biggest shutout<\/a> in the charts\u2019 upper reaches, at Nos. 1-19 on the Global 200 and Nos. 1-20 on Global Excl. U.S.)<\/p>\n\n\tThe 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.<\/p>\n
\n\tChart 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\u2019 calculations.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cLast Christmas\u201d rebounds a spot on the Global 200 with 192 million streams (up 92% week-over-week) and 10,000 sold (up 48%) worldwide in the week spanning Dec. 19 through Christmas Day.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe song posts the 10th-biggest global streaming week for a track since the Global 200 began in September 2020. It also boasts the ninth-highest frame, as it drew 192.5 million worldwide streams a year ago this week \u2014 with no other title repeating in the top 10. (BTS\u2019 \u201cButter\u201d leads with 289.2 million; June 5, 2021.)<\/p>\n
\n\tRounding out the top five on the Global 200, Mariah Carey\u2019s \u201cAll I Want for Christmas Is You\u201d dips to No. 2 after a record 20 weeks at No. 1 since December 2020; Brenda Lee\u2019s \u201cRockin\u2019 Around the Christmas Tree\u201d keeps at No. 3, after it hit a No. 2 peak in 2022; Bobby Helms\u2019 \u201cJingle Bell Rock\u201d hops a spot back to its No. 4 best; and Ariana Grande\u2019s \u201cSanta Tell Me\u201d also returns to its high (7-5).<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cLast Christmas\u201d rules Global Excl. U.S. with 131.1 million streams (up 103%) and 5,000 sold (up 34%) beyond the U.S.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cAll I Want for Christmas Is You\u201d dashes 3-2 on Global Excl. U.S., following 14 weeks at No. 1 since December 2020; \u201cRockin\u2019 Around the Christmas Tree\u201d makes a jolly 6-3 jump back to its best rank; \u201cJingle Bell Rock\u201d hits a new high (7-4); and \u201cSanta Tell Me\u201d treks 8-5, after reaching No. 4.<\/p>\n
