Global 200 update time! Not a lot this week. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jSdctFcLyQl6HJYoi9Jr2OHFGkn-TBnxWVFNxMlzrto/edit?usp=sharing- Although it already accomplished this on the Excl. US chart, "Espresso" by Sabrina Carpenter nabs a new #1 for the United States on the main chart this week. - June 22nd headlines now. • With a big, Army-backed debut, Jungkook takes the South Korean crown from the Korean members of Aespa this week due to "Never Let Go" outdebuting "Supernova" by a smidge. • Argentina's slump officially ends as "Real Gangsta Love" by Argentine rapper Trueno starts to smash. It debuts high on the main chart, bringing Argentina back there, and rises well over a hundred spots on the Excl. US chart, taking Argentina from Emilia there. • Sơn Tùng M-TP, the current Vietnamese record holder, puts Vietnam back on the global charts after a long, long hiatus, as "Đừng làm trái tim anh đau" debuts near the bottom of the Excl. US chart. • Artemas's stability means "I Like the Way You Kiss Me" takes the United Kingdom back from Central Cee once the latter starts showing some post-debut weakness. • In a similar vein, "Greedy" retakes Canada and "Take On Me" retakes Norway on the main chart this week. • Uruguay gets its second Global 200 entry ever, just a couple months after its first, (and just a couple of weeks after that song fell off) with the La Planta's "Hoy" debuting at the very bottom of the Excl. US chart.

Welcome to what could easily be the slowest week of news for the Global 200 in its history. Only two things happened! It's kind of impressive. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jSdctFcLyQl6HJYoi9Jr2OHFGkn-TBnxWVFNxMlzrto/edit?usp=sharing- Sabrina Carpenter replaces herself at #1 on both charts, giving another American victory at the top. Of the sixteen songs to top the main Global 200 chart in 2024, fifteen have been by Americans. On the Excl. US chart, the ratio is not much better at eight out of ten. - And the one June 29th specific headline... • Jungkook's last single falls very hard, which is surprising considering his performance last year, and it gives room for "Supernova" by Aespa to easily reclaim the title of biggest Korean song in the world.

Happy Independence Day! To celebrate, let's talk about a chart that literally excludes the US. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jSdctFcLyQl6HJYoi9Jr2OHFGkn-TBnxWVFNxMlzrto/edit?usp=sharing- The Spotify recurrent streams giveth again. Latin classic "Hips Don't Lie" featuring Haitian rapper Wyclef Jean posted enough gains to give Haiti a new all-time peak on the global charts. On the main chart, Haiti's peak rises from #193 to #174, and on the Excl. US chart, it rises from #169 to #132. - Now we can move onto the July 6th specifics, where there is a lot of shuffling to be seen. • Feid, with arguably the biggest Spanish hit of the year, has held onto the Colombian crown since winter, but he is finally dethroned on these charts through the expected enormous debut of "Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido" by Karol G. • Another unsurprising smash comes from NewJeans, whose "Supernatural" debuts high enough on both charts to steal back South Korea from Aespa (and Australia from themselves). • In a rare K-pop move that only exists on the main chart, NOT the Excl. US chart, "Magnetic" shows enough late gains to rise over "Supernova" this week, allowing the Japanese members of Illit to overtake the Japanese member of Aespa to be the biggest from Japan. • New Zealand hits the global charts with, if memory serves right, their first song to not be an old, recurrent streaming hit or through a K-pop group member since... the last time Lorde charted. This is, of course, through the Internet's favorite kiwi, Lorde, who features on "The Girl, So Confusing Version with Lorde" by Charli XCX. • Coldplay have a new single out, and their constant presence on the global charts made it a certainty it would do well. Many readers will probably be pleased to hear Scottish bassist Guy Berryman replaces Lewis Capaldi to rule Scotland for the first time this year. • Northern Irish Jordan Adetunji gives UK subunit Nothern Ireland its second global hit since the chart's inception with "Kehlani."

