Harry Styles: Chart King Continues His Global Domination

Can you believe it? Harry Styles just keeps rewriting the record books! His absolutely massive hit, 'As It Was,' has now spent an incredible, almost unbelievable, 20th week sitting pretty at the very top of the Billboard Global 200 chart. This isn't just another week at number one; it’s a staggering achievement, further cementing his already legendary status as the artist with the most weeks at the pinnacle of this global tally. It really speaks volumes about the enduring appeal and sheer catchiness of that track, doesn't it?

During the tracking week from January 27th to February 2nd, 'As It Was' still pulled in a phenomenal 69.3 million streams worldwide. And while its digital sales saw a little dip—down to 2,000 units—the streaming power alone is clearly enough to keep it miles ahead of the competition. Honestly, after all this time, for a song to maintain that kind of momentum... it's just mind-boggling.

Of course, Harry isn't alone on the charts, though he certainly stands tall above the rest. Holding strong at No. 2, we’ve got Metro Boomin, The Weeknd, and 21 Savage with their infectious track, 'Creepin'.' That one's been a consistent presence, battling for the top spot. Then, sliding into No. 3, is the undeniable force that is Miley Cyrus' 'Flowers.' That track has just exploded, you know? It’s truly everywhere, and its climb has been absolutely fascinating to watch.

SZA’s 'Kill Bill' is still making waves, landing at No. 4 this week. It’s such a powerful, poignant song, and it’s wonderful to see it resonate so strongly with listeners globally. And rounding out our top five, making its grand entrance at No. 5, is the collaboration everyone's talking about: Bizarrap and Shakira’s 'Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53.' What a moment that track created, right? It just shows you the power of a truly viral, conversation-starting song.

Just a quick note on how these charts work, because it's always good to understand the magic behind the numbers: The Billboard Global 200, which includes the U.S. and more than 200 other territories, ranks songs based on a weighted formula of worldwide streams and digital sales. So, it's a truly comprehensive look at what the world is listening to. The chart we're referencing here is dated for February 11th, 2023, reflecting the activity of that specific week. It’s all about capturing that real-time global pulse of music.

So there you have it. Harry Styles, 'As It Was,' twenty weeks at No. 1. It’s not just a statistic; it’s a cultural moment, a testament to a song that just refuses to quit and an artist who continues to captivate millions around the globe. What a run, truly.
