Lady Gaga Blocked From An All-Time Record By Music's Hottest Newcomer
It looked for a while like the cut might have been on its way to making history and breaking an all-time record, but its impressive winning streak has finally come to an end—at least for now.
"Die With a Smile" earned 17 stays atop the Billboard Global Excl. U.S., including the past six frames in a row. This week, it slips to No. 2, making way for a newcomer who has just scored the biggest hit around the world. "Ordinary" by Alex Warren steps up to the summit on this ranking for the first time.
The track reached No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200 several weeks ago but had been kept from the top spot on the list that excludes all streaming and sales activity from America… until now. The two tunes swap spaces, and Gaga and Mars may not be able to recover.
"Die With a Smile" ranks as the track with the second-most weeks at No. 1 in the history of the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. It is just two frames away from tying the all-time record — which Mars also claims with another musician. His duet with Blackpink singer Rosé, "Apt.," collected a total of 19 stays in the penthouse and was in direct competition with "Die With a Smile" for a long stretch of that time.
While it's possible that "Die With a Smile" could return to the top, "Ordinary" has some real momentum behind it. Global audiences appear to still be waking up to the track, and it could lead for quite some time.
That said, the throwback-sounding duet likely won't disappear anytime soon. In fact, it could remain inside the top 10 for several more months, as it has already been living in that region since last fall.
This is not the first time that "Die With a Smile" has been dethroned on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. The tune first reached No. 1 in early September 2024. It reigned for two months before "Apt." replaced it. Throughout 2025, those two tracks have traded positions multiple times.

The show had 42,000 fans attend, with more than five million more streaming the epic event via VOD. Billboard reported the Back to the Beginning show was the highest-grossing charity concert of all time, donating roughly $190 million to a variety of charities, including Birmingham Children's Hospital, Acorn Children's Hospice and Cure Parkinson's. On stage, Osbourne was noticably sitting down during the whole performance. How did Ozzy Osbourne die? There has been no cause of death listed for Ozzy Osbourne at the time of writing this article. Ozzy Osbourne was open about his Parkinson's disease diagnosis. He announced his diagnosis in an appearance on Good Morning America in 2020, having been diagnosed in 2003. According to Mayo Clinic, Parkinson's disease is a movement disorder of the nervous system that worsens over time. The nervous system is a network of nerve cells that controls many parts of the body, including movement. 'It does affect certain nerves in your body, and it's like you have a good day, a good day and then a really bad day,' Sharon said of the disease. I Am Ozzy by Ozzy Osbourne On Sale 13% off $23.28 Buy Now On Amazon The singer also suffered injuries from a 2019 fall that exacerbated an earlier spinal injury that was caused by a 2003 ATV accident. He had multiple surgeries including one to realign his back. 'I'm going for an epidural soon because what they've discovered is the neck has been fixed,' he said on The Osbourne Podcast. '[but] below the neck there's two vertebrae where the bike hit me and disintegrated, there's nothing left of 'em.' He also explained that the injury had affected his posture. 'In my back, the two discs and the muscles on my shoulders have separated from my skeleton, and that's why I lean forward as it's like gravity is bringing my head forward. I was thinking when [the doctor] was saying it, 'I've walked like that all my life.'' Just weeks before his death, his daughter Kelly Osbourne dispelled rumors that her father was dying due to Parkinson's disease. 'There's this video going around on social media, and it's supposed to be my dad, but it's AI,' Kelly said on her Instagram Stories July 11. 'It has a voice like my dad's David Attenborough or something. And it starts out saying, 'I don't need a doctor to tell me that I'm going to die. I know I'm going to die.'' 'What the f—k is wrong with you people?' she continued. 'Why would you spend your time making a video like this? Yes, he has Parkinson's, and yes, his mobility is completely different than it used to be, but he's not dying. What is wrong with you?' Sharon explained to The Mirror in a 2007 interview about the plan. 'Ozzy and I have absolutely come to the same decision. We believe 100 percent in euthanasia so have drawn up plans to go to the assisted suicide flat in Switzerland if we ever have an illness that affects our brains. If Ozzy or I ever got Alzheimer's, that's it – we'd be off,' 'We gathered the kids around the kitchen table, told them our wishes and they've all agreed to go with it.' She continued, 'Some say the disease is hereditary so at the first sign, I want to be put out of my misery. Ozzy and I have asked our lawyers to make the appropriate arrangements. It's taken away some of the fear of our ending and is a final gift of love to our kids.' In a May 2025 intervew with The Guardian, the famed singer talked about his retirement plans with Sharon. 'Get some ponies and chickens, and a million dogs. I want to open a dog rescue centre and a horse rescue centre. Scream at the neighbours a couple of times. There you go.' He also contemplated what to do for the remaining part of his life and the future of Black Sabbath. 'I'd love to say 'never say never', but after the last six years or so … it is time. I lived on the road for 50-odd years, and I've kind of got used to not picking up my bags and getting on the bus again,' he told the publication I don't smoke dope or do any of the rock star lifestyle any more. I'm kind of like a homebody. I never go out. I never hang out in bars – I don't drink. So what the fuck is out there for me? I hate going shopping with my wife. I feel like stabbing myself in the neck after half an hour. But it's time for me to spend some time with my grandkids, I don't want to die in a hotel room somewhere. I want to spend the rest of my life with my family.'

