Karol G & Shakira's "TQG" debuts at #1 on the Billboard Global 200 (158.4M streams)

[Hector]

Internationally:

 

 

Karol G and Shakira’s “TQG” soars in at No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200, with 158.4 million streams and 10,000 sold worldwide in the Feb. 24-March 2 tracking week. The collaboration is from Karol G’s new album Mañana Será Bonito, which debuts at No. 1 on the U.S.-based Billboard 200, becoming the first all-Spanish-language leader by a woman in the chart’s history.

 

Notably, the song starts with the ninth-best streaming week since the Global 200 began (with seven of the top 10 such frames by female acts).

 

Biggest Worldwide Streaming Weeks in Global 200 History:
289.2 million, “Butter,” BTS, June 5, 2021
217.1 million, “Flowers,” Miley Cyrus, Feb. 4, 2023
212.1 million, “Pink Venom,” BLACKPINK, Sept. 3, 2022
185.6 million, “Flowers,” Miley Cyrus, Feb. 11, 2023
179.1 million, “Flowers,” Miley Cyrus, Jan. 28, 2023
178.2 million, “Easy on Me,” Adele, Oct. 30, 2021
170.8 million, “Permission To Dance,” BTS, July 24, 2021
169.8 million, “Butter,” BTS, June 12, 2021
158.4 million, “TQG,” Karol G & Shakira, March 11, 2023
152.8 million, “Shut Down,” BLACKPINK, Oct. 1, 2022

 

Karol G claims her first Global 200 No. 1 among four top 10s, following “Provenza” (No. 6, May 2022); “MAMIII,” with Becky G (No. 4, March 2022); and “Bichota” (No. 7, January 2021).

 

Shakira also scores her first Global 200 leader since the list began, after her and Bizarrap’s “Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53” debuted at its No. 2 peak (where it ranked for three weeks) in January, marking her first top 10; it slips 5-7 on the latest list.

 

As on the Global 200, Karol G and Shakira’s “TQG” debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart, with 129.7 million streams and 3,000 sold outside the U.S. Feb. 24-March 2. It’s likewise each act’s first Global Excl. U.S. leader, among five and three top 10s, respectively.

 

The Weeknd and Ariana Grande’s “Die for You” roars 19-2 on the Global 200, up 250% to 109.1 million streams and 984% to 15,000 sold worldwide, after Grande was added on its remix, released Feb. 24. The song was originally released by The Weeknd solo in 2016 on his album Starboy and has resurged sparked by interaction on TikTok (which does not presently contribute directly to Billboard’s charts). That buzz helped lead to the song’s current label promotion.

 

The Weeknd adds his ninth Global 200 top 10 and Grande achieves her fifth. They led together for a week in May 2021 with “Save Your Tears,” also after Grande joined for a remixed version.

 

Miley Cyrus’ “Flowers” drops to No. 3 on the Global 200 after spending its first six weeks on the chart at No. 1. Still, it logs its seventh consecutive week of over 100 million global streams (101.5 million, down 8%) – extending its unprecedented run for the most frames above that threshold from a song’s debut chart week. Overall, the track boasts the best such streak since The Kid LAROI and Justin Bieber’s “Stay” linked nine weeks over 100 million globally in 2021.

 

Miley Cyrus’ “Flowers” descends to No. 2 on Global Excl. U.S. after reigning in its first six weeks on the chart; The Weeknd and Ariana Grande’s “Die for You” charges 28-3, up 286% to 77.7 million streams and 2,086% to 5,000 sold, becoming the acts’ seventh and fifth top 10s, respectively; Bizarrap and Shakira’s “Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53” recedes to No. 4 after six weeks at its No. 2 high; and SZA’s “Kill Bill” falls 3-5, after reaching No. 2.

 

Also in the Global Excl. U.S. top 10, Yandel and Feid’s “Yandel 150” climbs 11-10, powered by 36.8 million streams (up 8%) beyond the U.S. Yandel, from Puerto Rico, and Feid, from Colombia, each earn their first top 10 placement on the survey.

 

Shakira has the #1 SONG IN THE WORLD  So much for haters pretending she's not global. The fact Sessions, Vol. 53 never could hit #1 behind Flowers but TQG dethrones Flowers from #1 is a kiii

As we start off Women’s History Month, it’s nice to see that the charts are topped by several recent successes in womens’ music. SOS by SZA has 3.1B US Total On-Demand (audio and video) streams, and was #1 on the Billboard 200 for 10 out of the 12 weeks since its release in December. What’s more is that in the week ending February 24, 2023, SZA crossed 10B all-time Global On-Demand Audio streams, joining just 72 other artists - including 17 other women - to have crossed the 10B all-time Global On-Demand Audio stream threshold.

 

“Kill Bill” from SOS is #1 in US on-demand audio this year, with 259 million ODA streams year-to-date. Right behind it is the recent hit single from Miley Cyrus, “Flowers,” in #2, with 222 million ODA streams year-to-date. The charts haven’t seen such a strong reign of new songs by women since November 2021, when Adele released “Easy On Me” and Taylor Swift released “All Too Well (Taylor’s Version).” Both Miley Cyrus’s “Flowers” and SZA’s “Kill Bill” are also the #1 and #2 in on-demand audio streams worldwide year-to-date: “Flowers” has amassed 848m streams and “Kill Bill” has 644m, representing a sizable margin over 2023’s #3 song, “Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53” by Shakira & BZRP that currently has 478 million ODA streams YTD.

 

 

With video streams included, "Flowers" has surpassed 1 BILLION STREAMS WORLDWIDE with the tally at 1,069,600,000
