Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars' collaboration "Die With a Smile" has become Spotify's fastest song to reach one billion streams, surpassing Miley Cyrus' previous record set by "Flowers" last year.

The track, released in August, debuted at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and dominated the Billboard Global 200 for eight consecutive weeks. Multiple versions followed, including an acoustic rendition and a "Live in Las Vegas" edition in October. The song has earned nominations for Song of the Year and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance at the 2025 Grammy Awards.

The duo first performed the song live at Mars' Los Angeles Intuit Dome show, followed by a performance at his Las Vegas Park MGM residency. Gaga expressed gratitude on Instagram, celebrating the song's impact on fans worldwide.

This achievement adds to both artists' impressive track records. Bruno Mars now ties with Justin Bieber for the most Pop Airplay #1 hits among male solo artists at 10, while Lady Gaga has secured her eighth.

Currently, Gaga is preparing for her seventh album release in February, having recently dropped its lead single "Disease." She also released "Harlequin" in September, accompanying the musical film "Joker: Folie à Deux," where she stars with Joaquin Phoenix. Mars recently collaborated with Rosé on "Apt," which garnered over 100 million Spotify streams in its first week.
