200, after two weeks at No. 1 in October; Alex Warren’s “Ordinary” is steady at No. 3, following 10 weeks on top beginning in May; Olivia Dean’s “Man I Need” rises from No. 5 back to its No. 4 best; and Swift’s “Opalite” slips 4-5, after hitting No. 2.

Bizarrap and Daddy Yankee’s “Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 0/66” enters the Global 200 at No. 8 with 42.8 million streams and 2,000 sold worldwide Nov. 7-13 following its Nov. 5 release. Bizarrap earns his fourth top 10 on the chart, after his series’ “Vol. 52,” with Quevedo, reigned for four weeks beginning in July 2022; “Vol. 53,” with Shakira, rose to No. 2 in January 2023; and “Vol. 55,” with Peso Pluma, hit No. 2 in June 2023. Daddy Yankee earns his first top 10.

“Golden” leads Global Excl. U.S. with 84.8 million streams (down 5%) and 7,000 sold (down 6%) beyond the U.S.

As on the Global 200, “Golden” has the third-longest No. 1 run on Global Excl. U.S., trailing only ROSÉ and Bruno Mars’ “APT.” and “Die With a Smile,” which led for 19 and 17 weeks, respectively, in 2024 into this year.

“The Fate of Ophelia” repeats at No. 2 on Global Excl. U.S. after two weeks on top in October; “Ordinary” rebounds 5-3 after eight weeks at No. 1 starting in May; “Man I Need” pushes 7-4 for a new high; and Kenshi Yonezu’s “Iris Out” descends 3-5, after reaching No. 2.

“Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 0/66” begins on the Global 200 at No. 6 led by 39.4 million streams outside the U.S. Bizarrap adds his sixth top 10 on the chart, after “Vol. 52” (No. 1, six weeks, 2022); “Vol. 53” (No. 2, 2023); “Vol. 55” (No. 1, one week, 2023); “Vol. 57,” with Milo J (No. 10, 2023); and “Vol. 58,” with Young Miko (No. 5, 2024). Daddy Yankee notches his second top 10.

Plus, Rosalía and Yahritza y Su Esencia’s “La Perla” debuts at No. 9 on Global Excl. U.S. powered by 27.6 million streams outside the U.S. Rosalía posts her sixth top 10 and Yahritza y Su Esencia, its first. The song is from Rosalía’s new album, LUX, which starts as her first top 10 on the U.S.-based Billboard 200.
