Plus, LE SSERAFIM and j-hope, of BTS, serve up a top 10 debut on both charts with “Spaghetti.”

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” leads the Global 200 with 120.8 million streams (down 2% week-over-week) and 13,000 sold (down 8%) worldwide in the week ending Oct. 30.

The entire Global 200’s top five holds in place: Taylor Swift’s “The Fate of Ophelia” at No. 2, after two weeks at No. 1 in October; her “Opalite” at No. 3, after hitting No. 2; Alex Warren’s “Ordinary” at No. 4, following 10 weeks on top beginning in May; and Olivia Dean’s “Man I Need” at No. 5, after reaching No. 4.

LE SSERAFIM and j-hope’s “Spaghetti” makes a piping hot start at No. 6 on the Global 200 with 48.4 million streams and 14,000 sold worldwide following its Oct. 24 release. LE SSERAFIM earns its first top 10 on the chart, while j-hope adds his second as a soloist; here’s an updated count of BTS members’ top 10 totals on the chart as soloists: Jung Kook (five); Jimin, JIN (three each); j-hope, V (two each); and Suga (one). BTS boasts 11 top 10s as a group.

“Golden” commands Global Excl. U.S. with 93.3 million streams (down 2%) and 7,000 sold (down 10%) beyond the U.S.

“The Fate of Ophelia” holds at No. 2 on Global Excl. U.S. after two weeks at the summit in October.

BTS has notched 11 top 10s as a group.
