The dynamic duo of Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars has struck gold with their heart-stirring ballad Die With a Smile, holding the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 for the second week in a row! The track, celebrating life's bittersweet beauty, has not only captured hearts but also marked its place in music history.
This achievement makes Gaga part of an elite club alongside Janet and Michael Jackson, as she becomes one of the few artists with No. 1 hits in three different decades—spanning the 2000s, 2010s, and now the 2020s. Reflecting on this milestone, Gaga shared on TikTok, “I can't believe I've had two No. 1s in three decades. Thank you for listening, dancing, and making art alongside mine!”
Meanwhile, Morgan Wallen’s Smile skyrocketed from No. 27 to No. 4 in its second week, proving that the country crossover star knows how to dominate the charts.
Behind the numbers, Die With a Smile racked up an impressive 61.8 million radio airplay impressions (up 4%), 28 million streams (up 3%), and 5,000 sales in the U.S. from Jan. 3-9. It continues to dominate the Streaming Songs chart, holds steady at No. 2 on Radio Songs, and climbs to No. 3 on Digital Song Sales.
From heartfelt lyrics to global success, Die With a Smile has cemented its place as a modern classic. Stay tuned for more chart updates on Billboard!
