Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars’ ‘Die With a Smile’ Spends Second Week at No. 1 on Billboard Global Charts

Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ “Die With a Smile” scores a second week at No. 1 on both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts. Two weeks earlier, the duet debuted at the runner-up rank on each list.

Plus, Sabrina Carpenter claims three songs in the top 10 of both the Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. for a second week — all from her new album, Short n’ Sweet, which posts a second week at No. 1 on the U.S.-based Billboard 200.

The 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” tops the Global 200 with 105.8 million streams, up 9% week-over-week, and 10,000 sold (down 13%) worldwide Aug. 30-Sept. 5. The ballad, released Aug. 16, is Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ first No. 1 each since the chart began.

Sabrina Carpenter tallies three songs in the Global 200’s top five for a second week: “Taste” holds at No. 2, where it debuted a week earlier; “Espresso” dips 3-4, following three nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1 beginning in June; and “Please Please Please” descends 4-5, after two weeks at No. 1 also starting in June.

Amid Carpenter’s songs in the Global 200’s top five, Billie Eilish’s “Birds of a Feather” rebounds 5-3, following three weeks at No. 1 beginning in August.

“Die With a Smile” concurrently leads Global Excl. U.S. with 79.2 million streams, up 18%, and 5,000 sold (down 7%) outside the U.S. Aug. 30-Sept. 5. As on the Global 200, it became Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ first No. 1 each since the survey started.

Eilish’s “Birds of a Feather” keeps at No. 2 after three weeks atop Global Excl. U.S. beginning in August.

Carpenter’s “Espresso” holds at No. 3 on Global Excl. U.S., following eight nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1 beginning in May, while her “Taste” repeats at No. 4 in its second week on the chart and “Please Please Please” falls 5-6, following a week at No. 1 in June.

Also in the Global Excl. U.S. top 10, Karol G’s “Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido” pushes 6-5, after reaching No. 2.

Plus, Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control” lifts 12-10 on Global Excl. U.S. The song ranks in the top 10 for the first time in nearly four months. Still, it has placed in the top 20 each week since the first week of February; it peaked at No. 3 in March.
