Notably, the duet has drawn over 100 million streams globally in each of the last four weeks – the most such frames for a song this year; it one-ups Sabrina Carpenter’s “Please Please Please” (three weeks, June-July) and Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” (three, May-July).

Plus, “Die With a Smile” has gained in streams in each of its six Global 200 chart weeks, having started (at No. 2) with 75.2 million worldwide on the Aug. 31 survey and rising, respectively each week, to 97.2 million, 105.8 million, 111.4 million, 117.4 million and 117.8 million. It’s the first non-holiday song to link as many as four consecutive weeks of 100 million streams with gains in each week since The Kid LAROI and Justin Bieber’s “Stay” did so for four frames in August-September 2021.

“Die With a Smile” leads Global Excl. U.S. with 93.9 million streams (up 1%) and 5,000 sold (down 2%) outside the U.S. September 20-26.

As on the Global 200, the team-up became Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ first No. 1 each since the list launched.
