“Bichota” surpasses “Ay, Dios Mio” to become Karol G’s highest-charting title as a sole lead artist on both charts. The former reached No. 18 on the Global Excl. U.S. tally and No. 25 on the Global 200.
The song’s worldwide stream count spiked by 53%, while its sales shot up 36% (a week after posting gains of 39% and 19%). Not only does the single rank higher on the Global Excl. U.S. chart, it is increasing at a more rapid pace in its list’s metrics: its streams outside the U.S. are up 58%, while its sales surge by 52%.
