Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ “Die With a Smile” notches a fourth 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 runs up her sole second-longest No. 1 stay, as “Die With a Smile” breaks out of a tie with her debut smash “Just Dance” (featuring Colby O’Donis), which ruled for three weeks in January 2009. She dominated for six weeks in February-April 2011 with “Born This Way.”
Mars logs his fifth Hot 100 reign of four 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).
Plus, Mars adds his 38th career week at No. 1 on the Hot 100, surpassing Michael Jackson (as a soloist, apart from the Jackson 5) for the sole eighth-most time spent in the top spot. Mariah Carey leads with 97 career weeks at No. 1.
Also notably, Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” at No. 4 on the Hot 100 after a record-tying 19 weeks at No. 1, matches the longest rule ever on the Radio Songs chart – 26 weeks – equaling the command of The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights” in 2020.
Additionally, Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control,” at No. 7, becomes just the seventh single to spend at least 75 weeks on the Hot 100.
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 Feb. 1, 2025) will update on Billboard.com tomorrow, Jan. 28. For all chart news, you can follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram.
