Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ “Die With a Smile” secures a third total and consecutive week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart.
The ballad became Gaga’s sixth Hot 100 leader and Mars’ ninth. Gaga ties her second-longest command, as her debut smash “Just Dance,” featuring Colby O’Donis, ruled for three weeks in January 2009. She dominated for six weeks in February-April 2011 with “Born This Way.”
Mars runs up his fifth Hot 100 reign of three or more weeks, following his featured turn on Mark Ronson’s “Uptown Funk!” (14 weeks at No. 1, in 2015) and his own “Locked Out of Heaven” (six, 2012-13), “Grenade” (four, 2011) and “Just the Way You Are” (four, 2010).
Bad Bunny blasts to the Hot 100’s top 10 with three songs, all from his new album, DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS, which surges to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart: “DtMF” (38-2), “BAILE INoLVIDABLE” (28-3) and “NUEVAYoL” (27-8). He ups his count to 15 career top 10s – extending his mark for the most all-time among acts who record primarily Latin music. He also now boasts 13 top 10 hits recorded in Spanish, the most non-English-language top 10s among all artists. “DtMF” concurrently becomes his second No. 1 on the Streaming Songs chart.
Plus, ROSÉ and Bruno Mars’ “APT.” holds at its No. 5 Hot 100 high and ascends to No. 1 on the Digital Song Sales chart, where it becomes their first and 11th leader, respectively.
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. 25, 2025) will update on Billboard.com tomorrow (Jan. 22, a day later than usual due to the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday Jan. 20).

He pushes his total to 15 career top 10s – extending his mark for the most among acts who record primarily Latin music. He also now boasts 13 top 10 hits recorded in Spanish, the most non-English-language top 10s among all artists.
“DtMF” concurrently becomes Bad Bunny’s second No. 1 on the Streaming Songs chart, after “I Like It,” with Cardi B and J Balvin, in July 2018. “DtMF” drew 34.9 million official U.S. streams in the tracking week. “BAILE INoLVIDABLE” tallied 26.8 million and “NUEVAYoL,” 23.5 million.
ROSÉ and Bruno Mars’ “APT.” keeps at its No. 5 Hot 100 high and lifts 2-1 on the Digital Song Sales chart (6,000 sold, up 10%).
