“BbY WOW” holds global No. 1 as ADÉLA takes two top-five spots

“BbY WOW” by Karol G, Judeline and rusowsky has held No. 1 for a fourth week on both of Billboard’s global song charts, dated Oct. 3, 2026. Billboard confirmed the result on Sept. 28, keeping the collaboration on top of the Global 200 and the Global Excl. U.S. chart in the same week. Billboard

The charts are recognised measures of worldwide listening. The Global 200 ranks songs by streams and sales across the world, while the Global Excl. U.S. uses the same method without figures from the United States.

In the tracking week of Sept. 18-24, “BbY WOW” drew 51.5 million streams around the world and sold 1,000 copies worldwide. Outside the U.S. alone, it drew 38.8 million streams.

Four weeks on top. The other story in the top five belongs to ADÉLA, who now has two songs in the top five of each global ranking.

On the Global 200, her “Nicole Kidman” rose from No. 11 to No. 3, while “Ain’t in LA” held at No. 5. On the Global Excl. U.S. chart, “Ain’t in LA” moved up from No. 6 to No. 4 and “Nicole Kidman” jumped from No. 26 to No. 5.

Both songs pulled strong streaming totals of their own. “Nicole Kidman” drew 32.5 million global streams in the tracking week, and “Ain’t in LA” drew 30 million.

Both tracks appear on PRIMA, ADÉLA’s debut LP. With those two entries, she is the first artist in 2026 to place two first-time top-five hits in the top five of each global chart at the same time.

For Judeline and rusowsky, the No. 1 is a first. “BbY WOW” is each artist’s first leader on Billboard’s global charts.

What makes this stand out is the split at the top. One collaboration is holding the centre, while a debut artist is taking up two more of the five spaces around it.
