BTS and BLACKPINK have grabbed high ranks on Billboard’s new charts that rank songs based on international streaming and sales!

On September 14, Billboard and MRC announced that they have launched two new weekly charts to rank the most popular tracks globally: the Billboard Global 200 chart and the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart.

Both charts are based on sales and streaming data from more than 200 territories, and the rankings are determined by a weighted formula that combines official-only streams on both subscription and ad-supported tiers of leading digital platforms with downloads from major online music retailers around the world.

The first charts reflect data from the tracking week of September 4 to September 10. While the full rankings will be announced on September 15, the top 10 on each of the inaugural charts have been revealed.
