1 “Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 52”

“BZRP MUSIC SESSIONS, Vol. 52,” by Argentine producer/recording artist Bizarrap (left) and Spanish artist Quevedo, jumps from No. 5 to No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200, with

88.3 million streams (up 38%) and 700 downloads sold (up 53%) worldwide in the July 15-21 tracking week, according to Luminate.

With the latest edition of his collaborative series, Bizarrap reaches the Global 200 summit for the first time, far surpassing his prior No. 20 high in March, when “Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 49,” with Residente, debuted on the chart. Quevedo also makes his first visit to the top of the chart: His previous best was at No. 145, also in March, thanks to “Cayó La Noche,” with El Ima, Cruz Cafuné, Bejo, La Pantera, Juseph and Abhir Hathi.

“Vol. 52” concurrently reaches No. 1 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart, up from No. 3, with 84.7 million streams (up 36%) and 600 downloads sold (up 46%) in territories outside the United States. (Of the song’s global totals in the tracking week, 96% of its streams and 82% of its sales were from beyond the United States.)

Bizarrap, who boasts nearly 5 million followers on TikTok, and Quevedo are the first acts from Argentina and Spain, respectively, to lead both charts in their nearly two-year history.

“The first ‘session’ back in 2018 wasn’t even planned,” Bizarrap (real name: Gonzalo Conde) told Billboard last year. “All I wanted to do was record a local rapper, who goes by Kodigo, and upload that to YouTube, because I was a big fan of his and I wanted others to listen to him, too. I thought, ‘Why not give these freestylers the production they deserve?’ So, that’s what I did.”
