Throughout her career, Lady Gaga has enjoyed incredible success at radio in the U.S. She has produced more airplay favorites than many other pop stars could dream of, and well over a decade into her time in the spotlight, she's performing better than ever with one of her most recent deliveries.
"Die With a Smile," Gaga's collaboration with Bruno Mars, has turned out to be not just a hit, but a career-defining success for both stars. Months after the tune dropped, it remains a huge commercial win — especially in terms of radio play. As it holds on, the cut becomes a standout smash for Gaga.
"Die With a Smile" has now lived on Billboard's Radio Songs chart for 38 weeks. The tally ranks the tunes that collect the largest total number of audience impressions across the U.S. each frame. The song's widespread appeal has led to constant rotation — not just on pop stations, but across multiple formats.
This time around, it drops from No. 2 to No. 3 on the Radio Songs tally. That's a very lofty position for any track that has spent that much time on what is often considered one of Billboard's most competitive rankings.
As "Die With a Smile" holds on, it breaks out of a three-way tie and officially becomes Gaga's longest-charting success on the Radio Songs list. Last frame, it was matched with "Shallow," her collaboration with Bradley Cooper, and her breakout tune "Just Dance," which also credits Colby O'Donis. Those two cuts spent 37 frames somewhere on the roster before disappearing, and are now matched as her second-longest-running successes.
"Die With a Smile" still has a long way to go before becoming the longest-charting tune in Mars's discography. As it hits 38 weeks on the list, it stands as his sixth-longest-running win on the Radio Songs roster. One more frame, and it will match "Leave the Door Open," which Mars released alongside Anderson .Paak as one-half of Silk Sonic. "Uptown Funk" with Mark Ronson remains the tune by Mars with the most frames spent on the Radio Songs chart, with 54 stays on the tally.
