Jung Kook’s “Seven,” featuring Latto, adds a third week at No. 1 on both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts (dated Aug. 12). Two weeks earlier, the song became the first leader on the lists for a member of BTS as a soloist.

Meanwhile, Travis Scott debuts three songs in the Global 200’s top 10: “Meltdown,” featuring Drake, at No. 2; “FE!N,” featuring Playboi Carti (No. 3); and “Hyaena” (No. 10). “FE!N” and “Meltdown” concurrently start at Nos. 7 and 8, respectively, on Global Excl. U.S.

The Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts, which started in September 2020, 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.

Chart 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’ calculations.

For a second week, three songs from the Barbie soundtrack, Barbie: The Album, infuse the Global 200’s top 10: Billie Eilish’s “What Was I Made For?,” which becomes the top-charting such hit (7-4, up 19% to 56.7 million streams worldwide); Dua Lipa’s “Dance the Night” (up 8-6 for a new high); and Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice’s “Barbie World,” with Aqua (down to No. 7 from its No. 6 best).
