Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars‘ ballad “Die With a Smile” tops Billboard‘s year-end 2025 Hot 100 Songs chart.
In the chart’s 67-year history, “Die With a Smile” marks the first annual Hot 100 Songs No. 1 duet by a female and male soloist each in lead roles.
“Die With a Smile” also crowns two of the three year-end charts reflecting the three metrics — streaming, radio airplay and sales — that contribute to the Hot 100, as it wraps at No. 1 on Streaming Songs and Radio Songs. Alex Warren‘s “Ordinary” tops the year’s Digital Song Sales roundup.
“Die With a Smile,” co-written and co-produced by Gaga and Mars, topped the Hot 100 for five weeks beginning January. The song spent 51 weeks in the Top 10 and 60 frames on the survey overall – the most for a co-billed duet between a female and male artist in the chart’s history.
The song earned Gaga her sixth No. 1 on the Hot 100 and Mars his ninth topper on the list.
