INDIO, CALIFORNIA – APRIL 14: Bad Bunny performs at the Coachella Stage during the 2023 Coachella … [+]
One week after its release, Bad Bunny’s new single “Where She Goes” has quickly risen to the top and claimed the title of the No. 1 song in the world. Billboard reports that the Latin superstar’s latest track opens at the pinnacle of the Billboard Global 200, a chart that ranks the most-consumed tracks across the globe.
“Where She Goes” marks Bunny’s third No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200, cementing his status as a chart-topping artist. The song arrives at the top of the tally with an impressive 71 million streams and 3,000 copies sold globally, according to data shared by Billboard.
This latest success follows in the footsteps of Bunny’s previous chart-toppers. Back in late 2020, his collaboration with Jhay Cortez, “Dakiti,” dominated the Billboard Global 200 chart. Then again, earlier this month, his collaboration with Grupo Frontera, “Un x100to,” also claimed the top spot on the same list.
With “Where She Goes” joining this trio of winners, Bunny now boasts the second-most No. 1 hits in the history of the Billboard Global 200, and the most among soloists. This achievement sets him apart from some of the biggest stars in the world and solidifies his impact on the global music scene.
Prior to the release of “Where She Goes,” Bunny shared the same level of success as renowned artists like Blackpink, Drake, Justin Bieber, Olivia Rodrigo, and Taylor Swift. All of these artists had earned a pair of No. 1 hits on the Billboard Global 200. Now, Bunny’s latest accomplishment puts him in a league of his own, as he now stands alone with three chart-toppers, though these artists are not far behind and could potentially add to their tally soon, as they have come close to securing more No. 1 hits in the past.
BTS continues to rule when looking at those acts that have charted the most No. 1 smashes on the Billboard Global 200. The South Korean band has already notched a half-dozen leaders, and though they’re currently on hiatus, that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re done doing so.
In addition to conquering the global charts, “Where She Goes” has also made a strong debut on the U.S.-specific Hot 100 chart. The song enters the chart at an impressive No. 8. The cut marks his milestone tenth top 10 hit on the Hot 100, a notable feat that showcases his consistent success and popularity among U.S. listeners.
