Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ duet “Die With a Smile” has climbed to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, marking Gaga’s sixth chart-topping single and Mars’ ninth.
The ballad skyrocketed from No. 17 to the top spot, following its previous peak at No. 2 for four consecutive weeks in November. This week, all non-holiday titles return to the Hot 100’s top 10 after festive songs dominated the top 16 spots last week.
The latest chart reflects data tracked from Dec. 27, 2024, to Jan. 2, 2025, with holiday tracks experiencing their customary post-Christmas decline in consumption.
“Die With a Smile” initially debuted at No. 3 on the Hot 100 in late August. It now leads the chart in its 20th week, completing the longest journey to No. 1 since Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control” took 32 weeks to reach the summit last March.
This milestone further cements Lady Gaga’s enduring influence as a hitmaker. She joins an elite group of artists who have achieved multiple Hot 100 No. 1s across three decades.
Gaga now has two chart-toppers in the 2020s, in addition to two in both the 2010s and 2000s. Previously, this feat had only been accomplished by Janet Jackson (2000s, 1990s, 1980s) and Michael Jackson (1990s, 1980s, 1970s).
Bruno Mars also secures his second Hot 100 No. 1 of the decade, following Silk Sonic’s (Bruno Mars & Anderson .Paak) “Leave the Door Open,” which reached the top spot in 2021.
Additionally, ROSÉ and Mars’ collaboration “APT.” has soared to No. 5 on the Hot 100, surpassing its previous peak of No. 8 upon its debut in November.
The track became BLACKPINK member ROSÉ’s first solo top 10 hit, making her the first female K-pop artist to achieve this milestone.
With its climb to the top five, ROSÉ now holds the distinction of being the first such artist to reach this chart position.
