“Die With a Smile” is the smash that won’t quit. More than a year into its run, the Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga duet remains one of the most-consumed tracks in America, settling into the top 10 on nearly every tally it calls home. The throwback-leaning cut keeps creeping up the longevity lists in both stars’ discographies, and this frame it levels up again on one of Billboard’s toughest rankings.
“Die With a Smile” Ties “Uptown Funk”
In the United States, “Die With a Smile” has now spent 54 weeks on the Radio Songs chart. As of its latest stay, the cut ties “Uptown Funk” with Mark Ronson as Mars’s longest-running entry on the all-genre radio ranking. Both now share the crown for total weeks on the tally – but one more frame will hand “Die With a Smile” the title outright.
10 No. 1s on the Radio Songs Chart
Both tracks are counted among Mars’s collection of 10 leaders on the Radio Songs chart. “Uptown Funk” remains his longest-running No. 1 on the ranking, as it ruled for 12 weeks. “Die With a Smile” managed eight frames at the summit earlier in its lifespan before stepping aside, but it has barely slipped from the highest spaces.
“Die With a Smile” Keeps at No. 4
This week, “Die With a Smile” holds at No. 4 on Radio Songs. The cut continues to rack up massive numbers of audience spins, which means that the duet isn’t nearing the end of its radio life just yet. If it logs another frame on the roster – which is all but certain at this point – it will become Mars’s longest-running Radio Songs chart smash, pulling ahead of “Uptown Funk.”
A Major Win on Pop Radio
The track’s strength isn’t limited to the general radio chart. On the Hot 100, “Die With a Smile” rises one spot to No. 10. The collaboration sits at No. 2 on the Adult Pop Airplay ranking, steady from last frame, and it advances from No. 4 to No. 3 on the Adult Contemporary list.
Lady Gaga’s Longest-Charting Radio Smash
Months ago, “Die With a Smile” became Lady Gaga’s longest-running entry on the Radio Songs chart. It pushed past both “Just Dance” with Colby O’Donis and “Shallow” with Bradley Cooper, which are now tied for second place at 37 weeks apiece.
