potential indication suggests Lady Gaga could secure her initial top radio position in approximately fifteen years.
Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars might dominate the Hot 100 in a few days when Billboard updates their weekly charts. Their collaborative track "Die With A Grin" is predicted to ascend the rankings of the most-played songs in the U.S., as all those Christmas tunes eventually vanish. The track is receiving heavy support from radio DJs nationwide, which could potentially propel it to the top, possibly in another chart.
"Die With A Grin" may soon become the most popular tune on American radio waves. This week, the single soars to No. 2 on Billboard's Radio Songs chart, leaving minimal distance until it takes the lead.
Currently, No. 2 marks a new peak for "Die With A Grin" on the Radio Songs chart. The hit single jumps from the No. 4 position, narrowly missing out on the top spot currently occupied by Shaboozey's "A Bar Song (Tipsy)" after 19 weeks on the list.
"Die With A Grin" has already garnered popularity on radio, but it hasn't yet claimed the No. 1 spot on the Radio Songs chart. In fact, Gaga and Mars have already managed to secure the No. 1 position on both the Pop Airplay and Adult Pop Airplay lists, focusing solely on pop music.
The single currently sits inside the top 5 on both of these adult-oriented charts, and at No. 6 on the final pop radio ranking administered by Billboard, the Adult Contemporary list. "Die With A Grin" has yet to reach No. 1 on that chart, although it has managed to peak at No. 5.
The track also ascends to a new height on another radio ranking, the Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart, albeit still miles away from claiming the top spot (for now). This week, "Die With A Grin" reaches No. 20, climbing four spots to its highest position on this genre-specific chart.
If "Die With A Grin" manages to claim the No. 1 spot on the Radio Songs chart, it will earn Lady Gaga her third career No. 1 hit—a relatively modest achievement for her stature as a pop star. She last topped the chart in 2011 with "Born This Way," following her debut No. 1 single "Paparazzi" from the The Fame album.
Meanwhile, Bruno Mars boasts a more impressive resume on the Radio Songs chart, having amassed a total of nine No. 1 hits to date. Mars, who currently shares the top 10 with Blackpink singer Rose on "Apt.," is striving for his tenth number-one hit on the radio charts.
Lady Gaga is currently just one step away from securing another No. 1 hit on the Radio Songs chart with "Die With A Grin," as the single sits at No. 2.
