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. Airplay, Streams & Sales “Die With a Smile,” on Streamline/Interscope/Atlantic/ICLG, totaled 61.8 million radio airplay audience impressions (up 4% week-over-week), 28 million official streams (up 3%) and 5,000 sold (down 8%) in the United States Jan. 3-9. The track tallies a second week at No. 1 on the Streaming Songs chart, holds at its No. 2 high on Radio Songs and lifts 4-3 on Digital Song Sales, which it led for two weeks. Notably, “Die With a Smile” is Lady Gaga’s second Hot 100 No. 1 duet ballad, following “Shallow,” with Bradley Cooper. The latter, from the movie A Star Is Born, starring the pair, led for a week in March 2019. Gaga is just the second artist to top the Hot 100 with two duet ballads between a male and female soloist and no other billed acts. Ariana Grande initiated the honor via “Stuck With U” with Justin Bieber, in May 2020, and “Die for You” with The Weeknd (after she joined for its remix), in March 2023. https://www.billboard.com/lists/lady-gaga-bruno-mars-die-with-a-smile-hot-100-number-one-second-week/

Mine was always this:

Hey! I've just released a music video for my song Dressed in Red. It took a while but I wanted to do this in a way that I had not tried before in terms of animation. This song was written about one of the darkest times in my life, and I'm really glad that I was able to share how it felt, both musically and visually. For those who have been following my music, I know that I haven't released anything for a while. I am really hoping to do more things this year and being able to allocate more budget into my music, as I want it to sound more professional and closer to the vision I have for it. Thank you for watching! I would love to know your thoughts on it! Taglist of people who expressed interest in my music before:
