Los Angeles, California (June 23, 2025)- Alex Warren’s breakout hit “Ordinary” continues to dominate the world stage, securing its eighth consecutive week at No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200 and a sixth week atop the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart. The emotional ballad, which has resonated with audiences for its heartfelt lyrics and stripped-back production, remains the most popular song globally—proof of its extraordinary staying power in a competitive musical landscape.
According to Luminate, “Ordinary” earned 68.9 million streams (down 2%) and 11,000 digital sales (down 5%) worldwide during the tracking week of June 13–19. Outside of the United States, the song pulled in 50.4 million streams and 4,000 sales, maintaining its stronghold on the international market.
Close behind is the powerhouse collaboration “Killin’ It Girl” by j-hope of BTS and GloRilla, which debuted at No. 2 on Global Excl. U.S. and No. 3 on the Global 200. Released June 13, the track amassed 55.1 million global streams and 43,000 sales, with 48.6 million streams and 25,000 sales coming from outside the U.S. The song’s release was boosted by j-hope’s live performance during BTS’s reunion concert in Gyeonggi Province, South Korea, marking a major solo milestone for the rapper and producer.
The debut also marks j-hope’s first top 10 solo entry on the Global 200, adding to his chart legacy. With this feat, all seven BTS members have now charted top 10 hits as soloists on the global charts. For GloRilla, “Killin’ It Girl” becomes her first career top 10 on both global rankings—a major step in her international crossover.
Sabrina Carpenter’s “Manchild” maintains strong momentum in its second week, holding steady at No. 2 on the Global 200 while dipping to No. 4 on Global Excl. U.S. after debuting at No. 2. Meanwhile, long-running hits by Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars (“Die With a Smile,” now No. 3 and No. 4, respectively) and ROSÉ and Bruno Mars (“APT.,” now No. 5 on both charts) continue to rank high after previously enjoying extended reigns at No. 1.
Another notable mover this week is Ravyn Lenae, whose dreamy and soulful track “Love Me Not” jumped from No. 11 to No. 7 on the Global 200. Fueled in part by virality on TikTok, the song earned 39.4 million streams (up 11%) and 1,000 sales (up 4%), earning Lenae her first top 10 hit on the chart and affirming her rise as one of R&B’s most compelling new voices.