Even if they're all not too big, there are a bunch of new peaks to talk about in this edition of Global 200 updates. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jSdctFcLyQl6HJYoi9Jr2OHFGkn-TBnxWVFNxMlzrto/edit?usp=sharing- Let's start with Iran, who only debuted on the charts a couple of months ago and are now keeping the momentum up. Familiar Iranian face Sevdaliza debuts at #111 with "Alibi," a collab with Brazilian Pabllo Vittar and French Yseult. This just barely edges out the #112 peak of her previous hit "Ride or Die, Pt. 2" to become the new all-time Iranian peak. On the Excl. US chart, the previous #66 peak for Iran is beaten by a strong #53 debut. - Vaguely defined UK subdivision Northern Ireland gets its second piece of news in Global 200 history. The re-recorded "Taylor's Version" of Taylor Swift's old minor hit "The Last Time" hit the Global 200 back in 2021 when the Red re-recording dropped, and it once again featured Northern Irish frontman of Snow Patrol, Gary Lightbody. This week, the all-time peak for Northern Ireland is now represented by a fully current song, with "Kehlani" by Northern Irish Jordan Adetunji rising to #59, just beating Gary Lightbody's old #61 peak. On the Excl. US chart, Adetunji's #116 beats Lightbody's #124. - Speaking of old hits, "Hips Don't Lie" still has some recurrent momentum, meaning Wyclef Jean's presence on it moves Haiti's peak from #174 to #165 on the main chart and from #132 to #125 on the Excl. US chart. - I would be remiss to not mention the new #1 on the Excl. US chart, one of the only chart toppers of the year not by an American, with "Rockstar" by Thai rapper Lisa debuting there. She, of course, also takes the weekly Thailand crown from Chiquita and Pharita of BabyMonster, who have held it for a full season. - Now for the July 13th specifics. • As implied above, Pabllo Vittar now wears the Brazilian crown on both charts (and gives Brazil its highest charter in a while). Sevdaliza also overtakes Tiësto and W&W to be the highest Dutch person on the charts this week. • The big debut of "Smeraldo Garden Marching Band" by Koreans Jimin and Loco easily nabs South Korea from "Supernatural" by NewJeans. • Coldplay's new single from last week, despite holding on surprisingly well, was not strong enough to beat out their monster catalog streams. In fact, it seems to have boosted them, with "Viva la Vida" now at the top for both Scotland and Wales. Perhaps Lewis Capaldi's iron grip over Scotland has truly loosened. • Camila Cabello once again puts Cuba back on the charts with her new album debuting one song, and what else could it be but the Drake collab? • Norway on the Excl. US chart goes back to "Take On Me" by A-ha for the first time since the debut of Kygo's "Whatever" in February.

On this episode of Global 200 updates, smaller hits with good momentum shine. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jSdctFcLyQl6HJYoi9Jr2OHFGkn-TBnxWVFNxMlzrto/edit?usp=sharing- Iran keeps making 2024 its year. Or rather, Sevdaliza keeps making 2024 her year. Her debut from last week, "Alibi," leaps from #111 to #52 on the main chart this week, moving the general Iranian peak in the same way. The jump is from #53 to #32 on the Excl. US chart. In either case, Iran breaks through impressive thresholds. - Northern Ireland also keeps its momentum up through the Excl. US chart only. In fact, "Kehlani" dropped a few spots on the main chart this week, but Jordan Adetunji's hit posted great gains elsewhere, letting him bring the Northern Irish peak on that secondary chart from #116 up to #93. Every UK subunit has now hit the top half of either chart. - Now for some July 20th specifics. • In a move which I'm relieved only happened now due to how hard it was to research the nationalities of the three previous unknowns involved, Germany changes hands. "Move" by German DJ Adam Port (with producer Stryv and vocalist Malachiii, both Americans) jumps up a quarter of each chart to fully leapfrog the "Pedro" remix by German DJs Jaxomy and Agatino Romero. • Can you believe this week is the FIRST time India cracks the main chart this year? The terrible drought is broken by the super high debut of "Tauba Tauba" by Indian rapper Karan Aujla. • Illit's scary stability with "Magnetic" allows them to take the South Korean crown back from Jimin and Loco this week (and the Japanese crown back from Aespa on the Excl. US chart). • With the music video boost, "Not like Us" by Kendrick Lamar continues its overkill combo and returns to the #1 spot on the main chart, taking back the American crown from Sabrina Carpenter there.

