Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars climb to number 1 singles in the United States with ‘Die with a Smile’. The ballad of Gaga and Mars had remained within Billboard’s top 10 for months and, after the Christmas period, it culminated its journey through the classification by reaching first position. By the way, many months after its premiere last August.
In concrete data, ‘Die with a Smile’ has taken 20 weeks to reach the top of the Billboard Hot 100, but it has done so by establishing itself on the charts, cementing its impact week after week, not at all passing like a shooting star on the charts. It has been, naturally, one of the biggest hits of 2024, and also one of the best songs, in general.
During these twenty weeks, ‘Die with a Smile’ has remained either at number 1 on Spotify globally, or very close. It has been a rare week in which Bruno has not exchanged positions with himself, as ‘APT’ with Rosé has followed him closely.
The news is better for Gaga, as the lead single from her next album, ‘Disease’, has had a discreet run on the charts. Gaga has confirmed that ‘Die with a Smile’ will be part of this project, which is expected in February.
With ‘Die with a Smile’, Gaga has 6 number 1s on the Billboard Hot 100, and Bruno 9. This is what her number 1 list looks like, courtesy of Billboard:
