“Dance Monkey” who? Fans lose it as Gaga & Bruno’s “Die With A Smile” break Spotify’s #1 record

The battle for Spotify's #1 rank has just gotten more fun, and this time it is almost like the 'Game of Thrones' show: musical edition. It all started when "Dance Monkey" by Tones and I, the song that refused to stop playing (much like that one song during exams in your head), had to step down from its chart-topping rank. When that happened, guess which song took its place?

Well, the Spotify #1 spot was taken over by Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga's new song named 'Die with a Smile.'. The sultry, groovy, jazzy collaboration had already taken the internet by storm. When it continued to rack up Spotify #1 rank, fans went into an unusual fandom frenzy.

This was a collab that nobody could have guessed on their bingo cards, and this is why the buzz around Gaga and Bruno's latest song caught plenty of online attention. When the collab was not here, any fan would have felt absolutely elated by the mere thought of it. When the collab hit the internet, it was not only a song release; it was a cultural reset.

Spotify, being one of the most widely tuned into platforms of streaming music, has fans definitely elated to see their favorite singers come up to rank 1st.

Two strands of reactions are palpable. But what unites them is humor. Let's check out the funny comments and have a dose of laughter:
