It’s all about Justin Bieber music making his fans move, as his early-career hit “Beauty and a Beat,” featuring Nicki Minaj, jumps two places to No. 1 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart.
The 2010s classic is one of three Bieber hits in the Global Excl. U.S. top 10 following his high-profile performances at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, Calif., on both April 11 and April 18.
“Beauty and a Beat” gained by 93% to 65.4 million streams outside the U.S. April 17-23, according to Luminate. The song, which hit No. 6 on the U.S.-based Billboard Hot 100 in 2012, was part of his April 11 Coachella performance, a hybrid spotlight that blended proper live songs with clips of his early hits played directly from YouTube.
Bieber earns his third No. 1 since Global Excl. U.S. began in September 2020, after “Stay,” with The Kid LAROI, ruled for 11 weeks beginning in August 2021 and “Peaches,” featuring Daniel Caesar and Giveon, led for two weeks that April.
Minaj crowns the Global Excl. U.S. chart for the first time.
Also notably, “Beauty and a Beat” is the second non-holiday song to top Global Excl. U.S. more than a decade after its release, after Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God),” 1985, led for a week in 2022, sparked by its sync in Netflix’s Stranger Things. (Two holiday standards have hit No. 1: Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” from 1994, and Wham!’s “Last Christmas,” from 1984.)
Bieber’s “Daisies” returns to the Global Excl. U.S. top 10 (26-6), after it wrapped both of his Coachella appearances. The song, from his 2025 album Swag, and which debuted at its No. 4 peak last July, gained 64% to 30.6 million streams outside the U.S.
Plus, Bieber’s “Baby” — the first of his 27 career Hot 100 top 10s; it hit No. 5 in 2010 — glides 23-7 for a new Global Excl. U.S. high with 31.1 million streams (up 49%). Bieber pushes his total to 10 top 10s since the chart began.
Olivia Rodrigo’s “Drop Dead” debuts at No. 3 on Global Excl. U.S. Released April 17, the song drew 39.8 million streams and sold 11,000 downloads beyond the U.S. through April 23. The lead single from her third album, You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love, due June 12, is her sixth top 10 on the chart.
Elsewhere in the Global Excl. U.S. top five, BTS’ “Swim” backstrokes a spot to No. 2 after spending its first four weeks on the chart at No. 1; Tame Impala and JENNIE’s “Dracula” dips to No. 4 from its No. 2 best; and Dominic Fike’s “Babydoll” falls 4-5 after reaching No. 3.
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 May 2, 2026, will update on Billboard.com tomorrow, April 28.