A $17 Hotdog and a Humanoid Robot Serving Popcorn: WIRED's Day at the Tesla Diner
Jul 23, 2025 5:00 PM WIRED stopped by the new Tesla Diner in Hollywood to try a $17 hotdog, watch a humanoid serve popcorn, and talk to people who still stan Elon Musk. Renuka Veerasingam believes Elon Musk is humanity's last hope. 'I want to go to Mars, and he is going to take us,' she says. 'Space is the final frontier. It's in our DNA to find the final frontier—to keep going until we get to the edge.' Though Veerasingam is lightyears from Mars, she is currently on the edge of Santa Monica Boulevard and North Orange Drive, in the heart of Hollywood, for the opening of the new Tesla Diner, modeled in the likeness of the same kind of retro-futuristic space station she one day dreams of inhabiting on the red planet. An actress who lives in Toluca Lace, Veerasingam wanted to see Musk's latest window into the future up close. Every one of the 200-plus people assembled have their reason for coming, many seemingly curious to find out what the seemingly Midas touch of Musk has to offer on a Tuesday afternoon in July. Musk first announced his plans for the diner in 2018 on Twitter—before he bought the company and rebranded it as X—saying that he wanted to 'put an old school drive-in, roller skates & rock restaurant at one of the new Tesla Supercharger locations in LA.' So far this is the only location, but he has plans to expand to other cities if it's successful. PHOTOGRAPH: ETHAN NOAH ROY PHOTOGRAPH: ETHAN NOAH ROY That vision came to life at exactly 4:20 pm Monday, a cherished stoner reference of Musk's and one that probably peaked when he was still in college. WIRED's photographer, Ethan Noah Roy, was there when the doors opened, meeting a man who had dedicated the last 13 years of his life to work at Tesla with the sole purpose of meeting Musk. 'That has yet to happen,' he said. I arrive in the middle of the lunch rush, around 1 pm the following day, with some 80 other people waiting to get in. In the parking lot, there are 80 v4 Supercharger stalls— 'the largest urban Supercharger in the world,' according to Tesla—and two 45-foot movie screens that showed a selection of movies, TV clips, and Tesla ads. Episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation play as servers on rollerskates hand out free ice cream to people waiting in line. For now, parking only accommodates Teslas and other EVs. Customers with gas-powered cars were instructed by security to park on the street. After 30 minutes of light conversation—'He makes himself hard to like,' one young woman, who asks not to be identified, says of Musk—I make it inside. PHOTOGRAPH: ETHAN NOAH ROY Despite being advised to get the burger and apple pie, I opt for a hotdog, fries, a salad, and the creamsicle instead, totaling $40.61—and am directed to the pick-up counter, where even more people are waiting for their number to be called. The aesthetic inside the diner is 'very modern, very Jetsons,' says local Joseph Macken, referring to the 1962 cartoon about a family living in a futuristic utopia with flying cars and a robot maid. (Veerasingam loves the bathrooms 'because it's really like you are in a capsule,' on a spaceship, 'looking at earth looking down at you.') But much of it is very typical of an American diner: curved white booths and a long countertop that peers into the behind the countertop, chef Eric Greenspan woofs orders to staff, calling out numbers and making sure everything runs as smoothly as possible. If you've ever watched an episode of The Bear you know the clattering from the belly of the kitchen well. There's a brute choreography to everything happening—loud, constant, unblinking. Michael Jackson's 'Beat It' blares from the speakers. Everyone has their phones out recording, snapping photos, set on capturing a moment and finding meaning in it. Greenspan notices a look of irritation on a customer's face. 'I appreciate your patience. There are TV screens outside—or is this enough of a show for you?' he says. 