Rosé's Biggest Single Returns To An Important Region Months Into Its Life
By the time most pop songs hit 40 weeks on any chart, they're lucky to even still be present. Pop music is known for its quick turnover rate, and while a very lucky few smashes can remain in the public's mind for months, if not years, that kind of success is incredibly rare.
Bruno Mars and Rosé scored a surprisingly sturdy smash with 'Apt.,' which didn't just earn a lofty debut or reach impressive positions on the charts, it's managed to stick around for dozens of weeks. The collaboration isn't just holding on — it's actually managing to rise across nearly every tally it appears on in the United Kingdom, which is uncommon for a tune that's been present since last year.
'Apt.' Appears on Five Charts Simultaneously
This week in the U.K., 'Apt.' lives on five different charts. It's a win when it comes to streaming platforms and pure purchases, and when combined, general consumption.
This frame, the tune lifts on four rosters and even returns to the Official Physical Singles chart. Physical copies of 'Apt.' are still selling incredibly well, as the tune reappears at No. 38, becoming a top 40 smash again.
Sales and Streaming Wins
Amazingly, 'Apt.' is a top 40 hit on the other four charts where it's still found as well. The cut sits highest on the Official Streaming ranking, coming in at No. 16. It also lands at No. 24 on both the Official Singles Sales and Official Singles Downloads rosters.
'Apt.' returns to the top 40 region – which usually defines when a charting cut becomes a real smash – on the main list of the biggest songs in the U.K., coincidentally in its fortieth week on the list. The multilingual track steps up from No. 43 to No. 40, narrowly managing to find space within that tier.
A Former No. 1 That's Still Rising
In the past, 'Apt.' has hit No. 1 on almost every chart where it's now climbing. The Korean-English duet only missed the peak position on the Official Singles chart, where it almost became a historic leader. Instead, it topped out in second place.

‘Die With A Smile' Rewrites Records For Bruno Mars And Lady Gaga
Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga continue to live inside the top 10 on the Hot 100 with 'Die With a Smile,' which is not just a hit, but one of the sturdiest pop smashes in recent memory. The tune is nearing its first year on Billboard's most competitive songs tally, and with each frame the collaboration holds on, it establishes important new positions within the discographies of the two stars who took the track into the stratosphere. This week, 'Die With a Smile' becomes a historic win yet again for both Gaga and Mars, though in different ways. 'Die With a Smile' Beats 'Just the Way You Are' With 49 weeks on the Hot 100 already to its name, 'Die With a Smile' breaks out of a tie with another track in Mars's discography and stands alone as his third-longest-charting hit ever. Last frame, the Grammy-winning duet was matched with 'Just the Way You Are,' the cut that introduced Mars to the general public and became a multiweek No. 1 on the all-encompassing ranking. 'Die With a Smile' Will Soon Tie 'That's What I Like' In a few weeks, 'Die With a Smile' will likely tie 'That's What I Like,' which spent 52 weeks — a complete year — on the Hot 100. Mars's longest-running success on the list remains 'Uptown Funk,' his collaboration with Mark Ronson. That track spent 56 weeks somewhere on the tally before slipping away. Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars Could Chart For Months It's highly unlikely that 'Die With a Smile' will vanish from the Hot 100 in the next few weeks, as it's rare for a track that's been around for months and which is still a top 10 hit to suffer such a steep decline in popularity. Even if it descends outside the most important region on the ranking, 'Die With a Smile' will likely take its time dipping south of the top 20 — and it could be months before Gaga and Mars see their duet finally finish its time on the list. 'Die With a Smile' Vs. "Just Dance" As 'Die With a Smile' stands alone as Mars's third-longest-running Hot 100 hit, the track becomes Gaga's tune with the most weeks on the list to its credit. 'Die With a Smile' breaks its tie with 'Just Dance,' Gaga's introductory smash that also credits Colby O'Donis. That electronic dance-pop tune spent 48 frames on the Hot 100, and now it settles into the runner-up spot in her catalog.

Lady Gaga's Biggest Singles Match One Another — For Now
Lady Gaga first rose to fame by reintroducing millions of Americans to electronic dance-pop with her breakout hit "Just Dance." The tune, which arrived in mid-2008, has stood as her longest-charting single ever since then — until now. This week, the song that started it all is finally matched by one of Gaga's most recent releases, which couldn't sound less like her introductory hit – and yet, the two have now spent the same amount of time on the Hot 100. 49 Weeks on the Hot 100 "Die With a Smile," Gaga's collaboration with Bruno Mars, reaches 49 weeks on the Hot 100. As it hits that milestone, "Die With a Smile" ties "Just Dance" for the honor of being Gaga's longest-running success on the most important songs tally in America. "Die With a Smile" Vs. 'Just Dance' Once again, "Die With a Smile" holds at No. 10 on the Hot 100. The fact that it remains within the chart's highest tier after 49 weeks — at which point "Just Dance" was about to disappear — speaks volumes about the popularity of "Die With a Smile" and how rankings are now compiled differently these days. "Die With a Smile" Will Likely Win in a Few Days It seems inevitable that "Die With a Smile" will pass "Just Dance" in just a few days, and there's no telling how much longer it might remain on the list. The track appears to be a surefire bet to become Gaga's first to hit a full year on the competitive ranking, and it could continue to find space on the Hot 100 for months. "Die With a Smile" Beats 'Just the Way You Are' For Mars, "Die With a Smile" breaks out of a tie with his own breakout hit "Just the Way You Are" to become his third-longest-charting Hot 100 smash. "Uptown Funk" with Mark Ronson remains his greatest success, as it spent 56 weeks on the tally, 14 of which were at No. 1. "That's What I Like," which topped the ranking once in May 2017, slipped off after exactly a year. "Die With a Smile" is all but certain to match "That's What I Like" within a month. Whether it can catch up to "Uptown Funk," however, remains to be seen.