Oops I straight up forgot this yesterday. Luckily there are a lot of exciting movements on this week's Global 200 to make up for that! docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jSdctFcLyQl6HJYoi9Jr2OHFGkn-TBnxWVFNxMlzrto/edit?usp=sharing- Iran keeps winning with its biggest jump yet. "Alibi" moves up from #52 to #19 on the main chart and from #32 to #11 on the Excl. US chart. Iranian-Dutch Sevdaliza not only brings Iran into the top twenty for the first time, but she comes very close to the all-time peak for the Netherlands currently held by Tiësto on both charts. Considering the crazy momentum "Alibi" is showing, it isn't out of the question. - Shakira's big catalog hit "Hips Don't Lie" also shows some recurrent momentum, and Wyclef Jean's appearance on it means Haiti humbly moves its all-time peak from #165 to #135 on the main chart and #125 to #89 on the Excl. US chart. (This also means Haiti no longer has the lowest peak among charting countries on the main chart. That dubious title now goes to Iceland.) - Who wants some July 27th specifics? • Another consequence of the success of "Alibi" involves France. French singer Yseult has a verse on it, and that means she overtakes David Guetta on both charts to be the biggest artist from France this week. • Only on the main chart, Myles Smith's "Stargazing" rises just enough to outrank Artemas, making it the first song to beat out "I Like the Way You Kiss Me" for biggest British tune in the world NOT from a strong but short debut to do so since the start of Artemas's reign. On the Excl. US chart, Artemas easily continues his four-month-long iron grip over the UK. • Also only on the main chart, Megan Thee Stallion's "Mamushi" shows enough viral potential for guest rapper Yuki Chiba to rise over Illit's Japanese members and become the highest representative from Japan this week. • Ez Mil, a feature on the new Eminem album, debuts low on the main chart, but it's still enough to say the Philippines are back on.

We have another news cycle full of minor but still novel peaks this week on the Global 200. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jSdctFcLyQl6HJYoi9Jr2OHFGkn-TBnxWVFNxMlzrto/edit?usp=sharing- Breaking news! As it turns out, Han of Stray Kids spent enough of his childhood in Malaysia to count as a representative of the country in my spreadsheet. This means Malaysia should've debuted over a year ago, but I didn't look closely enough at each individual Stray Kids member at the time. I'll spend some time this week going back and editing the timeline sheet to account for this, but for now, here are this week's Malaysia stats with Han in mind. On the main chart, debuting "Chk Chk Boom" ties at #10 with "Lalalala" from earlier this year to be the highest Malaysian peaks of all time on the main chart due to Han's presence. On the Excl. US chart, "Chk Chk Boom" debuts at #4 to beat "Lalalala" and its #6 debut. - Iran keeps it up, though the gains aren't as spectacular now that it's smashed into the upper echelons of the charts. This week, taking the Iranian peak with it, Sevdaliza's "Alibi" moves from #19 to #16 on the main chart (from #11 to #9 on the Excl. US chart). - "Kehlani" by Jordan Adetunji regains some momentum, moving Northern Ireland's peak from #59 to #57 on the main chart (from #93 to #79 on the Excl. US chart). - Only on the main chart, Haiti posts the smallest gain possible as "Hips Don't Lie" moves to #134 from #135. - South Korea returns to the top of the chart after one of its longest #1 droughts, with Jimin's "Who" debuting there twice. - Now to get to the August 3rd specifics. • The big Stray Kids debut mentioned earlier also becomes the biggest song with an Australian presence on it in the world due to the presences of Bang Chan and Felix. • Lots of Latin returns. The Dominican Republic back through the debut of "Hay Lupita" by Lomiiel, and Boza and Elena Rose on "Orion" bring Panama and Venezuela, respectively, back on the Excl. US chart.

