The latest charts’ upper reaches also sport notable action for a revived Justin Bieber classic and Ella Langley’s smash.
“Swim” tops the Global 200 with 73 million streams (down 12% week over week) and 22,000 downloads sold (down 51%) worldwide April 10-16, according to Luminate. It leads Global Excl. U.S. with 63.4 million streams (down 12%) and 10,000 sold (down 50%) outside the U.S.
Bieber’s “Beauty and a Beat,” featuring Nicki Minaj, blasts onto the Global 200 at No. 4 and Global Excl. U.S. at No. 3, powered on the former by 44.2 million streams — up from just under 10 million the week before — and 3,000 sold worldwide. The song, a No. 6 hit on the U.S.-based Billboard Hot 100 in 2012, was part of his buzzy Coachella performance April 11, a hybrid set that mixed proper live songs with clips of his early hits played directly from YouTube. Bieber adds his ninth top 10 on both global charts.
Meanwhile, Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” climbs 8-5 on the Global 200 with 36.7 million streams (up 18%) and 12,000 sold worldwide (up 13%). As the hit crowns the U.S.-based Hot Country Songs chart for a 21st week, it becomes just the 10th title since the Global 200 began in September 2020 to have led Hot Country Songs and reached the Global 200’s top five:

The Billboard Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts 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.
The latest charts, dated April 25, 2026, will update on Billboard.com tomorrow, April 21.
