Lady Gaga Manages A Rare Radio Feat Thanks To Two Hugely Popular Singles
Lady Gaga is one of the defining figures at American pop radio and has held that status for well over a decade. With dozens of memorable singles under her belt, a look at her most successful tracks shows that she's been rather daring in her sonic choices.
At the moment, the Emmy, Grammy and Oscar winner's current radio hits couldn't sound less like one another – another sign of that willingness to experiment. And yet, not only do the two tracks fit together on the same album, they also help her accomplish a somewhat uncommon feat on one specific tally.
This week, Lady Gaga bookends the top 10 on the Adult Pop Airplay chart. She appears at Nos. 1 and 10 with two different tracks, both lifted from her latest album Mayhem. Interestingly, Gaga didn't occupy either of those positions just a few days ago. She only manages this showing thanks to the coordinated and precise movements of a pair of popular cuts.
Perhaps most excitingly, Gaga earns a new top 10 hit on the Adult Pop Airplay ranking this frame. "Abracadabra," the latest single from Mayhem, steps up one spot from No. 11 to No. 10, reaching a new peak in the process. It does so in its fifteenth week on the list, which ranks the most successful tunes across U.S. radio stations that focus on a version of pop commonly referred to as adult pop, as it appeals to an older crowd. "Abracadabra" becomes her lucky thirteenth top 10 on the Adult Pop Airplay chart as it pushes forward.
As "Abracadabra" breaks into the top 10 for the first time, Gaga also surges back to No. 1 — and she's not alone. "Die With a Smile," her collaboration with Bruno Mars, climbs one rung and reclaims the top spot. It replaces "Messy" by rising talent Lola Young, which slides to second place.
Gaga and Mars have now led the Adult Pop Airplay chart for 10 nonconsecutive weeks with "Die With a Smile." That stretch represents exactly one-quarter of the 40 frames the track has spent somewhere on the tally. With its latest ascent, it becomes the first 10-week ruler for both musicians.
