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).

“Die With a Smile,” on Streamline/Interscope/Atlantic/ICLG, totaled 62 million radio airplay audience impressions (essentially even week-over-week), 29 million official streams (up 4%) and 6,000 sold (up 5%) in the United States Jan. 10-16.
The track holds at its No. 2 high on the Radio Songs chart; falls to No. 3 after two weeks atop Streaming Songs; and keeps at No. 3 on Digital Song Sales, which it led for two weeks.
Notably, Bruno Mars adds his 37th career week at No. 1 on the Hot 100, tying Michael Jackson (as a soloist, apart from the Jackson 5) for the eighth-most time spent in the top spot. Here’s a recap of the acts with the most weeks at No. 1:
Bad Bunny bounds into the Hot 100’s top 10 with three songs, all from his new album, DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS, which ascends 2-1 on the Billboard 200 chart following its first full week of activity (Jan. 10-16; it was released Jan. 5): “DtMF” (38-2), “BAILE INoLVIDABLE” (28-3) and “NUEVAYoL” (27-8). 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%). It becomes ROSÉ’s first leader as a soloist; BLACKPINK, with her as a member, has achieved five top 10s, led by the No. 2-peaking “How You Like That” and “Ice Cream,” the latter with Selena Gomez, in 2020. ROSÉ becomes the first female artist prominent in K-pop (Korean pop) to top Digital Song Sales.

Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” slips 2-4 on the Hot 100, following a record-tying 19 weeks at No. 1 beginning last July. It rules Radio Songs for a 25th week (63.2 million in audience, down 5%), moving to within one week of The Weeknd’s record 26-week command with “Blinding Lights” in April-October 2020. “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” also tops the multimetric Hot Country Songs chart for a 31st week.

Billie Eilish’s “Birds of a Feather” falls 3-7 on the Hot 100, after reaching No. 2. It crowns the multimetric Hot Rock & Alternative Songs and Hot Alternative Songs charts for a 24th week each.
Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control,” which led the Hot 100 for a week in March 2024 – and became the year’s top song – descends 6-9 and, rounding out the top 10, Gracie Abrams’ “That’s So True” drops 8-10 after hitting No. 6.
