New Around the World: Jesy Nelson Breaks Free on Global Charts With ‘Boyz’

Elsewhere, Latin music is spotlighted by two debuting collaborations between Spanish and Argentine artists. At No. 73 on the Global Excl. U.S. chart and No. 140 on the Global 200, C. Tangana (Spain) and Nathy Peluso (Argentina) arrive with “Ateo.” The debut was driven by 14 million streams worldwide, skewing 97% from outside the U.S.

At No. 154 on Global Excl. U.S., Bizarrap (Argentina) teams with Ptazeta (Spain) on “Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 45.” It’s the sixth edition of Bizarrap’s Music Sessions franchise to hit the chart, following volumes with Nicky Jam, Eladio Carrion, Snow Tha Product, L-Gante, and, to bring us full circle, Nathy Peluso.

And finally, the Global Excl. U.S. chart welcomes A.R. Rahman and Shreya Ghoshal’s “Param Sundari” at No. 184. It’s the first global chart hit for both acts, the newest in a growing roster of Indian artists to impact the global lists. Notably, and long before the global surveys’ starts, Rahman hit No. 15 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2009 with “Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny),” with The Pussycat Dolls featuring Nicole Scherzinger. The song, from the box office hit Slumdog Millionaire, also won the Academy Award for best original song and a Grammy Award for best song written for a motion picture, television or other visual media.
