\n\tBTS<\/a>\u2019 \u201cSWIM\u201d tops the Billboard Global 200<\/a> and the Billboard Global Excl. U.S.<\/a> for a third week each. Two weeks ago, the song debuted<\/a> as the South Korean superstars\u2019 record-extending eighth No. 1 on each chart.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cSWIM\u201d leads the Global 200 with 83.3 million streams (down 21%) and 44,000 downloads sold (down 61%) worldwide April 3-9, according to Luminate.<\/p>\n

\n\tDominic Fike\u2019s \u201cBabydoll\u201d rises 3-2 for a new Global 200 best and Tame Impala and JENNIE\u2019s \u201cDracula\u201d sinks its fangs into the No. 3 spot, also up one place for a new high.<\/p>\n

\n\tOlivia Dean\u2019s \u201cMan I Need\u201d pushes 6-4 on the Global 200, after hitting No. 2, and PinkPantheress\u2019 \u201cStateside,\u201d with Zara Larsson, holds at No. 5 after it led for a week in March.<\/p>\n

\n\tElsewhere in the Global 200\u2019s top 10, \u201cChoosin\u2019 Texas\u201d gives Ella Langley<\/a> her first entry in the region, jumping 18-8 with 31.2 million streams and 11,000 sold worldwide (up 15% in each metric). As the hit crowns the U.S.-based Hot Country Songs chart for a 20th week, it becomes the 13th song since the Global 200 began in September 2020 to have led Hot Country Songs and reached the Global 200\u2019s top 10 (a feat that just 3% of all Global 200 top 10s have achieved).

\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 April 18, 2026, will update on Billboard.com Tuesday, April 14. 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 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. Luminate reviews and authenticates data. In partnership with Billboard, data deemed suspicious or unverifiable is removed, using established criteria, before final chart calculations are made and published.<\/p>\n
