BAD BUNNY blasts onto the Billboard Global 200 at No. 1 with “Where She Goes.” Released May 18, the Jersey club-, drill- and dembow-based track drew 71 million official streams and sold 3,000 worldwide in the May 19-25 tracking week, according to Luminate.

The MAG-produced Spanish-language song — whose star-studded music video set in the California desert features Frank Ocean and Lil Uzi Vert, among others — is Bad Bunny’s third Global 200 No. 1. It follows “Un x100to” with Grupo Frontera for two weeks in May and “Dákiti” with Jhay Cortez (now Jhayco) for three weeks total in November and December in 2020. Bad Bunny becomes the first soloist with three No. 1s on the chart — only BTS, with six, has a higher total.

Bad Bunny’s new No. 1 marks his first Global 200 entry without any accompanyi­ng artists since he released his album Un Verano Sin Ti, which dominated the Billboard 200 for 13 weeks from May to October in 2022.

The single also starts at No. 2 on Hot Latin Songs and No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 with 23.4 million streams, 2.9 million in radio reach and 2,000 sold in the United States. Bad Bunny adds his record-extending 61st top 10 on the former chart and his 10th top 10 on the latter list.

Meanwhile, on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart, where “Where She Goes” opens at No. 3, Shakira rises 11-8 with “Acróstico.” The intimate, piano-backed ballad, whose video features her sons Mila and Sasha contributi­ng vocals, gained by 6% to 55.6 million streams outside of the United States. It’s her fourth top 10 on the chart — all within the last year, with three so far in 2023.
