Lady Gaga Breaks Her Own Hot 100 Record
Lady Gaga's 'Die With a Smile' spends 50 weeks on the Hot 100, becoming her longest-charting hit and surpassing 'Just Dance,' which lasted 49 weeks. SNL50: THE RED CARPET — Pictured: Lady Gaga on Sunday, February 16, 2025 — (Photo by NBC/Noam Galai/NBC via Getty Images) Noam Galai/NBC via Getty Images Lady Gaga is primarily known as a dance-pop musician. She got her start in that style and helped repopularize electronic music all around the world more than a decade ago. Throughout the years she's been a superstar, the singer-songwriter has tried her hand at other genres and found great success in some cases. One of her most recent singles, 'Die With a Smile,' favors vintage instrumentation and a '70s R&B/pop vibe, and that proved to be a winning mix for both her and partner Bruno Mars. This frame, the cut earns another special place in Gaga's catalog as it remains one of the biggest tunes in America. 'Die With a Smile' has spent 50 weeks on the Hot 100 as of this frame. It is now Gaga's first tune to make it to that milestone number on Billboard's most competitive songs chart, which ranks the most consumed tunes in the U.S. by blending airplay, sales, and streaming activity. As it hits 50 weeks on the 100-spot ranking, 'Die With a Smile' breaks out of a tie with 'Just Dance,' Gaga's first smash. That tune, a collaboration with Colby O'Donis, stood as Gaga's longest-running Hot 100 win for well over a decade, as it managed 49 stays beginning in mid-2008. That was a massive success at the time, as the tally was compiled in a different manner. Streaming activity was not yet factored into chart methodology, and there weren't rules that removed tunes after a certain length of time if they didn't sit above a specific level. Streams have helped keep smashes on the Hot 100 for longer and longer stretches, and 'Die With a Smile' isn't done yet. As the smash becomes Gaga's longest-running Hot 100 hit, it remains one of the top 10 biggest songs in America this week. 'Die With a Smile' keeps at No. 10 yet again, a position it has occupied for several periods in a row. In two weeks, it will almost certainly become Gaga's first one-year winner on the competitive tally. When it comes to Mars' discography, 'Die With a Smile' is his third hit to reach 50 weeks on the Hot 100. The Grammy-winning tune is just two frames behind 'That's What I Like,' and it will need to live on the list for another half-dozen turns before it matches 'Uptown Funk' — his song with Mark Ronson — in terms of longevity. 'Die With a Smile' appears on half a dozen U.S.-based Billboard rankings this frame. It lives inside the top 10 on a trio of radio lists, including the Adult Pop Airplay, Radio Songs, and Adult Contemporary charts, and holds on inside the top five on all of them. While it's no longer a bestseller, 'Die With a Smile' also appears at No. 35 on the all-genre Streaming Songs tally, where it also celebrates 50 weeks.

Lady Gaga's Biggest Singles Match One Another — For Now
Lady Gaga first rose to fame by reintroducing millions of Americans to electronic dance-pop with her breakout hit "Just Dance." The tune, which arrived in mid-2008, has stood as her longest-charting single ever since then — until now. This week, the song that started it all is finally matched by one of Gaga's most recent releases, which couldn't sound less like her introductory hit – and yet, the two have now spent the same amount of time on the Hot 100. 49 Weeks on the Hot 100 "Die With a Smile," Gaga's collaboration with Bruno Mars, reaches 49 weeks on the Hot 100. As it hits that milestone, "Die With a Smile" ties "Just Dance" for the honor of being Gaga's longest-running success on the most important songs tally in America. "Die With a Smile" Vs. 'Just Dance' Once again, "Die With a Smile" holds at No. 10 on the Hot 100. The fact that it remains within the chart's highest tier after 49 weeks — at which point "Just Dance" was about to disappear — speaks volumes about the popularity of "Die With a Smile" and how rankings are now compiled differently these days. "Die With a Smile" Will Likely Win in a Few Days It seems inevitable that "Die With a Smile" will pass "Just Dance" in just a few days, and there's no telling how much longer it might remain on the list. The track appears to be a surefire bet to become Gaga's first to hit a full year on the competitive ranking, and it could continue to find space on the Hot 100 for months. "Die With a Smile" Beats 'Just the Way You Are' For Mars, "Die With a Smile" breaks out of a tie with his own breakout hit "Just the Way You Are" to become his third-longest-charting Hot 100 smash. "Uptown Funk" with Mark Ronson remains his greatest success, as it spent 56 weeks on the tally, 14 of which were at No. 1. "That's What I Like," which topped the ranking once in May 2017, slipped off after exactly a year. "Die With a Smile" is all but certain to match "That's What I Like" within a month. Whether it can catch up to "Uptown Funk," however, remains to be seen.

