'BbY WOW' Holds Global Chart Crown for Third Consecutive Week
The collaboration between Karol G, Judeline, and rusowsky remains No. 1 on both the Billboard Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts, earning 53.3 million streams worldwide in the latest tracking week. Ella Langley's "Choosin' Texas" stays at No. 2 on the Global 200, while ADÉLA's "Ain't in LA" climbs to No. 5. The song marks the first chart-topper for Judeline and rusowsky.
The song’s third week atop both global charts extends Karol G’s recent dominance, following her earlier multi-week reign with “TQG” in 2023. For Judeline and rusowsky, this marks their first-ever chart-topper, a milestone that elevates their profiles internationally. The track’s resilience is notable given stiff competition, including Shakira and Burna Boy’s World Cup anthem, which previously held the top spot for seven weeks before slipping.
ADÉLA’s “Ain’t in LA” continues its rapid ascent, jumping to No. 5 just one week after her first top-10 entry. Meanwhile, Dua Lipa’s “Training Season” reaches new peaks on both charts, and BTS’s “Swim” climbs back toward the upper tier after an earlier eight-week run at No. 1. The tracking period reflects steady streaming growth, with global consumption up slightly week over week.
This sustained chart run could reinforce the commercial viability of cross-genre collaborations, particularly those blending Latin and alternative pop sounds, potentially inspiring more label investments in similar pairings. For emerging artists like Judeline and rusowsky, the exposure may translate into broader touring and streaming opportunities. However, the dominance of a few tracks may also narrow playlist rotation, affecting smaller acts’ visibility in an increasingly concentrated global market.
