Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ “Die With a Smile” rises to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The ballad becomes Gaga’s sixth Hot 100 leader and Mars’ ninth.

“Die With a Smile,” on Streamline/Interscope/Atlantic/ICLG, totaled 59.7 million radio airplay audience impressions (up 11% week-over-week), 27.1 million official streams (up 11%) and 6,000 sold (up 41%) in the United States Dec. 27-Jan. 2.

The song soars from No. 17 on the Hot 100, after initially peaking at No. 2 for four weeks in November. All titles in the top 10 return to the region, a week after holiday songs decorated the top 10, and top 16 spots, for the first time. The chart’s latest data tracking week reflects Dec. 27, 2024, through Jan. 2, 2025, as consumption for Yuletide tracks annually plunges after Christmas.

“Die With a Smile” debuted at No. 3 on the Hot 100 in late August. As it leads in its 20th week on the chart, it wraps the lengthiest trip to the top since Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control” took 32 weeks to hit No. 1 last March.

Highlighting her hitmaking longevity, Gaga joins select company in having earned multiple Hot 100 No. 1s in three distinct decades, as she adds her second leader of 2020s, following two each in the ‘10s and ‘00s. Previously, only Janet Jackson (‘00s, 1990s, ‘80s) and Michael Jackson (‘90s, ‘80s, ’70s) achieved the feat.

Lady Gaga becomes only the third artist – joining Janet and Michael Jackson – to have notched multiple No. 1s in three distinct decades. Here’s a look at the three acts and their totals by decade:
- Lady Gaga: two Hot 100 No. 1s in the 2020s, two in the ‘10s, two in the ‘00s
- Janet Jackson: two in the ‘00s, six in the 1990s, two in the ‘80s
- Michael Jackson two in the ‘90s, nine in the ‘80s, two in the ‘70s

Plus, ROSÉ and Mars’ “APT.” soars 34-5 on the Hot 100, surpassing its prior No. 8 peak, set upon its November debut. The song became BLACKPINK member ROSÉ’s first top 10 as a soloist, as she made history as the first female artist prominent in K-pop (Korean pop) to hit the top 10. She now, therefore, becomes the first such artist to reach the top five.
