Lady Gaga's New Single Matches Her Career-Starting Smash

Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars' 'Die With a Smile' earns a forty-first week on the Hot 100, passing 'Poker ... More Face' to become her third-longest-charting hit.

Lady Gaga proved she was no one-hit wonder when she first broke out, scoring back-to-back No. 1 hits on the Hot 100. "Just Dance," her collaboration with then-rising musician Colby O'Donis, rocketed her to the top spot immediately. She followed it up quickly with "Poker Face," another champion. Both tracks remain among the most popular in a discography packed with pop smashes, and they rank as some of her longest-charting successes on the Hot 100.
Now, one of them has been bested by one of Gaga's most recent singles, one which sounds absolutely nothing like its predecessors.
Last week, "Poker Face" was tied with "Die With a Smile" in Gaga's discography as her third-longest-running success on the Hot 100. Both tunes had managed to find space on the roster of the most consumed songs in America for 40 weeks, but that tie has now been broken.
"Die With a Smile," Gaga's duet with Bruno Mars, holds on and earns a forty-first stay on the tally. Now, it stands alone as her third-longest-charting Hot 100 win, while "Poker Face" has been bumped slightly to fourth.
It will be about a month before "Die With a Smile" is able to advance again. "Shallow," Gaga's Oscar-winning track with Bradley Cooper, spent 45 weeks on the Hot 100. "Die With a Smile" will need to remain on the tally for yet another month after that before reaching the heights of "Just Dance," which lived on the list for 49 frames and ranks as Gaga's longest-charting release.
While eight more frames on the Hot 100 is quite a lot to accomplish, it's entirely possible that "Die With a Smile" will match "Just Dance" one day — and perhaps even beat it. There's even a shot at it becoming Gaga's first tune to live on the Hot 100 for an entire year.
This frame, "Die With a Smile" sits at No. 7 on the Hot 100, dropping only one spot. Continued radio play is largely keeping the track alive, as the duet remains in heavy rotation across a number of pop formats. This week, the throwback track appears on four of Billboard's radio tallies, and it lives inside the top 10 on all of them, even after 41 frames.

