\n\tPlus, two Michael Jackson<\/a> classics gain in the charts\u2019 top 10: \u201cBillie Jean\u201d and \u201cBeat It,\u201d sparked by the success of the hit box office biopic Michael.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cBeauty and a Beat\u201d holds atop the Global 200 with 59.2 million streams (down 15% week over week) and 2,000 sold (down 18%) worldwide May 1-7, according to Luminate. Bieber played the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, Calif., on both April 11<\/a> and April 18<\/a>, with the song, a No. 5 hit on the U.S.-based Billboard Hot 100 in 2013, part of his April 11 set.<\/p>\n

\n\tBTS\u2019 \u201cSwim\u201d holds at No. 2 on the Global 200 after spending its first four weeks on the chart at No. 1 in April.<\/p>\n

\n\tAs Michael continues to thrill at the box office<\/a> following its April 24 premiere, Jackson\u2019s \u201cBillie Jean\u201d jumps 8-4 and \u201cBeat It\u201d bounds 16-7 on the Global 200. The songs, both at new highs, drew 48.1 million and 36.9 million streams worldwide, respectively (each up 31%). They ruled the Hot 100 for seven and three weeks, respectively, in 1983, with both from his landmark Thriller album. They mark the late King of Pop\u2019s first two Global 200 top 10s since the chart began in 2020.<\/p>\n

\n\tElsewhere in the Global 200\u2019s top five, Tame Impala and JENNIE\u2019s \u201cDracula\u201d holds at No. 4 after reaching No. 2 and Olivia Rodrigo\u2019s \u201cDrop Dead\u201d falls 3-5, two weeks after it debuted at No. 1.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe 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.<\/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\tThe latest charts, dated May 16, 2026, will update on Billboard.com tomorrow, May 12. For both tallies, the top 100 titles are available to all readers on Billboard.com, while the complete 200-title rankings are visible on Billboard Pro, Billboard\u2019s subscription-based service. For all chart news, you can follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram.<\/p>\n

\n\tLuminate, the independent data provider to the Billboard charts, completes a thorough review of all data submissions used in compiling the weekly chart rankings.
