After joining an exclusive club of musicians that have number one hits in three decades with her and Bruno Mars' duet "Die with a Smile," Lady Gaga took to Instagram to thank her fans with a sweet video.

Pop music sensation Lady Gaga shared a humble message of gratitude after she hit a major milestone

The song “Die with a Smile” by Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars, which was released on August 16, 2024, just hit number on the Billboard Hot 100 on the week dated January 11, 2025.


The soft-rock collaboration marked Lady Gaga's sixth number-one single over a three-decade career span. It was also Mars' ninth number-one single on the chart.

On Tuesday, the "Born This Way" singer took to Instagram and wrote:

"Thank you for making me #1 again 🙏💘 couldn’t do it without your love I’m so grateful."


In the accompanying video post, the New York native said:

“I’m so incredibly grateful that my song ‘Die With A Smile’ with Bruno Mars, my friend, is number one on the Hot 100."
"I can’t believe that I’ve had two number ones in three different decades that I’ve been releasing my music in this professional way. I’ve been writing since the 90s."

She continued:

“I am so honored to be an artist and to have had your ears for this long."
"Thank you for listening and dancing and making your art along with mine. I’m so grateful. It’s 2025 and I have a number one song. It’s pretty wild."
“I’m so excited that this song is on my new album. I’m so excited for you to hear what more I have in store for you. I love you so much."

Gaga concluded by promising to continue spreading positivity in the new year, saying:

"I’m sending love, peace and absolute as much joy as possible to you in 2025. Thank you for making the beginning of mine so special.”

The singer previously announced the hit track will be included in her upcoming eighth studio album, which includes the lead single "Disease," and is expected to drop in February.

The success of "Die with a Smile" made Gaga join an elite list of music artists who've charted multiple Billboard Hot 100 #1 songs over three decades.

She became the second-ever female artist to do so following Janet Jackson, who reached number 1 in the '80s, '90s, and '10s, and the third overall behind Michael Jackson, who charted #1 songs in the '70s, ’80s, and ’90s.

Fans and entertainment industry colleagues congratulated her on the impressive achievement.

The celebratory news comes on the heels of unflattering reviews for the musical psychological thriller Joker: Folie à Deux, the sequel to 2019's Joker, in which she starred as Harleen "Lee" Quinzel opposite Joaquin Phoenix's titular character.

The American Horror Story and House of Gucci star is set to appear in the upcoming second season of Netflix's Wednesday.
