Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars' ‘Die With a Smile' Dominates Both Billboard Global Charts
Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars' 'Die With a Smile' continues atop the Billboard Global 200 chart, adding a 12th week at No. 1. It also rebounds for an 11th week atop Billboard Global Excl. U.S. The ballad first led both lists last September.
Meanwhile, two tracks debut in the top 10 of each survey: JENNIE's 'Like JENNIE' and Doechii's 'Anxiety.'

As previously reported, Gaga's MAYHEM launches at No. 1 on the U.S.-based Billboard 200 albums chart, becoming her seventh leading set, and JENNIE's Ruby begins at No. 7.
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' leads the Global 200 with 116.9 million streams (up 4%) and 9,000 sold (up 17%) worldwide March 7-13.
Nos. 2-4 on the Global 200 hold in place, with ROSÉ and Mars' 'APT.' at No. 2, after 12 weeks at No. 1 starting in November; Kendrick Lamar and SZA's 'Luther' at its No. 3 high; and Lamar's 'Not Like Us' at No. 4, following four weeks at No. 1 beginning last May.
JENNIE's 'like JENNIE' soars in at No. 5 on the Global 200 with 68.4 million streams and 6,000 sold worldwide. The BLACKPINK member adds her fourth solo top 10 on the chart; the group has likewise collected four top 10s, while fellow members LISA (three top 10s), ROSÉ (two) and Jisoo (one) have also hit the tier as soloists.
Also in the Global 200's top 10, Doechii's 'Anxiety' bounds in at No. 6 with 56.9 million streams and 9,000 sold, becoming her first top 10. The history of the song – recorded in 2019 – is winding: When it was available only via YouTube, Sleepy Hallow co-opted its hook for the chorus of his own 'A N X I E T Y'; billed to Sleepy Hallow featuring Doechii, it was released in 2023. The update experienced a TikTok-led revival in recent weeks, as users have soundtracked the 'A N X I E T Y' chorus to a scene of Will Smith and Tatyana Ali dancing from an episode of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, the Smith-led sitcom that aired on NBC in 1990-96. 'A N X I E T Y' falls 21-27 in its second week on the Global 200, led by 29.6 million streams worldwide (down 2%).
Meanwhile, the new attention for 'A N X I E T Y' sent fans to Doechii's solo, YouTube-only version, prompting the rapper/singer to release her original 'Anxiety' wide to digital and streaming retailers on March 4. Her version debuts on the Global 200 following the first full tracking week (March 7-13) reflecting its wider release (and split consumption options with Sleepy Hallow's take, which, as noted above, dips slightly in streams).
Additionally, 'Anxiety' and 'A N X I E T Y' prominently sample Gotye's 'Somebody That I Used To Know' (featuring Kimbra), the 2012 smash that topped the Billboard Hot 100 for eight weeks, was that year's No. 1 Hot 100 song and went on to win two Grammy Awards, including record of the year. That hit vaults 191-130 on the Global 200, up 20% to 16.5 million streams and 27% to 1,000 sold worldwide in the tracking week.
On Global Excl. U.S., 'Die With a Smile' rises 2-1 with 92.3 million streams (up 2%) and 4,000 sold (up 17%) outside the U.S. March 7-13.
'APT.' descends to No. 2 after a record 17 weeks atop Global Excl. U.S. beginning in November.
JENNIE's 'like JENNIE' enters Global Excl. U.S. at No. 3 with 61.5 million streams and 4,000 sold outside the U.S. She achieves her fifth solo top 10 on the chart – surpassing the four top 10s that BLACKPINK and the group's LISA as a soloist have each notched; ROSÉ boasts two solo top 10s and Jisoo, one.
Billie Eilish's 'Birds of a Feather' holds at No. 4 on Global Excl. U.S., after three weeks on top last August, and Gaga's 'Abracadabra' magically reappears in the top five (8-5), after reaching No. 4.
Plus, Doechii's 'Anxiety' debuts as her first Global Excl. U.S. top 10 at No. 7, with 36.9 million streams and 4,000 sold outside the U.S.
The Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts (dated March 22, 2025) will update on Billboard.com tomorrow, March 18. For both charts, the top 100 titles are available to all readers on Billboard.com, while the complete 200-title rankings are visible on Billboard Pro, Billboard's subscription-based service. For all chart news, you can follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram.

