“Seven” garnered “77.7 million streams (down 7%), as well as 2,000 sold (down 41%) outside the U.S. Sept. 8-14.”
On the Billboard Global 200, “Seven” maintained its No. 2 position for the second straight week after spending seven consecutive weeks at No. 1.
“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,” according to Billboard.
It added that “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.”