WWE SmackDown results, highlights (June 6): John Cena hit with R-Truth chants

John Cena finally went out with the last word on one of his final WWE TV appearances. (Photo by Georgiana Dallas/WWE via Getty Images) WWE returned to Bakersfield, California, for "WWE SmackDown" before the big weekend of action in Los Angeles. The time for talk about the Money In the Bank briefcases is over, and beatings to get the upper hand were dealt. Those were mostly delivered by the faces trying to run the place over on "WWE Raw." ⚔️ Crossover of the Night An appearance from the "Sethriders" wasn't expected to open "WWE SmackDown," but that's exactly what happened, and they ran roughshod throughout the night. Advertisement It instantly became a turf war when Seth Rollins, Paul Heyman, Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker were interrupted by Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu and JC Mateo. That was an unexpected cherry on top of what was already transpiring. Rollins' promo beforehand was nothing special other than your typical pre-Money In the Bank "I'm going to win the briefcase" claims. This was all a fresh, pleasant surprise, though. Sikoa and Rollins' sides did an incredible job of creating tension without ending the segment in a brawl. Well done, Triple H. I'll give you your flowers for avoiding the implosion between two heel stables — something rare enough in its own right. That's the beauty of matches like the Money In the Bank ladder match. Sikoa shined in this interaction, saying Rollins had his own version of The Bloodline, and questioned which roles his henchmen were. He specifically called back to Reed's history, teaming together at War Games. That only further added to how silly and nonsensical Reed being with Rollins was, but there clearly won't be a reasonable explanation too soon. Advertisement Ultimately, this whole opener made me want Fatu vs. Breakker as soon as possible, and preferably on a PLE so that it doesn't end in a bogus DQ finish. WWE teased that match heavily, so fingers crossed that it happens one day. Another feud I never knew I needed was LA Knight vs. Rollins. 🙄 DQ of the Night Not that a reminder was needed of how good he is when speaking, but Knight received some solid mic time before his match with Aleister Black to cut a fantastic promo for Money In the Bank. He targeted all the participants and highlighted how he and Rollins haven't interacted much, which added to the intrigue of that pairing. Advertisement Then there was the surprise that shouldn't have been a surprise, which was Rollins giving Knight the win over Black with a DQ when he attacked him. Every. Single. Show. It's so damn annoying, man. Any match between decently pushed talent can't end cleanly on TV anymore. It takes the wind out of everything beforehand. 🫠 Miss of the Night WWE had the opportunity to keep all this Rollins momentum going after his trio took out Penta and Andrade. Heyman jumped on the mic to cut a promo and get cut off by Cody Rhodes, which led to the final segment between him, Uso, John Cena and Logan Paul. Advertisement You know what Rollins and crew did? They hit the bricks and just left the ring. What? They attack numerous wrestlers throughout the night, then decide not to be a part of the "biggest" angle in the company. In kayfabe, that couldn't have made less sense. Once Cena arrived, the crowd erupted with the loudest cheers of the night. Some heel champion, huh? Outside of Cena and Paul coming out on top for a change, hitting finishers on Uso and Rhodes, it was another nothing interaction, with Cena repeating everything he has already said in recent weeks. He's going to ruin wrestling, they're humble, blah, blah, blah. Fittingly, it was all capped off with "We want Truth" chants. Cena then appeared to riff off the cuff, saying, "You can't handle the truth." That was the best part of all of this, but still, the absence of Rollins was absurd. Somehow, the closing segment wasn't the... 😂 Joke of the Night WWE has to have some inside rib going on with the attempts to make as many Zelina Vega vs. The Secret Hervice matches as possible. This time, it was Vega vs. Piper Niven in a "Bakersfield Brawl." It's absolutely stunning to see the level of repetition that there's been in this women's U.S. title scene. Thankfully, this has to be the end. Advertisement Vega won with the help of Giulia, powerbombing Niven through a table. Then she attacked the champion. Overall, it was whatever. Before the match, the teasing between her and Giulia continued, which was enough evidence that Giulia won't win her ladder match tomorrow night. Regarding Giulia, she had one hell of a night overall. 👑 Uncrowned Gem of the Night 👑 The women's Money In the Bank ladder match is the better of the two on tap for the event, and with that much talent packed into one match, that should be no surprise. Put each half of the match against each other in a trio match, and you're destined for a banger. That's what we got as a little appetizer before Saturday. Advertisement The babyface squad of Rhea Ripley, Alexa Bliss and Stephanie Vaquer got the win over Roxanne Perez, Giulia and Naomi when the latter let Perez get hit with the Riptide. It was a smart move, honestly, and the commentary team pointed it out. There was essentially no point to that match other than for one team to weaken some of the competition, which was what Naomi did despite it being her partner. It was just a great match from start to finish, with everyone getting their hits in, mixing some together for fun spots. Circling back to Giulia, however there was a reference from Wade Barrett on commentary to Giulia possibly cashing in on Vega if she wins the ladder match after what she did earlier. With Vega as one of the weakest champions in recent memory, I don't know if a stupider and more unnecessary booking decision could possibly come to mind. 👍 FRIDAY NIGHT FIRE 👍 1. Interferences and dirty finishes are almost mandatory in WWE now, so if they're done even somewhat creatively, it's a plus. And that's what happened when Jimmy Uso defeated Mateo with a roll-up after Sikoa and Fatu's failed distraction attempt. Advertisement Mateo clocked Fatu off the apron, furthering the dissension in the group. That's all the match was good for. 2. To springboard off that latter highlight, Sikoa talking smack behind Fatu's back was too good not to give a separate bullet. When this guy gets really into character, it's hilarious, man. 3. The King and Queen of the Ring tournaments are back starting next week. WWE appeared to give us a possible tease for the Queen of the Ring finals between Jade Cargill and Charlotte Flair. I know the fans certainly won't like that with Flair's side, but that's a great match and rivalry we need to see, especially with Cargill going over. 4. All of the top tag teams on "WWE SmackDown" gathered around backstage with general manager Nick Aldis to try and solve the Wyatt Sicks problem. This was pretty clever and cool to see, actually. It ended with Fraxiom being the ones to call for a match first. Nothing was made official, but I'm very curious to see how this whole overbooked tag team scene is handled. 🤷 IT HAPPENED 🤷 1. Penta and Andrade defeated American Made. This was a great match and showed how awesome of a team Penta and Andrade can be together. Why isn't this an overall positive, though? Because they're not a real tag team like the Creed Brothers are. So, the Creeds were just used at the expense of Chad Gable and his story. It's fine and to be expected at this point, but it would be better to see them secure wins for the division, as "WWE Raw" is currently lacking. Advertisement To make it even worse, and more hilarious, considering what happened to Knight, Rollins and crew attacked Penta and Andrade afterward. Poor American Made isn't even worth enough of a damn to Triple H to lose via his beloved DQ. 👎 DOWN & OUT 👎 1. Regarding the Wyatt Sicks, a cryptic and non-explanatory vignette preceded the tag team meeting with Aldis. All Bo Dallas said was that he and his crew were now family, and would take what they're owed. OK. Honestly, Dallas resembling a young Jack Black was more distracting than anything. 2. Jey Uso legitimately felt like nothing more than a meme, catchphrase wrestler next to Rhodes. 👑 This "WWE SmackDown" was really weird, and you felt the three hours. As usual, a lot of mixed feelings. I give this show a Crown score of: 6/10. 👑

