Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga have recently surprised everyone by releasing a joint single, ‘Die with a Smile’. While people debate online and offline whether ‘Die with a Smile’ is an instant classic or a bore – there seems to be no middle ground – the song has taken hold in the charts, where it continues to climb days after its release.
‘Die with a Smile’ has just climbed to number 1 on Spotify’s global chart, with over 9 million daily streams. On Spotify, globally, ‘Die with a Smile’ had entered at number 10, then climbed to number 7, climbed to number 3, and finally reached number 1 after being supported by Today’s Top Hits, the most powerful playlist.
On the official charts, ‘Die With a Smile’ has been number 7 in the UK, number 10 in Australia, number 12 in Norway, number 13 in Ireland, number 26 in Holland, number 43 in Italy and number 52 in Germany. It is expected to reach the top 3 on the Billboard Hot 100. At the moment the song is more successful in English-speaking countries, but as we say, the important thing is that its trend is very much on the rise, so it is already guaranteed the status of classic.
With ‘Die with a Smile’, Bruno Mars stops living off his income and Lady Gaga paves the way for the announcement of her next album, which is almost finished. Both have sung it live for the second time in Inglewood, California, dancing close to each other during the instrumental bridge.
