Bruno Mars’ “Risk It All” launches at No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200 chart. The song, from the star singer-songwriter’s new album, The Romantic — which likewise starts atop the U.S.-based Billboard 200 — is his third Global 200 leader, and first on his own (since the chart began in 2020), after “Die With a Smile,” with Lady Gaga, dominated for 18 weeks in September 2024 through last May and “APT.,” with ROSÉ, ruled for 12 weeks in November 2024-February 2025.
Bad Bunny’s “DtMF” adds a fourth total and consecutive week at No. 1 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart. The song has led following his Super Bowl LX halftime show performance Feb. 8 in Santa Clara, Calif., where it was the closing cut in his set.
Plus, PinkPantheress’ “Stateside,” with Zara Larsson, flies 11-2 on the Global 200 and 15-2 on Global Excl. U.S. The song has heated up further since Alysa Liu skated to it in her exhibition performance at the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics Feb. 21, two days after she became the women’s figure skating champion, winning the first gold medal in the event for the U.S. in 24 years.
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.
“Risk It All” leads the Global 200 with 51.7 million streams and 9,000 sold worldwide in its first week of release (Feb. 27-March 5).
“Stateside” soars to No. 2 on the Global 200 with 52.4 million streams (up 60%) and 2,000 sold (up 14%) worldwide. PinkPantheress and Larsson each earn a second top 10 on the chart, and a new career-high rank, after “Boy’s a Liar, Pt. 2,” with Ice Spice (No. 3, 2023), and the revived “Lush Life” (No. 8, this January), respectively.
“DtMF” falls to No. 3 on the Global 200, after five weeks at No. 1 between January 2025 and last week; Olivia Dean’s “Man I Need” drops to No. 4 from its No. 2 best; and Mars’ “I Just Might,” the lead single from The Romantic, rebounds 15-5 after it debuted at its No. 4 high.
“DtMF” tops Global Excl. U.S. with 35.2 million streams (down 14%) and 1,000 sold (down 13%) outside the U.S.
“Stateside” pirouettes to No. 2 on Global Excl. U.S., becoming, as on the Global 200, PinkPantheress and Larsson’s second top 10 and highest-charting song each.
Taylor Swift’s “The Fate of Ophelia” falls 2-3 after eight weeks leading Global Excl. U.S. between October and February and “Man I Need” keeps at No. 4 after reaching No. 3.
Plus, “Risk It All” opens at No. 5 on Global Excl. U.S., where it’s Mars’ fifth top 10 (he boasts six on the Global 200) and “I Just Might” dances 18-7, after it debuted at its No. 4 peak.
