Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars have done it again. Their collaboration, Die With A Smile, has officially broken records, spending a jaw-dropping 142 days at #1 on global Spotify. With 8.866 million streams in a single day, the track has secured its place as the longest-running chart-topper ever.
You’d think that such a historic achievement would be met with unanimous praise. But, in true internet fashion, fans have taken to social media to do what they do best: meme it into oblivion. Instead of a virtual standing ovation, the song’s record-breaking streak has sparked a hilarious mix of admiration, skepticism, and outright clownery.
Die With A Smile breaks records, but at what cost?
When Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars joined forces, the charts never stood a chance. The powerhouse duo brought their signature styles together, creating a song that, according to streaming numbers, has clearly struck a chord with listeners worldwide.
Yet, the reaction online tells a different story. The song's dominance on Spotify has become less of a celebratory moment and more of an ongoing inside joke. As the days rack up, so do the memes, with fans debating whether Die With A Smile is the greatest song of the decade or simply an inescapable force that refuses to leave the charts.
The moment the record was announced, Twitter (or X, but let’s be real, it’s still Twitter) erupted. Some fans hailed Gaga and Bruno as the ultimate hit-making duo, arguing that their talent alone justifies the song’s insane longevity. Others, however, weren’t convinced.
One of the funniest takes came from a fan who wrote,
'When Gaga and Bruno team up, charts don’t stand a chance.'
True, but also are the charts okay? Another user joked,
'And this is why people say the Grammies are bought, not won…'
implying that perhaps some external forces are at play in the song’s success.
And then there was the simplest, most savage reaction: 'Mid tbh.' Brutal. Concise. Possibly illegal in some states.
The memes don’t stop there. People have been making fake Spotify screenshots with Die With A Smile holding the #1 spot until 2045, suggesting the song might outlive all of us. Others have edited the Spotify Wrapped preview to show the song taking up every single top spot, as if listeners have no choice but to keep streaming it on a loop.
Even those who love the track have started poking fun at its never-ending reign. One post featured a still from The Walking Dead, captioned: 'Me checking the charts in 2099 and seeing Die With A Smile still at #1.' The way the internet refuses to let artists enjoy their wins without roasting them is truly an art form.
No matter what side of the debate you're on, one thing is clear: Die With A Smile has officially entered pop culture history. Whether it's the song of the century or just an inescapable earworm, it has made an impact that can’t be denied.

Gaga and Bruno might not have anticipated this level of unhinged reaction, but hey, at least people are talking about it. And let’s be honest: if your song is inspiring this many memes, you’ve probably won the internet.
Now, the real question is: will Die With A Smile ever leave the #1 spot, or are we all just living in its world?
Your perspective matters!