SNL: We Pick the 15 Funniest Sketches of Season 50 — Watch Video
Saturday Night Live's landmark 50th season has come and gone… and as usual, it left us with plenty of big laughs. NBC's sketch comedy institution wrapped up Season 50 last month, bringing back lots of familiar faces along the way, with cameos from legendary alumni like Adam Sandler and Tina Fey. But SNL delivered some instant-classic sketches this season, too — maybe even ones we'll still be talking about 50 years from now. (We'll probably have to explain to our grandchildren who or what Moo Deng was, though.) More from TVLine #OneChicago: Find Out Which Stars Are Set to Return This Fall - Plus, Fire, Med and P.D. Episode Counts Revealed Outlander's Jamie and Claire Get Goofy in Bed and Other Season 7 Bloopers - Watch Exclusive Reel AGT Just Brought Back Two Acts for Redemption in Season 20 - and One Got a Golden Buzzer! (Watch) We're celebrating the end of another SNL season — and a half-century of Studio 8H greatness — by looking back at the funniest Season 50 sketches, from uproarious live moments to pre-taped short films to Weekend Update characters we hope to see a lot more of in future seasons. Our favorite sketches include stellar work from hosts like Ariana Grande, John Mulaney and… Lady Gaga? Who knew she was a comedy powerhouse? (Note: In the interest of fairness, we left off any sketches from February's live SNL50 anniversary special — although those were fantastic, too. Click here for a full rundown.) Read on to see which Season 50 sketches made the cut — press PLAY on the photo that accompanies each entry to watch the sketch in full — and be sure to hit the comments below and let us know if we left off any of your favorites. This short film is a real emotional roller coaster, telling the tale of a cute monkey that was sent into outer space at the dawn of the Space Race — and might not make it back home. The Mad Men-era period detail is exquisite here, and Beppo's story actually becomes genuinely poignant at times. (We're rooting for you, Beppo!) But John Mulaney and company make sure to weave lots of absurd humor into the mix, even when things go dark. (And zero forever.) Ariana Grande really showed off her vocal range in this goofy trip back to the Italian Renaissance, playing a young boy who has an incredibly high singing voice… thanks to an involuntary castration. (Poor Antonio.) The sight gag of Grande's haunted face is priceless, and SNL greats Maya Rudolph and Andy Samberg even pop in to explain the castration process in broad Italian accents: 'We never cut. We just-a twist!' Weekend Update anchors Colin Jost and Michael Che's annual joke swap is always a good time, where they write incredibly offensive jokes for each other to read on air without seeing them first. They really outdo themselves here, though, with Jost comparing his wife Scarlett Johansson's, um, private area to Costco roast beef — with a shocked Johansson watching live backstage. She did eventually get an apology from Che… penned by Jost, of course. Yes, Shane Gillis bombed hard with his controversial monologue — and his episode earned a 'F' grade from TVLine readers — but we did find a silver lining in this commercial parody, where Gillis hawks a tried-and-true medication for men facing anxiety and depression: Just down a couple beers! His confidence goes through the roof, and he uses the wonder drug to cope with everything from 'winter' to 'museum.' (Watch it here.) No frills or cameos here: This is just a good old-fashioned hilarious sketch, led by new featured player Ashley Padilla as a wife who tells embarrassingly horrible jokes at a company dinner. (Or just one embarrassingly horrible joke, really. Over and over again.) Padilla's magnificently over-the-top delivery won our hearts immediately. She better be back next season, Lorne. SNL pays tribute to a cultural staple with this fake ad for every older woman's favorite accessory: little red glasses! (They say, 'I teach Philosophy of Dance, and I eat tapas every night.') Lady Gaga's Noo Yawk accent is fantastically on point here, and the heightening rises to absurd levels: 'I have a Celestial Seasonings credit card!' Two keys to making a great SNL sketch: (1) Give Kenan Thompson a crazy character to play, and (2) let him cook. Here, he plays rock'n'roll legend Little Richard, who repeatedly pops up on a cheesy '90s family sitcom for some reason. We're not asking too many questions; we'll just enjoy Thompson letting out joyous 'woooo's and delivering the immortal line: 'I'm sorry that your goddamn dog