“THANK YOU ALL!” he wrote alongside a cheers emoji and a screenshot of this week’s top 10 on the chart. “I’m headed to the studio right now to make a strip club anthem so I can celebrate and properly act up this weekend.”

He concluded by jokingly asking his fans to help him “get in touch with Sexyy Red,” who is known for her party-ready hits. See his post here.

The journey of “Die With a Smile” to the top of the Hot 100 came a full five months after the two pop superstars teamed up to drop the duet on Aug. 16. The track soon reached No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200, where it proceeded to spend eight weeks in the top spot. The swoon-worthy ballad is Gaga’s sixth Hot 100 leader and Mars’ ninth.

Earlier this month, when the song first topped the chart, Gaga shared a TikTok video thanking her fans for their support. “I’m so honored to be an artist and to have had your ears for this long. Thank you for listening and dancing and making your art along with mine,” she shared in the self-style clip, adding, “I’m so excited that this song is on my new album. I’m so excited for you to hear what more I have in store for you.”
