Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’s “Die With a Smile” spends a sixteenth week at No. 1 on the Billboard … More
For yet another week, Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars reign supreme on Billboard’s worldwide rankings. The two pop powerhouses hold steady at No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200 with their smash collaboration “Die With a Smile,” which is turning out to be a career-defining smash. As the track continues to dominate the ranking, it not only remains the most-consumed song on the planet, it also takes another step forward on the all-time list of the most successful tunes in the ranking’s history.
“Die With a Smile” is Still No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200
This week marks the sixteenth time that “Die With a Smile” has led the Billboard Global 200. With this latest turn at the top, the hit officially breaks a tie and now stands alone as the second-longest-running No. 1 hit in the history of the ranking of the most-consumed tracks throughout the entire world.
Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars Pass Harry Styles
Last frame, “Die With a Smile” was already one of the longest-ruling No. 1s the Billboard Global 200 had ever seen rise to the top. With 15 weeks in charge, it was tied with Harry Styles’ “As It Was,” which ruled the tally throughout much of 2022. Now, Gaga and Mars move ahead, nudging Styles’ massive solo win into third place on the all-time list.
Mariah Carey Still Holds the Record — For Now
The only song still ahead of “Die With a Smile” is a Christmas staple. Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” continues to hold the record with 19 weeks at No. 1, though it has accumulated that sum across several holiday seasons between 2020 and 2025. Thanks to its annual comeback, the festive favorite has managed to rack up more time at the summit than any other track – but it’s not out of the question that “Die with a Smile” could eventually match or even overtake Carey’s total.
“Die With a Smile” Continues Its Domination
“Die With a Smile” isn’t just No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200 — it also continues to rule the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. as well. That second tally is compiled in much the same way as the Billboard Global 200, but with streams and sales that come from American listeners removed. On that list, the Gaga-Mars collaboration earns its thirteenth week in the lead, but it doesn’t match any other smash or break any tie.
