Karol G’s ‘BbY WOW’ Holds No. 1 on Billboard Global Charts

Karol G’s “BbY WOW” continues its global run, with the collaboration featuring Spanish artists Judeline and rusowsky spending a fourth consecutive week at No. 1 on both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts.

The latest Billboard ranking marks the first multi-week No. 1 on the global charts for Karol G, Judeline and rusowsky. The song first reached the summit in September and has remained there through four consecutive chart cycles.

Released on August 7 as part of Karol G’s album No Me Arrepiento de Sentir Tanto, “BbY WOW” brings together the Colombian superstar with two Spanish artists whose work has largely emerged from Spain’s alternative music scene. Production on the track also includes Puerto Rican producer Tainy.

The collaboration has also delivered a significant breakthrough for Judeline. The Cádiz-born singer became the first Spanish woman to reach No. 1 on Spotify’s global daily chart with “BbY WOW,” adding another international milestone to the song’s rise.

The track’s musical foundation also reaches back to Jamaica. “BbY WOW” incorporates an interpolation of the Coolie Dance Riddim, created by Jamaican producers Cordel “Scatta” Burrell and Everton “Eva” Burrell in 2003. The riddim has appeared in numerous songs over the years and gives the collaboration a connection to dancehall’s production history.

For Karol G, the song’s success adds another major international milestone to an already expansive 2026 campaign. The singer is currently touring with her Viajando Por El Mundo Tropitour, which has included major stadium performances across international markets.

Judeline and rusowsky also joined Karol G and Tainy onstage at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey in September, performing “BbY WOW” together publicly for the first time.

The song’s path to the top was not straightforward. In an interview with LOS40, Karol G explained that “BbY WOW” nearly missed the album because she initially felt the track was incomplete. She later decided that contributions from Judeline and rusowsky were needed to finish the record.

That late-stage collaboration has now become one of the defining successes of Karol G’s current era. With “BbY WOW” maintaining the top position on Billboard’s two global charts for a fourth consecutive week, the song has developed from a cross-border collaboration into a sustained international hit.
