Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars’ ‘Die With a Smile’ Tops Global 200 Chart for 18th Week
Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ “Die With a Smile” adds an 18th week at No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200 chart. The song also scores a 15th week atop the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. survey. The ballad first led both lists last September.
The Billboard Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts, which began in September 2020, rank songs based on streaming and sales activity culled from more than 200 territories around the world, as compiled by Luminate. The Global 200 is inclusive of worldwide data and the Global Excl. U.S. chart comprises data from territories excluding the United States.
Chart ranks are based on a weighted formula incorporating official-only streams on both subscription and ad-supported tiers of audio and video music services, as well as download sales, the latter of which reflect purchases from full-service digital music retailers from around the world, with sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites excluded from the charts’ calculations.
“Die With a Smile” continues its Global 200 command with 83.9 million streams (down 8% week-over-week) and 6,000 sold (down 6%) worldwide April 18-24. At 18 weeks, the song moves to within one week of potentially tying the longest No. 1 run since the chart began:
- 19 weeks at No. 1, “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” Mariah Carey (2020-25)
- 18 weeks, “Die With a Smile,” Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars (2024-25)
- 15 weeks, “As It Was,” Harry Styles (2022)
- 14 weeks, “Flowers,” Miley Cyrus (2023)
- 12 weeks, “APT.,” ROSÉ & Bruno Mars (2024-25)
Alex Warren’s “Ordinary” holds at its No. 2 Global 200 high; “APT.” is steady at No. 3; Billie Eilish’s “Birds of a Feather” keeps at No. 4, following three weeks at No. 1 last August; and Benson Boone’s “Beautiful Things” bumps 7-5, after it logged seven weeks on top in February-April 2024.
“Die With a Smile” tallies a 15th week at No. 1 on Global Excl. U.S., with 67.7 million streams (down 8%) and 3,000 sold (down 3%) outside the U.S. The song solely claims the second-longest rule in the chart’s archives:
- 19 weeks at No. 1, “APT.,” ROSÉ & Bruno Mars (2024-25)
- 15 weeks, “Die With a Smile,” Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars (2024-25)
- 14 weeks, “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” Mariah Carey (2021-25)
- 13 weeks, “Flowers,” Miley Cyrus (2023)
- 13 weeks, “As It Was,” Harry Styles (2022)
The rest of the Global Excl. U.S. remains in place from a week earlier: “APT.” at No. 2; “Ordinary” at its No. 3 best; JENNIE’s “like JENNIE” at No. 4, after hitting No. 3; and “Birds of a Feather” at No. 5, following three weeks at No. 1 last August.
