Billie Eilish’s hit single “Birds of a Feather” continues to dominate the music world, holding the No. 1 position on both the Billboard Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts for the second week in a row. The track, which became her first leader on these charts just a week ago, shows no signs of slowing down. According to Luminate, “Birds of a Feather” garnered 85.5 million streams, marking a 9% increase, and sold 16,000 copies worldwide between Aug. 9-15, reflecting a significant 129% sales boost. The song's popularity surged following Eilish’s performance at the 2024 Summer Olympics Closing Ceremony on Aug. 11 in Los Angeles, the host city for the 2028 Summer Games.

Other chart highlights include Sabrina Carpenter’s “Espresso,” which remains steady at No. 2 on the Global 200 after spending three nonconsecutive weeks at the top. Meanwhile, Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” climbed back to its peak position at No. 3, and Karol G’s “Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido” rose to No. 5, marking her third top-five entry on the Global 200.

On the Global Excl. U.S. chart, “Birds of a Feather” also reigns supreme with 62.7 million streams, up 9%, and 7,000 sales, up 131%, outside the United States. Karol G’s track achieved a new high at No. 2, while Carpenter’s “Espresso” maintained its No. 3 spot after eight weeks at No. 1. Additionally, Hanumankind and Kalmi’s “Big Dawgs” made a notable leap, entering the top 10 on both charts for the first time.
