Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars have teamed up for a new hit single titled 'Die with a Smile,' which has made an impressive debut on the Billboard charts. The song, with its vintage sound, was poised for success from the moment of its release just over a week ago.
'Die with a Smile' has entered the Billboard Global 200 and the Billboard Global Excl. US charts at No. 2, marking Gaga's first top 10 hit on both rankings. Despite its strong performance, the track was unable to claim the top spot, as it was held back by Billie Eilish's 'Birds of a Feather,' which continues to reign at No. 1 on both lists for the third consecutive week.
Prior to 'Die with a Smile,' Gaga's highest-charting song was 'Rain on Me,' her collaboration with Ariana Grande, which peaked at No. 21 on the Billboard Global Excl. US and No. 22 on the Billboard Global 200. Gaga has placed a total of six songs on these charts, with 'Die with a Smile' being her latest addition.
Bruno Mars, known for his work with Silk Sonic alongside Anderson .Paak, has also achieved success on the charts with several top 10 hits. While Mars has yet to claim the top spot, his consistent presence in the top rankings showcases his popularity among music listeners.
The Billboard Global charts, introduced in late 2020, provide a comprehensive view of the most-consumed songs worldwide, with the Global Excl. US chart specifically focusing on data excluding American sales and streaming figures. Both Gaga and Mars have demonstrated their ability to resonate with global audiences through their chart performances.
As music fans eagerly anticipate the next chart-topping hit, 'Die with a Smile' stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of these two music icons and their ability to captivate audiences with their creative collaborations.
