Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ “Die With a Smile” scores a third week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Plus, Bad Bunny banks three new top 10s.

But the reality is often subtler than that—career-wise, each superstar needed something from the other. Often, one act is a bit thirstier than the other. When you encounter one of these mega-duets, you should ask yourself, Who needed this more?

In celebration of Bruno Mars hitting No. 1 on the Hot 100 and Global 200, the singer wants to create a “strip club anthem” with Sexyy Red. Keep watching to see the two interact on social media! Tetris Kelly:Are Bruno Mars and Sexyy Red creating the next great strip-club anthem?

Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars live inside the top 10 on four U.K. charts with “Die with a Smile,” which returns to that highest tier on all but one of those rosters.

Bad Bunny, who had the most-streamed album of both 2022 and 2023, seems to have another potential juggernaut on his hands. But to top the chart this week he had to hold off an unlikely challenger.

Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars ’ “Die With a Smile” notches a second week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. A week earlier, the ballad about flashing pearly whites just before reaching the pearly gates became Gaga’s sixth Hot 100 leader and Mars’ ninth.

On Instagram, in response to the song enjoying another week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, Mars wrote, “THANK YOU ALL! I’m headed to the studio right now to make a strip club anthem so I can celebrate and properly act up this weekend. Someone please help me get in touch with Sexyy Red!!”

Bruno Mars recently announced his desire to create a “strip club anthem” in collaboration with rising Hip-Hop star Sexyy Red.

As his 'Die With A Smile' continues to top the charts, Bruno Mars has teased his next single will feature rapper Sexyy Red.

Lady Gaga will be honored with the innovator award at the 12th annual iHeartRadio Music Awards on March 17 at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. Mariah Carey is also set to be crowned icon of the year for her decades-long career as singer-songwriter and producer.

Bruno Mars teaming up with female Hip-Hop artists has resulted in smash collaborations in the past, as “Finesse (Remix),” his 2018 single with Cardi B, went multi-platinum and received various awards for its accompanying music video.