On this episode of Global 200 updates, we set up some surprise tools that will help us later: Songs with the momentum to imminently break their nations' records. Also sorry for being two days late, I straight up forgot. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jSdctFcLyQl6HJYoi9Jr2OHFGkn-TBnxWVFNxMlzrto/edit?usp=sharing- First of all, there are two tiny new peaks to point out. The first is Iran, whose representative song "Alibi" (and therefore Iran's Peak) moves up just one spot on either chart: #16 to #15 on the main chart and #9 to #8 on the Excl. US chart. - Then there's Jordan Adetunji's "Kehlani" which is stable on the main chart but makes a slight jump from #79 to #72 on the Excl. US chart, bringing the Northern Irish peak up with it. - Now for those August 10th specifics. • "Birds of a Feather" replaces "Espresso" to become the biggest American song on both charts, one of the only leaders of the United States to not debut there this year. • Indian rapper Hanumankind, supported by fellow Indian producer Kalmi, debut their song "Big Dawgs" with enough rare American streams to easily overtake "Tauba Tauba" by Karan Aujla for the Indian crown (though only on the main chart). Not only is this some rare south Indian representation on the global charts, it is only about ten spots on the main chart lower than the all-time Indian peak currently held by "Lut Gaye," and that American attention could do a lot to push it over the edge. • The Netherlands also has its record in danger. Sevdaliza's earlier-mentioned "Alibi" represents both Iran and the Netherlands because of her, and on both charts, it is only THREE ranks away from the all-time Dutch peak: "The Business" by Tiësto. • The Philippines is back on the Excl. US chart for non-Black Eyed Peas reasons for the first time in over a year. "Sining" by Filipinos Dionela and Jay R is currently doing very well on streaming and might have the momentum to stay a while, sadly a rarity for most of Southeast Asia.

Once again a real late update from me, and I feel bad because there's big news for one of the biggest countries in the world. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jSdctFcLyQl6HJYoi9Jr2OHFGkn-TBnxWVFNxMlzrto/edit?usp=sharing- "Big Dawgs" by Indians Hanumankind and Kalmi rises up to #17 on the main chart and #13 on the Excl. US chart, utterly smashing the previous Indian record. "Lut Gaye" by Jubin Nautiyal previously peaked at #47 on the main chart and #23 on the Excl. US chart, and it's somehow held on to that peak since 2021. Many fellow Bollywood songs have come near, but none were quite able to close the margins (especially poor "Arjan Vailly" which would have cinched the all-time peak if not for Christmas songs). "Big Dawgs" has the benefit of being a hip-hop song that's appealing a lot to Americans right now, giving it the numbers to break the second most populous country into the top twenty for the first time. - The second wind of "Kehlani" by Northern Irish singer Jordan Adetunji is bigger than ever, bringing Northern Ireland's peak up from #57 to #22 (#72 to #38 the Excl. US chart). This is probably the first time in a long while a Northern Irish musician has a way bigger hit than any Scot or Welsh at the same moment. - The United States manifests another chart-topper with "Birds of a Feather" by Billie Eilish, just stable enough to go to #1 on both global charts this week. - Some August 17th specific headlines. • Speaking of Billie Eilish, arguably her bigger story this week is her appearance on the remix of "Guess" by Charli XCX, which is enough of a smash to debut above "Stargazing" by Myles Smith on both charts and take the British crown for the week. • Current all-time Belgian peak holder Lost Frequencies puts Belgium back on the main chart with a remix of an old Tom Odell song. On the Excl. US chart, the song rises high enough to overtake a remix of an old Dido song by Belgian duo Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike. • Spain returns to the Excl. US chart after a long absence with 2003 hit "Rosas" by Spanish pop band la Oreja de Van Gogh suddenly posting huge recurrent streaming numbers.