died.' Who is Lord Gaga? Why, he's Lady Gaga's husband, of course! Mikey Day brings the perfect air of snooty pomposity to this Weekend Update character, who is the heir to a vast textile empire and condescendingly applauds his wife's little 'hobby' in the arts. ('If only it all paid, eh?') But the joke goes to another level when Lord Gaga mocks the very idea of a man being outearned by his wife… while Colin Jost (husband to Scarlett Johansson) just sits there and seethes. Season 50's cameo cavalcade peaked in this cold open, with Martin Short getting inducted into SNL's vaunted Five-Timers Club by a glitzy parade of A-list luminaries led by Tom Hanks and Paul Rudd. The sheer star wattage here is almost overwhelming, but they bring the jokes, too, including Kristen Wiig's weird sexual energy and a delightful reunion of 30 Rock stars Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin. For SNL junkies, this is a real Christmas gift. This glorious Weekend Update character, with Bowen Yang playing the cute baby hippo that became a viral sensation, offers both high and low comedy. On one hand, we get a painfully pretentious Moo Deng complaining about his sudden fame, a la Chappell Roan. ('I will not be making an endorsement in this year's election.') And on the other, we get Yang in a hippo suit trying to drink water from a hose fired right at his face. Truly the best of both worlds. Walton Goggins turns the sleaze factor up to 11 for this riotous sketch, playing a wildly flirty waiter entertaining a pair of middle-aged moms at a Mother's Day brunch — and annoying their sons. Goggins sells it with his suggestively unbuttoned shirt and his smooth Southern drawl, hitting on the ladies with outrageous lines like when he told the sons: 'You got to spend nine months inside your mama, I'm just trying to get 20 minutes.' (Watch it here.) Here, host Jon Hamm and Bowen Yang play a gay couple who bring their new baby to a get-together — only their friends gently point out that they didn't have a baby a day ago. Hamm and Yang treat their friends' very reasonable questions about where the baby came from as wildly offensive homophobic slurs. ('People think they can ask gay people anything! It's not OK!') Plus, we kind of love Hamm and Yang's chemistry as a couple. We 'ship them! Hear us out! Andy Samberg and his Lonely Island pals make a triumphant return to SNL with this absolute banger, with Samberg and Akiva Schaffer pitching a stuffy business boardroom on their new innovation: a sushi glory hole. ('Instead of strange d—k, you'd be getting a snack.') Now we're not saying we'd kneel down in a dirty bathroom stall just to enjoy some high-end raw fish… but the song is pretty convincing. Michael Longfellow is deliciously sadistic as the host of this game show sketch, which simply asks contestants to correctly name a person. John Mulaney plays a sanctimonious contestant who claims to be an expert on politics… but can't even name Hillary Clinton's VP pick Tim Kaine when he's standing right in front of him. (Kaine is a very good sport about it, too.) And when the host challenges Mulaney's contestant to remember the name of a single one of the Black victims of police violence he had once tweeted out with the hashtag #RememberTheirNames, calling him 'pal of mine' in the process? Chef's kiss. (Watch it here.) SNL's repetitive Trump parodies got tiresome by the end of Season 50, but they thankfully find a new twist on it here by satirizing the HBO hit The White Lotus and putting Donald Trump and his family on an ill-fated trip to Thailand. Scarlett Johansson reprises her role as Ivanka Trump, Chloe Fineman's impression of Parker Posey (sorry, Melania Trump) is perfectly spot-on, and Jon Hamm delivers a pretty nifty RFK Jr. to boot. (We'll just ignore the cheap swipe taken at Aimee Lou Wood's teeth.)

Shakira, Blackpink and more: 10 must-see Southern California concerts this summer
Craving a break from the desert heat? Or just missing the desert music festival season?

Here are 10 concerts that The Desert Sun recommends checking out.

If you're still up for seeing the Colombian singer-songwriter, she'll perform at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood on June 20.

Linkin Park will perform on Sept. 13 at the Intuit Dome as part of the From Zero World Tour. The show was originally going to be at Dodger Stadium but was switched to the Intuit Dome due to low ticket sales. But the tour features stunning visuals and Armstrong's debut during the band's 2024 performance at the KIA Forum in Los Angeles was well-received.
