Lady Gaga continues to redefine what it means to be a pop icon. Her duet with Bruno Mars, Die With a Smile, has officially claimed the #1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100, cementing Gaga as the third artist in history to achieve #1 hits in three decades. She now stands in the company of legendary siblings Michael and Janet Jackson.

The song, released in August, climbed to the top during its 20th week, after debuting at #3. This milestone builds on a career full of chart-toppers, starting with Gaga's breakout single Just Dance in 2008, followed by Poker Face in 2009. In the 2010s, she dominated again with hits like Born This Way (2011) and Shallow (2019), the latter from her Oscar-winning film A Star Is Born.

In the 2020s, Gaga's reign continued with Rain On Me featuring Ariana Grande. Now, Die With a Smile further solidifies her legacy, as fans eagerly await her seventh studio album, slated for early 2025. With every era, Gaga proves she's not just an artist but a force of nature in music history.
