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

Nancy Mace's Claim That No One Would Know Simone Biles' Name If Men Competed Against Her Gets Epically Fact-Checked

South Carolina MAGA Republican Representative Nancy Mace has been making a name for herself by being the most vulgar and vile anti-trans person in Congress. She's screamed transphobic slurs in official committee meetings and attacked anyone who opposes her bigotry.

Now she's decided to take on the most decorated gymnast in history—in women's and men's gymnastics—Simone Biles, who holds the record for the most Olympic and World Championship medals combined. Biles won 41 medals in just those events, surpassing all other gymnasts.

Vance Tried To Make A Joke About Seeing 'Les Misérables' At The Kennedy Center—And It's Peak Cringe

Vice President JD Vance had people groaning after he made a bad joke about the production of Les Misérables he and his wife, Second Lady Usha Vance, attended at the Kennedy Center with President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump.

The musical, set in 19th century France, tells the story of Jean Valjean, an ex-convict who is released from prison for stealing a loaf of bread. The story touches on timeless themes such as justice and mercy—and also happens to be about people resisting an authoritarian takeover, which many find ironic given the Trump administration's response to protests in Los Angeles.

People Who Smashed Wedding Cake In Their Spouse's Face Reveal How Their Relationship Is Going Now

According to The Knot wedding resource magazine and website, smashing cake into the face of a spouse after tying the knot is a tradition tied to medieval England. To celebrate the marriage, the bride would toss a piece of piece of cake over her shoulder for good luck.

This evolved into newlyweds feeding a piece of cake to one another, then taking frosting or a small bit of cake and rubbing it gently onto each other's faces—usually the cheek or tip of the nose.

A U.S. Army veteran went viral after she spoke out to encourage other current and former military members to publicly condemn President Donald Trump for using them as "pawns" to suit his own ends after he deployed the National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles amid ongoing protests against his administration's immigration raids.

Trump has activated over 4,000 National Guard members and 700 Marines, despite opposition from city and state leaders. He has painted a bleak picture of Los Angeles—claims that Mayor Karen Bass and Governor Gavin Newsom say are wildly exaggerated.
