Future, Metro Boomin & Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Like That’ Launches at No. 1 on Billboard Global 200

Future, Metro Boomin and Kendrick Lamar’s “Like That” leaps in at No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200 chart.

The track is one of three from Future and Metro Boomin’s album We Don’t Trust You that debut in the Global 200’s top 10, as the set opens at No. 1 on the U.S.-based Billboard 200 chart.

Plus, Hozier’s “Too Sweet” begins at No. 7 on the Global 200.

Meanwhile, Benson Boone’s “Beautiful Things” adds a sixth week at No. 1 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. survey.

The Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts, which began in September 2020, 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.

Chart 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’ calculations.

Future, Metro Boomin and Lamar all top the Global 200 for the first time. Scott now boasts 10 top 10s on the tally; Future, eight; Lamar, four; Playboi Carti, three; and Metro Boomin, one.
