which is the right preposition?

Hey. I've always wondered which preposition I should use when it comes to something that is first. I mean,for example,if in a table there is a lot of statistics about different regions and Asia has the highest percentage of population. How should I say it?: Asia is IN/AT/ON (the??) first place in terms of population. Thank you in advance!:)
