Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ “Die With a Smile” scores a 17th week at No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200 chart. The song also adds a 14th 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 atop the Global 200 with 90.7 million streams (down 1% week-over-week) and 6,000 sold (down 3%) worldwide April 11-17. At 17 weeks, the song moves to within two weeks of 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)
- 17 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” ascends 3-2 for a new Global 200 high; “APT.” dips 2-3; Billie Eilish’s “Birds of a Feather” holds at No. 4 following three weeks at No. 1 last August; and Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s “Luther” lifts 6-5 after reaching No. 3 in March.
“Die With a Smile” runs up a 14th week at No. 1 on Global Excl. U.S., with 73.5 million streams (down 1%) and 3,000 sold (up 2%) outside the U.S. The song ties for the second-longest command in the chart’s archives:
- 19 weeks at No. 1, “APT.,” ROSÉ & Bruno Mars (2024-25)
- 14 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)
“APT.” keeps at No. 2 on Global Excl. U.S.; “Ordinary” is steady at its No. 3 best; JENNIE’s “like JENNIE” rebounds 5-4 after hitting No. 3; and “Birds of a Feather” backtracks 4-5, after three weeks at No. 1 last August.
