“We Don’t Talk About Bruno,” by Carolina Gaitán, Mauro Castillo, Adassa, Rhenzy Feliz, Diane Guerrero, Stephanie Beatriz and the Encanto Cast, from Disney’s hit film Encanto, spends a second week at No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200.
Meanwhile, GAYLE‘s debut hit “abcdefu” adds a sixth week at No. 1 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. survey.
Plus, Nicki Minaj and Lil Baby‘s “Do We Have a Problem?” launches at No. 7 on the Global 200 and Mahmood and BLANCO’s “Brividi” blasts from No. 67 to No. 7 on the Global Excl. U.S. chart.
The two charts (which in September marked their first year) rank songs based on streaming and sales activity culled from more than 200 territories around the world, as compiled by MRC Data. The Billboard Global 200 is inclusive of worldwide data and the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart comprises data from territories excluding the U.S.
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.
