\n\tTaylor Swift<\/a>\u2019s \u201cI Knew It, I Knew You\u201d launches as the biggest song in the world, as it debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200<\/a>.<\/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\tThe latest charts, dated June 20, 2026, will update on Billboard.com tomorrow, June 16. For both tallies, the top 100 titles are available to all readers on Billboard.com, while the complete 200-title rankings are visible on Billboard Pro, Billboard\u2019s subscription-based service.
