Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars’ ‘Die With a Smile’ Spends Second Week at No. 1 on Billboard Hot 100

Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ “Die With a Smile” notches a second week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. A week earlier, the ballad about flashing pearly whites just before reaching the pearly gates became Gaga’s sixth Hot 100 leader and Mars’ ninth.

With the coronation, Gaga joined the elite company of Janet and Michael Jackson as the only artists with multiple Hot 100 No. 1s in three distinct decades, with Gaga now boasting two leaders each in the 2000s, ‘10s and ‘20s.

“I am so incredibly grateful that my song ‘Die With a Smile’ with Bruno Mars, my friend, is No. 1 on the Hot 100,” Gaga beamed on TikTok Jan. 7. “I can’t believe I’ve had two No. 1s in three different decades that I’ve been releasing my music in this profession. 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.”

More reasons to smile: Morgan Wallen’s “Smile” bounds from No. 27 to No. 4 in its second week on the Hot 100, reflecting the New Year’s Eve release’s first full week of tracking. The song becomes the country crossover star’s 12th top 10 on the chart.

The Hot 100 blends all-genre U.S. streaming (official audio and official video), radio airplay and sales data, the lattermost metric reflecting purchases of physical singles and digital tracks from full-service digital music retailers; digital singles sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites are excluded from chart calculations. All charts (dated Jan. 18, 2025) will update on Billboard.com tomorrow (Jan. 14).