Lady Gaga kicked off her ‘Mayhem Ball Tour.' What songs made the setlist?
Vivid Seats is the New York Post's official ticketing partner. We may receive revenue from this partnership for sharing this content and/or when you make a purchase. Featured pricing is subject to change. The 'Mayhem Ball' has finally dropped. Four long months after releasing her seventh studio album 'Mayhem,' Lady Gaga launched her highly-anticipated North American arena tour at Las Vegas' T-Mobile Arena on Wednesday, July 16. Over five exquisitely-titled acts and an encore, Ms. Germanotta delivered 27 songs. They ran the gamut from chart-topping radio staples like 'Poker Face,' 'Paparazzi' and 'Just Dance' to her emotive, soul-baring duets 'Shallow' and 'Die With A Smile' to cuts from 'Mayhem,' according to Set List FM. When all was said and done, she closed the concert with the slinky party-starting singalong 'How Bad Do U Want Me.' 'Its ideas were as big as its presentation, and Gaga kept its focus with over-the-top theatrics and an even greater vision,' Variety raved in a review of the Sin City show. '…but at the heart of her performance was a parade of hits that served as the backbone of the Gaga experience, one that continuously elicited screams and chants from the attendees decked out in Gaga costumes.' Variety also noted that Gaga had surprisingly switched up the second half of her live show compared to what she'd staged in Singapore this past spring while warming up for the tour. 'There was no 'Blade of Grass' or 'Always Remember Us This Way,' as she'd sung in Singapore; instead, she folded in 'Applause' and 'Summerboy,' and swapped 'How Bad Do U Want Me' as the evening's closer. She sang a new rendition of 'Die With a Smile' at the lip of the stage on a piano; 'Shallow' had a fresh arrangement that offered a different texture to the melodramatic ballad.' If you'd like to see the shape-shifting, versatile 14-time Grammy winner put on her one-of-a-kind show live, tickets are available for all upcoming North American concerts (including her five at Madison Square Garden this August and September). For more information, our team has everything you need to know and more about Lady Gaga's 'Mayhem Ball Tour' below.

Lady Gaga set list On Wednesday, July 16, Gaga played her first official 'Mayhem Ball Tour' concert at Las Vegas' T-Mobile Stadium. According to Set List FM, here's what she took to the stage. Act I: Of Velvet And Vice 01.) 'Bloody Mary' 02.) 'Abracadabra' 03.) 'Judas/Aura' 04.) 'Scheiße' 05.) 'Garden of Eden' 06.) 'Poker Face Act II: And She Fell Into A Gothic Dream 07.) 'Perfect Celebrity' 08.) 'Disease' 09.) 'Paparazzi' 10.) 'LoveGame' 11.) 'Alejandro' 12.) 'The Beast' Act III: The Beautiful Nightmare That Knows Her Name 13.) 'Killah' 14.) Zombieboy' 15.) 'LoveDrug' 16.) 'Applause' 17.) 'Just Dance' Act IV: Every Chessboard Has Two Queens 18.) 'Shadow of a Man' 19.) 'Kill for Love' 20.) 'Summerboy' 21.) 'Born This Way' 22.) 'Million Reasons' 23.) 'Shallow' 24.) 'Die With a Smile' 25.) 'Vanish Into You' Finale: Eternal Aria of the Monster Heart 26.) 'Bad Romance' Encore 27.) 'How Bad Do U Want Me' Lady Gaga new music On March 7, Lady Gaga dropped her seventh studio album 'Mayhem.' The energetic, maximalist dance pop record — which many rightly call a return to form — rarely takes a moment to breathe (save for the final two tracks, which veer into singalong ballad territory). Over its 53-minute runtime, Gaga goes hard providing her signature powerful vocals over shimmery synths, thumping percussion and the occasional epic guitar riff. And, yes, it's an absolute blast that we went gaga over. Standouts here include the anthemic, electro 'Disease,' disco jam 'Abracadabra,' creepy, hypnotic bop 'Killah,' glittery foot-stomper 'Zombieboy' and retro, New Wave-esque 'Don't Call Tonight.' Still, our top track has to be the lead single, Gaga's throwback 'Die With A Smile' duet with Bruno Mars. Sweeping yet intimate and thrillingly romantic, the heartfelt tune pairs perfectly as an upbeat counterpart to her similarlly swooning 'Shallow.' It's essential and we'd bet will likely become a staple at Gaga tours for the next few decades.