'Enjoy it for the spectacle that it is. By next week it'll be a regular restaurant.' PHOTOGRAPH: ETHAN NOAH ROY PHOTOGRAPH: ETHAN NOAH ROY Greenspan is something of a local legend in LA, famed for his tenure at The Foundry on Melrose and, depending on what side of town you're on, is known for making the best grilled cheese in the city. He also helped open Mr. Beast Burger—yes, that Mr. Beast—where he put a unique spin on American comfort food. That's exactly what you'll find at the Tesla diner. The fare is red, white, and blue to the core, with a few twists: tuna melts, club sandwiches, biscuits and gravy, chicken tenders, all-day breakfast, Wagyu beef chili, and—of course, because it's a Greenspan operation after all—grilled cheese on Tartine buttermilk bread. Fusing the nostalgia of a McDonald's Happy Meal with the gloss of Tesla branding, food is served in Cybertruck boxes with Cybertruck-shaped wooden forks. Every part of the experience is a reminder of—and an opportunity to sell—the Tesla ethos. 'I think this might be the new spot,' says Xavier Hardy, a realtor and DJ, who orders the chicken and waffles, and raves about the black pepper mayo sauce it came with. 'I saw that the diner is 24 hours. I feel everyone is going to come here after events, clubs. All the celebs will probably be here. I'm surprised no other car companies have thought of this before. And the food isn't too expensive either.' I mention to Hardy that the hot dog—which has a rubbery texture and taste—costs $17 dollars. 'For some people, that's nothing though,' he says. Terence Sampson, a therapist from Long Beach, tagged along with Hardy for the day. 'I don't have a Tesla but I want a Cybertruck,' he says. 'They're super futuristic but also simple. They're sleek. Energy efficient. They are the iPhones of cars.' I ask what they think of Musk. 'I don't like him,' Sampson says. 'He's a great business man and innovative, but I work for the government, so when he was with Trump and all of that stuff—nah. I like this Elon, not the one that was sending emails to our job. Not him.' Sampson tells me he works for the Department of Veteran Affairs. In January, newly appointed to the Trump administration, Musk sent an email to federal employees asking them 'to resign by February 6 if they do not wish to return to the office five days a week and commit to a culture of excellence,' WIRED reported. The following month, another investigation by WIRED found that federal government workers were told to email the Office of Personnel Management with 'approx. 5 bullets of what you accomplished last week' or they would be terminated.

The futuristic Tesla Diner and supercharger station boasting a drive-in experience for drivers opened in Hollywood this Monday. (Photo by I RYU/VCG via Getty Images) PHOTOGRAPH: GETTY IMAGES Many of the people I speak with agree that Musk's personal politics are questionable but that his business acumen as an innovator can not be questioned. Ralph N., a software engineer traveling through LA with his sons for a water polo tournament stopped at the diner to charge his Tesla before driving back to San Francisco. 'I was a fan of his until about two years ago, when he went crazy. I am kind of on the fence now.' He's owns the Model 3 since it first came out seven years ago, and later bought a second Tesla, the Model Y. 'I am a fan of the stuff that he makes. He used to be a cool engineer to follow, but he got political the last couple of years and alienated a bunch of people. I'm not super happy about that.' On the second floor is the 'Skypad,' a deck that wraps around the entire building. There's table seating, hillside views of Los Angeles, and a bar, where employees sell Tesla merch. A giddy crowd gathers around the popcorn machine, where a humanoid robot—eerily reminiscent of the ones in the movie I, Robot —waves to onlookers and serves popcorn. 'Elon definitely snapped,' Jamel Bullock says, conveying a compliment of high praise, a cultural colloquialism. A Silverlake-based design creative who works in fashion and tech, Bullock bought a Model 3 only a couple of months ago, but considers it 'the best car of all time .' Overall, he says the diner experience is what LA needs and will make for a great date spot. 'Now, if it stays this loud, it might suck for them,' he says, pointing to the apartment complex across the street, where people gawk at the spectacle from their balconies. 'Regardless of how you feel about it, though, it's just cool overall.' Umut, who came with a friend and asked that his last name not be printed for privacy concerns, heard about the opening on X Tuesday morning. He bought a Model Y a year ago and says he has endured some backlash for it since Musk's public favor has waned. 