Justin Bieber fills multiple spaces on Billboard’s global rankings this frame with a mix of both the new and the old. A handful of tunes that helped make him the worldwide superstar he is today continue to rack up streams and sales all around the planet, even as the pop singer promotes his latest album Swag – and its accompanying Swag II – and the multiple tunes pushed as promotional cuts from those efforts.

One popular collaboration with DJ Snake, the upbeat “Let Me Love You,” is on the rise worldwide. “Let Me Love You” hits a new peak position on multiple rosters this frame, as the nearly decade-old track seems to be picking up steam and finding new audiences everywhere.

Justin Bieber and DJ Snake’s “Let Me Love You” Hits New Peaks

“Let Me Love You” climbs on both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. this frame. The track ascends 30 spaces on the Billboard Global 200, landing at No. 136, while shooting from No. 119 to No. 90 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. Those are new high points for the collaborative electronic dance tune.

Justin Bieber Vs. DJ Snake

Between the two credited musicians, Bieber is easily the more successful on both of Billboard’s global rankings. He has earned 45 hits on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S., which measures the most popular tracks around the planet with no American consumption included, and 52 on the Billboard Global 200. Even as “Let Me Love You” ascends to new peaks, the track still ranks among Bieber’s lower-peaking wins, with only a handful of tunes coming in behind it.

DJ Snake Has Only Scored a Handful of Worldwide Smashes

For DJ Snake, “Let Me Love You” is one of only a handful of placements on either roster. DJ Snake is up to four hits on Billboard Global 200 and just one more on Billboard Global Excl. U.S.

“Let Me Love You” is still his lowest-peaking cut on the Billboard Global 200 and his only tune to fail to crack the upper half of the roster. Over on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S., “Lean On,” a collaboration with both Major Lazer and MØ, only made it to No. 177.

“Let Me Love You” does stand out as DJ Snake’s longest-charting hit on the two tallies, with half a dozen frames on the Billboard Global 200 and an impressive 46 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. – more than all of his other four singles combined.

Justin Bieber Continues His Swag Era With “Daisies”

DJ Snake only claims the one hit on Billboard’s worldwide rankings this frame, but Bieber fills several spaces. “Daisies,” the most popular tune from his current Swag era, drops one space to No. 42 on the Billboard Global 200 and holds at No. 51 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. “Daisies” previously broke into the top five on both of those tallies and has now spent 19 frames climbing and falling.

“Sorry,” which helped revitalize his career and promoted his album Purpose a decade ago, improves slightly on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. but is nowhere to be found on the Billboard Global 200. “Sorry” dances from No. 191 to No. 188 in its sixth turn on the tally, nearing its No. 175 peak.

“Let Me Love You” Nears Its Tenth Birthday

“Let Me Love You” was released on August 5, 2016 as a single from DJ Snake’s debut album Encore. By that point, the French producer had already shared multiple tracks from the project, and the full-length dropped on the same day as the Bieber collaboration. “Let Me Love You” was a major hit all around the world years before either of the global rankings were introduced, and the track peaked at No. 4 on the Hot 100 and reached the top 10 on several electronic/dance and pop radio rankings in the U.S.