Lady Gaga kicks off Mayhem Ball tour in Las Vegas, full setlist revealed
Lady Gaga launched her 2025 Mayhem Ball tour with a packed opening night at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, marking the first official date of the North American run. The performance included a full setlist of crowd favourites, rare live returns, and new arrangements. The show largely mirrored her earlier Coachella performances, but with several key additions. Tracks like 'Applause,' 'Just Dance,' 'Shadow of a Man,' and 'LoveDrug' were not featured in her previous 2025 sets. 'Kill for Love,' from the Mayhem album, made its live debut. One of the standout moments came during 'Shallow,' which received a visual update, performed by Gaga from a gondola. A solo version of 'Die With a Smile' was also reworked. Although 'Bad Romance' closed the main set and the credits rolled, Gaga returned for an unlisted encore of 'How Bad Do U Want Me,' dressed casually in a Cramps t-shirt. The full setlist included: Bloody Mary Abracadabra Judas Aura Scheiße Garden of Eden Poker Face Perfect Celebrity Disease Paparazzi LoveGame Alejandro The Beast Killah Zombieboy Love Drug Applause Just Dance Shadow of a Man Kill for Love Summerboy Born This Way Million Reasons Shallow Die With a Smile Vanish Into You Bad Romance How Bad Do U Want Me The concert ran two hours and 12 minutes. Gaga will perform multiple shows in Las Vegas, Seattle, New York, Miami, Toronto, and Chicago before taking the tour to Europe in September.

Lady Gaga's Longest-Charting Hits All Have Something In Common
Lady Gaga's three longest-charting Hot 100 hits are all collaborations with male solo artists, ... More including "Just Dance," "Shallow" and "Die with a Smile." SNL50: THE RED CARPET — Pictured: Lady Gaga on Sunday, February 16, 2025 — (Photo by NBC/Noam Galai/NBC via Getty Images) 'Die With a Smile,' the collaboration between Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars, has become her second-longest-charting hit on the Hot 100. This time around, the Grammy-winning smash holds steady at No. 8 once again, ranking as one of the 10 biggest tracks in America, 45 weeks into its lifetime on the tally. The tune is likely to remain on the list for quite some time, and its success underscores a running theme for Gaga — one that has proved fruitful for her on several occasions. Collaborations Are King All three of Gaga's longest-charting singles on the Hot 100 share something in common: they are collaborations with other artists. Not just other musicians, but solo male acts. Two of them are proper duets, while another credits a featured act who delivered just a single verse. 'Die With a Smile' is matched with 'Shallow,' Gaga's Oscar-winning collaboration with Bradley Cooper from the film A Star Is Born and its accompanying soundtrack. The two hits have racked up 45 frames apiece on the ranking, but 'Die With a Smile' will likely break that tie in just a few days. 'Just Dance' Still Leads Gaga's longest-running winner on the Hot 100 remains 'Just Dance,' which launched her into the pop music stratosphere. That dance-pop cut lived on the tally for 49 frames, and it easily stands out as featured star Colby O'Donis's most successful track in America. 'Die With a Smile' and 'Shallow' When it comes to both 'Die With a Smile' and 'Shallow,' the star power of the musician sitting alongside Gaga may have been instrumental in their success. Cooper was never known as a musician, but he is an A-list movie star, and all the excitement around the two performing at the Academy Awards propelled the track to No. 1. Mars is, of course, one of the most successful pop hitmakers of the past several decades, and it's easy to understand how the fan bases of the two musicians have kept the tune afloat. O'Donis, however, was only slightly more famous than Gaga when 'Just Dance' arrived, and his career tapered off quickly afterward. It was the catchy quality of that track and the novelty of electronic dance-pop that made 'Just Dance' as huge as it was well over a decade ago. 'Poker Face' and 'Bad Romance' Buck the Trend Gaga's next two longest-charting tracks on the Hot 100 are solo affairs, as 'Poker Face' and 'Bad Romance' lived on the list for 40 and 35 frames, respectively. Much of Gaga's output that has reached the tally only credits her, though she has also landed big wins alongside stars like Beyoncé, Ariana Grande and even R. Kelly.