Addison Rae Introduces Herself With Debut Album ‘Addison'

Addison Rae Getty Images for Coachella In just a few short years, Addison Rae has risen from budding TikTok star to pop music's newest 'it' girl. She made a splash on the Billboard Hot 100 last year with 'Diet Pepsi' and returned to the chart for her recent single 'Headphones On." That climb has culminated in Rae's self-titled debut album Addison, out now. Though she's only a few years into her career, Rae projects the confidence of an industry veteran on the album, as evidenced by most recent single 'Fame Is a Gun," proclaiming 'There's no mystery, I'm gonna make it, gonna go down in history / Don't ask too many questions, God gave me the permission / And when you shame me, it makes me want it more.' When reflecting on her journey and where she is now in a recent cover story with Elle, Rae explained that she's reached a place in her career where she's in control of what she does. 'I have the luxury now to say no to things I'm not interested in, or that don't feel like me or aren't reflective of who I am. It's still a job, at the end of the day. Everybody is trying to survive — I'm trying to survive and live here and do all these things that I love — but I definitely have become more intentional, because I do think saying no to things opens up a door for a much better yes,' she said. Still, she isn't resting on her laurels just as she's making her big debut in the pop world. 'What does that even mean, really, to be the pop girl? Let's see if the songs get more popular, then they can call me a pop girl," she mused to Variety. 'This is my shot. I've got to go big.'

Mariah Carey is back to heat up summer with a new bop — 20 years after ‘We Belong Together'

For years, Mariah Carey has reigned as the Queen of Christmas. With that unsnatchable crown, the 56-year-old diva has seemed perfectly content to chill until defrosting herself right after Halloween to rule the holiday season with 'All I Want for Christmas Is You.' But now MC is heating up a different season — summer — with her first proper new single since her last studio album, 2018's 'Caution.' And 'Type Dangerous' — released to the delight of Lambs all over on Friday — threatens to be one of the bops of summer. Advertisement 4 Mariah Carey is back with 'Type Dangerous,' her first proper single since her 2018 album 'Caution.' Ethan James Green Yes, 20 years after Carey owned the summer of 2000 with 'We Belong Together,' she's back. It's not so hard to believe — you can never keep a good diva down. Advertisement 'Type Dangerous' marks another comeback for Carey after 'We Belong Together' — from her blockbuster album 'The Emancipation of Mimi' — put Carey back on top after a period of relative decline. Arriving just one week after the 20th anniversary edition of 'The Emancipation of Mimi,' 'Type Dangerous' sounds as if it could've been on that legendary 2005 LP. Sampling the Eric B. & Rakim classic 'Eric B. Is President,' it pays homage to Carey's history as one of the first pop artists to really embrace hip-hop and collaborate with rappers, going all the way back to Ol' Dirty Bastard on the 'Fantasy' remix. 4 Mariah Carey's new single, 'Type Dangerous,' previews her upcoming album that is being teased as 'MC16.' Dennis Leupold Advertisement And with that bumping bass line, it sounds like New York in the summertime. The lyrics might get a little silly for a certified icon in her fabulous 50s — should she really be dealing with a 'computer boy toy' who's 'on the web hacking other girls' files'? — but Carey can still pull off silly as well as sassy. (And hey, she doesn't celebrate birthdays but anniversaries, so really she's ageless.) 4 Mariah Carey recently filmed a video for her new single 'Type Dangerous.' Instagram/ Mariah Carey Advertisement 4 Mariah Carey received the Icon Award at the iHeartRadio Music Awards in March. Getty Images for iHeartRadio Hearing her coo that 'I like 'em dangerous' while 'I don't have time for the rigmarole' doesn't have to make any kind of sense, but it sure is fun when the beat is this sweet. Perhaps that jolt of joy comes from the fact that 'Type Dangerous' was co-written by Carey's rumored new beau — and Bruno Mars' partner in Silk Sonic. It sounds like mama is having a good time — and so do we. While it remains to be seen if Carey can still hold her own on the charts with the Sabrina Carpenters of the world — the 'Espresso' singer also just dropped a new summer bop, 'Manchild' — it's great to hear her sounding fierce and refreshed. And apparently there is more new music on the way from her upcoming album being teased as 'MC16.' Consider us obsessed — again.
