\n\tHUNTR\/X also earns its second Global Excl. U.S. top 10 as \u201cHow It\u2019s Done\u201d rises 12-10. On the Global 200, it lifts 9-7 for a new best.<\/p>\n

\n\tPlus, Faheem Abdullah\u2019s \u201cSaiyaara\u201d debuts at No. 10 on the Global 200 and blasts 177-4 on Global Excl. U.S. His first top 10 on the charts is from the Hindi-language movie<\/a> of the same name that premiered July 18.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Billboard Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts, which began in September 2020 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.<\/p>\n

\n\tChart 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\u2019 calculations.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cGolden\u201d crowns the Global 200 with 98.5 million streams (up 20% week-over-week) and 8,000 sold (up 26%) worldwide July 18-24.<\/p>\n

\n\tAlex Warren\u2019s \u201cOrdinary\u201d rebounds 4-2 on the Global 200 after 10 weeks on top beginning in May, while two songs that debuted a week earlier descend: BLACKPINK\u2019s \u201cJump,\u201d down to No. 3 from the summit, and Justin Bieber\u2019s \u201cDaisies,\u201d which dips 3-4.<\/p>\n

\n\tSaja Boys\u2019 \u201cSoda Pop\u201d \u2014 also from KPop Demon Hunters \u2014 buzzes 6-5 for a new Global 200 high, becoming the act\u2019s second top five hit. Their \u201cYour Idol,\u201d down 5-6, has reached No. 3. \u201cSoda Pop\u201d drew 51.6 million streams (up 7%) and sold 4,000 (up 14%) in the tracking week.<\/p>\n

\n\tFaheem Abdullah\u2019s \u201cSaiyaara\u201d launches at No. 10 on the Global 200, vaulting 321% to 98 million streams and 778% to 1,000 sold worldwide. The first entry on the survey for the Indian artist also hits No. 1 on the India Songs<\/a> chart.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cGolden\u201d shines atop Global Excl. U.S.; \u201cJump\u201d falls to No. 2; and \u201cOrdinary\u201d holds at No. 3, after eight weeks at No. 1 starting in May,<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cSaiyaara\u201d skyrockets 177-4 on Global Excl. U.S., with the bulk of its streams from outside the U.S. (96.8 million, up 320%, of its 98 million worldwide). The song makes the third-greatest leap in the chart\u2019s history, with its 173-spot gain trailing only those of Official HIGE DANdism\u2019s \u201cSubtitle\u201d (186 places; 200-14, in 2022) and BTS\u2019 \u201cFilm Out\u201d (182 spots; 185-3, in 2021). As on the Global 200, \u201cSaiyaara\u201d is Abdullah\u2019s first Global Excl. U.S. top 10 via his first entry.<\/p>\n

\n\tRounding out the Global Excl. U.S. top five, \u201cDaisies\u201d backtracks 4-5 in its second week on the chart.<\/p>\n

\n\tPlus, \u201cHow It\u2019s Done\u201d rises 12-10 to become HUNTR\/X\u2019s second Global Excl. U.S. top 10 with 29 million streams (up 5%) and 1,000 sold (up 6%) beyond the U.S.<\/p>\n