Nothing much on this week's Global 200 update except continued momentum. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jSdctFcLyQl6HJYoi9Jr2OHFGkn-TBnxWVFNxMlzrto/edit?usp=sharing- "Big Dawgs" still has steam, so Hanumankind and Kalmi bring India's peak into the top ten for the first time: up to #9 from #17 on the main chart and up to #8 from #13 on the Excl. US chart. - The second wind of "Kehlani" turns out REALLY big. Jordan Adetunji causes Northern Ireland to barely scrape the top twenty: up to #21 from #22 on the main chart and up to #26 from #38 on the Excl. US chart. - Just one August 24th-specific headline to cover. • Neton Vega replaces himself as this week's Mexican leader with "La Patrulla" turning out to be the the big hit from Peso Pluma's album, moving above "Si No Quieres No" with Luis R Conriquez.

Slow week for the Global 200 updates as the exciting hits from counties with instable new peaks have settled into place. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jSdctFcLyQl6HJYoi9Jr2OHFGkn-TBnxWVFNxMlzrto/edit?usp=sharing- Here are a few August 31st specific headlines instead. • "New Woman" by Thai Lisa and Spanish Rosalía causes some movements for both nations. Lisa, of course, replaces herself on "Rockstar" for Thailand's weekly crown while Rosalía brings Spain back to the main Global 200 for the first time since May, a drought of Spaniards not seen since the chart's early days. On the Excl. US chart, she replaces la Oreja de Van Gogh for the crown. • Would you believe this is the first week in a year Australia's highest song on the Global 200 is neither K-pop, Christmas, nor by an Aussie producer who mostly just remixed a non-Aussie song? Stray Kids' "Chk Chk Boom" falls hard (though not as hard as previous Stray Kids hits) and loses out the Australian crown to "Nights like This" by the Kid Laroi due to some crazy good American streaming. That's why this only applies to the main chart; Stray Kids still have it on the Excl. US chart. • Meanwhile, only on the Excl. US chart, another very long streak is broken. The very multi-cultural "Santa" with Puerto Rican guest star Rauw Alejandro has held that Puerto Rico crown on both charts since May, but it's finally beaten by a song that's been hovering just under it for almost just as long: The so-called "Red" remix of "WYA" by J Abdiel and iZaak which features Yan Block, Jay Wheeler, and De la Rose, all five of them representing Puerto Rico.

Here's the update for the fourth birthday of the Billboard Global 200! docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jSdctFcLyQl6HJYoi9Jr2OHFGkn-TBnxWVFNxMlzrto/edit?usp=sharing- Palestine is not only back on the global charts, it has a new peak to show off. This was probably bound to happen, considering current events. Coldplay's new single "We Pray" pulls guest vocalists from all over the world, including prolific Palestinian singer Elyanna. On the Excl. US chart, "We Pray" debuts at #98, allowing Elyanna to easily smash through the previous Palestinian peak song: "Better Believe" by famed Weeknd associate and Palestinian rapper Belly, which hit #154 back in 2021. "Better Believe" (as you might expect from a song with Weeknd and Young Thug guest verses) got way higher on the main Global 200 due to American support, so it retains the title of Palestine's peak there. Elyanna also has Chilean ancestry, which doesn't count for the spreadsheet but does show how much of a banner year this has been for Chile. - The United States replaces itself at the top of both charts again. This time it's not from a debut but rather Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars leapfrogging Billie Eilish. That's the 15th American chart topper on the main chart this year. - Now for those September 7th specifics. • "We Pray" isn't done serving up the headlines yet. Another featured artist on the track is Tini, representing Argentina. In an inverse of the Palestine news, this only affects the main chart, where Trueno's "Real Gangsta Love" has fallen hard enough for Tini to claim the Argentine crown. • On the Excl. US chart, Felix and Bang Chan of Stray Kids lose out Australia to the stability of "Stumblin' In" by Cyril. • Also only on the Excl. US chart, Iranian-Swedish vocalist Arash, featured on up-and-coming EDM hit "I Adore You," debuts above Avicii to take the Swedish crown for the week.
