Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars Bring Back the Classic Pop Duet

Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars joined forces for Die With A Smile, a dramatic pop ballad released in 2024. The collaboration draws inspiration from classic 1970s soft rock and soul, combining powerful vocals, warm guitar arrangements and an emotional chorus.

The song became one of the world's biggest recordings, ranking fourth on IFPI's 2025 Global Singles Chart. Its success showed that a traditional vocal duet, built around melody and chemistry rather than elaborate electronic production, could still dominate modern pop music.

Questions about the South Africa charts

How often do the South Africa charts update?

Every day. Apple recalculates each storefront overnight and this page follows within a few hours, so what you see is today's order rather than last week's.

Where does the South Africa chart data come from?

Directly from Apple's own published feeds for the South Africa storefront. We reproduce the order exactly as Apple gives it and never reorder, promote or remove entries.

What do the charts measure?

Plays and purchases on Apple Music, the iTunes Store and Apple's other stores in South Africa. Apple decides the exact methodology and can change it without notice.

How many charts are there for South Africa?

11 main charts across 6 categories โ€” music, music videos, ios apps, books, podcasts, movies โ€” plus 353 genre and category charts beneath them.

Why does South Africa have different charts to other countries?

Apple publishes a separate set for every storefront, and not every storefront carries every category. What appears here is what Apple actually publishes for South Africa, which is why the list differs from country to country.

Is it free to use?

Yes. There is no account, no subscription and no paywall. The site is funded by advertising and by affiliate commission on links to Apple, which never affects the chart order.
