Why Bruno Mars & Lady Gaga Are a Pop Duo to ‘Die’ For on Bombastic New Collab

Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga have been independently ruling pop radio for the past almost 15 years, and last week, they finally came together for their first collab: the bombastic pop/rock duet “Die With a Smile.”

On the new Billboard Pop Shop Podcast, Katie & Keith are talking about why they make such a potent pop duo. Plus, we’re also chatting about F-1 Trillion, Post Malone’s first country album and why it’s such a seamless fit in the genre.

Also on the show, we’ve got chart news how Taylor Swift meets Carole King in the chart history books as The Tortured Poets Department spends a 15th week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, how Chappell Roan’s The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess climbs to No. 2 on the Billboard 200 for the first time, and how Billie Eilish’s “Birds of a Feather” steps into the top five on the Billboard Hot 100.