'I see a lot of people with those stickers saying I used to drive this before Elon went crazy. I'm not like that. I have my own opinion but I don't think it's right to do that. It does feel a little weird to be honest. My friends make jokes about it sometimes—'Oh, you're driving a Tesla.' It's a car at the end of the day. It serves me well.' PHOTOGRAPH: ETHAN NOAH ROY PHOTOGRAPH: ETHAN NOAH ROY What's to love about the Tesla diner? Outside of the offering of superchargers, there doesn't seem much replay value. Many people complain of long wait times—my own food takes 40 minutes to arrive—and though it's good, it isn't anything you can't get at other diners, like Mel's or Clark Street, across the city. The sun finally comes out as Veerasingam waits for her food on the deck. 'This is a MAGA diner. Why do I say that—literally you have a menu telling you how everything is made,' she says, and I don't know exactly what she means. 'I didn't even know cheese is not real. Did you see that?' On the menu, Greenspan has detailed many of the ingredients he uses, most of them sourced from local farmers and brands, including Brandt beef ('from the Holstein cows of Brandt Cattle of Calipatria, CA'), flour tortillas ('made with heritage organic drought resistant wheat'), Bakers Bacon ('heritage bred pork and natural apple wood smoke'), and a kind of cheese called New School American ('made from aged cheddar, real cream and real butter without phosphates, starches, acids or fillers'). PHOTOGRAPH: ETHAN NOAH ROY Since the late 80s, Veerasingam suggests, too many artificial preservatives have been added to food. 'It's all fake,' she says. Returning to her earlier point, about the limitations of being on earth, she says there's more out there. 'If you're exploring the unknown, it's not about what anybody else has. Nobody knows. It's a different kind of competition. It's not about money. Money cannot get you to Mars. It's beyond money' But won't you need money to get there, I ask 'Yes, but it's not going to be the be all and end all,' she says. 'Why do we need approval to go to Mars? Cut the shit, all the regulation shit. We don't want politics but politics has unfortunately come to us,' she says. 'Normal people, we just want to get on with our lives.' Before we depart, I ask her what she thinks is at the edge, what she hopes to find at the final frontier? 'Nothing,' she says. 'It's like a cycle. We will start at the beginning. It's like the snake that eats itself. And that's the meaning of life. But first we have to go.'

Ed Sheeran Announces 2026 Australian & New Zealand Loop Tour Dates
Ed Sheeran might still be in the midst of his current run of tour dates, but the English musician is already making big plans for 2026, starting with return visits to Australia and New Zealand. Sheeran announced a new run of tour dates on Tuesday (July 22), with the eleven-show visit to Oceania set to take place from January to March 2026. 'Starting a brand new tour next year called the LOOP tour,' Sheeran wrote on Instagram. 'New stage, new tricks, new set up, new songs and all the classics added in.' More from Billboard Shakira & The Weeknd to Headline 2025 Global Citizen Festival in Central Park The Who Kick Off Farewell Tour in Italy, Perform First Show Since Zak Starkey Sacking Tool Announce First Hawaii Concert in Nearly 15 Years The tour will see the musician performing at stadiums across the New Zealand cities of Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch. Sheeran will then head west for Australian stadium dates in Perth, Sydney, Brisbane, and Melbourne, before wrapping up with a show at South Australia's Adelaide Oval. The tour comes just shy of two months before the release of Sheeran's eighth album, Play, which is scheduled to arrive on Sept. 12. That release date occurs just days after Sheeran wraps up his current +–=÷× Tour (also dubbed the Mathematics Tour), which closes with three dates in Düsseldorf, Germany – almost three-and-a-half years after he first began the trek. Sheeran's Australian and New Zealand return will mark his first visit to the countries since February and March 2023. That tour also saw Sheeran break attendance records at the Melbourne Cricket Ground where, across two performances, he played to 217,500 fans. The two shows each broke the previous attendance record set by Sheeran collaborator Eminem, who played to 80,708 fans at the venue in 2019. News of the upcoming run of tour dates has been expected for some time, with Sheeran taking to his private Teddy's Vinyl Breakfast Instagram account in May to respond to fans asking about his 2026 plans. 'Oz/NZ top of next year, then Latam, then USA,' Sheeran responded at the time.
