Karol G, Judeline & rusowsky’s ‘BbY WOW’ Blasts to No. 1 on Billboard Global Charts

Karol G, Judeline, and rusowsky's song "BbY WOW" has climbed to No. 1 on both Billboard's Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts. This marks Karol G's second number one, following "TQG," while Shakira led the charts with her debut single in March 2023. Judeline and rusowsky achieved their first-ever number one ranking.

Rod Wave's "Don’t Look Down" secured its fourth number one album on the Billboard 200 with "BbY WOW," while Ella Langley's "Choosin' Texas" extended its reign at No. 2 on the Hot 100 for a 21st consecutive week.

The song's success can be attributed to Karol G's heartfelt and relatable portrayal of heartbreak. Shakira and Burna Boy's "Dai Dai" (FIFA World Cup Official Song 2026) were displaced from their respective charts after 10 weeks and 7 weeks, respectively.

"BbY WOW" has garnered a remarkable 42.3 million streams and 1,000 sold worldwide during its first week, marking an impressive 62% week-over-week increase in streams and a 60% rise in sales. The song is the first No. 1 hit performed primarily in Spanish since Bad Bunny's "DtMF" in March.

Below "BbY WOW," Ella Langley's "Choosin' Texas" retains its No. 2 spot on the Global 200, while "Dai Dai" falls to No. 3. The song maintains its position at No. 2 on the Global Excl. U.S. chart.
