Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars’ ‘Die With a Smile’ Dominates Both Billboard Global Charts

Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ “Die With a Smile” continues atop the Billboard Global 200 chart, adding a 12th week at No. 1. It also rebounds for an 11th week atop Billboard Global Excl. U.S. The ballad first led both lists last September.

Meanwhile, two tracks debut in the top 10 of each survey: JENNIE’s “Like JENNIE” and Doechii’s “Anxiety.”

As previously reported, Gaga’s MAYHEM launches at No. 1 on the U.S.-based Billboard 200 albums chart, becoming her seventh leading set, and JENNIE’s Ruby begins at No. 7.

The Billboard Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts, which began in September 2020, rank songs based on streaming and sales activity culled from more than 200 territories around the world, as compiled by Luminate. The Global 200 is inclusive of worldwide data and the Global Excl. U.S. chart comprises data from territories excluding the United States.

Chart ranks are based on a weighted formula incorporating official-only streams on both subscription and ad-supported tiers of audio and video music services, as well as download sales, the latter of which reflect purchases from full-service digital music retailers from around the world, with sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites excluded from the charts’ calculations.

“Die With a Smile” leads the Global 200 with 116.9 million streams (up 4%) and 9,000 sold (up 17%) worldwide March 7-13.

Nos. 2-4 on the Global 200 hold in place, with ROSÉ and Mars’ “APT.” at No. 2, after 12 weeks at No. 1 starting in November; Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s “Luther” at its No. 3 high; and Lamar’s “Not Like Us” at No. 4, following four weeks at No. 1 beginning last May.

JENNIE’s “like JENNIE” soars in at No. 5 on the Global 200 with 68.4 million streams and 6,000 sold worldwide. The BLACKPINK member adds her fourth solo top 10 on the chart; the group has likewise collected four top 10s, while fellow members LISA (three top 10s), ROSÉ (two) and Jisoo (one) have also hit the tier as soloists.

Also in the Global 200’s top 10, Doechii’s “Anxiety” bounds in at No. 6 with 56.9 million streams and 9,000 sold, becoming her first top 10. The history of the song – recorded in 2019 – is winding: When it was available only via YouTube, Sleepy Hallow co-opted its hook for the chorus of his own “A N X I E T Y”; billed to Sleepy Hallow featuring Doechii, it was released in 2023. The update experienced a TikTok-led revival in recent weeks, as users have soundtracked the “A N X I E T Y” chorus to a scene of Will Smith and Tatyana Ali dancing from an episode of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, the Smith-led sitcom that aired on NBC in 1990-96. “A N X I E T Y” falls 21-27 in its second week on the Global 200, led by 29.6 million streams worldwide (down 2%).

Meanwhile, the new attention for “A N X I E T Y” sent fans to Doechii’s solo, YouTube-only version, prompting the rapper/singer to release her original “Anxiety” wide to digital and streaming retailers on March 4. Her version debuts on the Global 200 following the first full tracking week (March 7-13) reflecting its wider release (and split consumption options with Sleepy Hallow’s take, which, as noted above, dips slightly in streams).

Additionally, “Anxiety” and “A N X I E T Y” prominently sample Gotye’s “Somebody That I Used To Know” (featuring Kimbra), the 2012 smash that topped the Billboard Hot 100 for eight weeks, was that year’s No. 1 Hot 100 song and went on to win two Grammy Awards, including record of the year. That hit vaults 191-130 on the Global 200, up 20% to 16.5 million streams and 27% to 1,000 sold worldwide in the tracking week.

On Global Excl. U.S., “Die With a Smile” rises 2-1 with 92.3 million streams (up 2%) and 4,000 sold (up 17%) outside the U.S. March 7-13.

“APT.” descends to No. 2 after a record 17 weeks atop Global Excl. U.S. beginning in November.

JENNIE’s “like JENNIE” enters Global Excl. U.S. at No. 3 with 61.5 million streams and 4,000 sold outside the U.S. She achieves her fifth solo top 10 on the chart – surpassing the four top 10s that BLACKPINK and the group’s LISA as a soloist have each notched; ROSÉ boasts two solo top 10s and Jisoo, one.

Billie Eilish’s “Birds of a Feather” holds at No. 4 on Global Excl. U.S., after three weeks on top last August, and Gaga’s “Abracadabra” magically reappears in the top five (8-5), after reaching No. 4.

Plus, Doechii’s “Anxiety” debuts as her first Global Excl. U.S. top 10 at No. 7, with 36.9 million streams and 4,000 sold outside the U.S.
