Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars' Hit Reaches Rare Radio Milestone with 50-Week Top 10 Streak

More than a year after its late August 2024 debut, Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ “Die With a Smile” has cemented its place among pop’s most enduring chart success stories. This week, the Grammy-winning collaboration made a significant leap, moving from No. 11 to No. 10 on the Hot 100, simultaneously achieving a landmark that places it in extraordinarily rare company.

A Historic Achievement

By reclaiming its position in the top 10 this frame, “Die With a Smile” becomes only the fourth track ever to achieve 50 weeks within the Hot 100’s elite tier. Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars now share this distinction with just three other songs: Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control,” Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” and The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights,” according to Billboard data. The accomplishment underscores how rarely a single maintains such consistent chart dominance for an extended period.

The Long Game: Sustained Performance

What makes this achievement particularly striking is the song’s staying power across multiple metrics. Since its chart debut, “Die With a Smile” has spent 54 weeks total on the Hot 100, reaching No. 1 in mid-January for a five-week run at the summit. Remarkably, it has fallen outside the top 10 just four times throughout its entire lifespan—a testament to its unwavering commercial momentum and listener appeal.

Meanwhile, “Lose Control” by Teddy Swims continues its own record-breaking journey, sliding to No. 8 this week. The single has now accumulated an unprecedented 106 weeks on the Hot 100 chart, standing as the longest-charting hit in the tally’s over 50-year history. Its presence alongside Lady Gaga’s track in the top 10 highlights an era of exceptional chart longevity.

Radio Dominance Fuels the Run

The longevity of “Die With a Smile” owes much to its commanding performance on radio formats. The duet currently sits at No. 4 on Billboard’s Radio Songs chart this frame, suggesting broad support across different station formats. Beyond radio, the track remains competitive: it ranks No. 19 on the Digital Song Sales list and has edged down to No. 31 on the Streaming Songs chart from No. 29 the previous week.

With radio continuing to champion the collaboration and cross-platform metrics still performing solidly, “Die With a Smile” shows no signs of immediate decline. Industry observers suggest the track could maintain its Hot 100 presence for several additional weeks, potentially extending even further if momentum holds.
