Bruno Mars is having an exceptional week on Billboard’s global charts, with both his latest single and past hits demonstrating impressive performance. The release of his new track, “Die with a Smile,” featuring Lady Gaga, has not only garnered significant attention but also sparked a resurgence in the popularity of Mars’ earlier music. Among his past hits, the Grammy-winning “That’s What I Like” has reached unprecedented heights, showcasing its enduring appeal.

Mars’ 2017 hit, “That’s What I Like,” which won the Grammy Award for Song of the Year, is experiencing a notable resurgence in global popularity. On the Billboard Global Excl. US chart, which ranks the most-consumed songs worldwide excluding American data, the track has made a remarkable leap. It has climbed from No. 184 to No. 99, marking its first appearance in the top 100. This ascent highlights the song’s ongoing relevance and the growing international interest in Mars’ music.

The Billboard Global 200, which reflects global streaming and sales data, also shows significant movement for “That’s What I Like.” The song has risen from No. 197 to No. 103, nearly breaking into the top 100. Although it has not yet reached this milestone, the song’s progress underscores its continued popularity and the strong global demand for Mars’ music. This upward trend reflects a broader appreciation of Mars’ work, extending beyond his new releases to his earlier successes.

In addition to its global performance, “That’s What I Like” is making waves in the United States. The track has reappeared on the Billboard R&B Streaming Songs list, where it currently holds the No. 14 spot. This resurgence is notable given that the song has previously topped the R&B Digital Song Sales chart, showcasing its enduring popularity. With a total of 60 weeks on the R&B Digital Song Sales chart, “That’s What I Like” continues to demonstrate its impact and relevance within the genre.

Mars is also achieving new career milestones with his latest single, “Die with a Smile.” This collaboration with Lady Gaga has debuted at No. 2 on both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. US charts. This debut is particularly significant for Gaga, marking her first top 10 appearance on these global lists. For Mars, this achievement represents a notable career highlight, as he had previously reached the top tier of the Billboard Global 200 but is now making his first appearance in the top 10 of the Billboard Global Excl. US chart. This dual-chart success underscores Mars’ continued prominence in the global music scene.

Overall, Bruno Mars’ achievements this week reflect a dynamic blend of past and present success. The resurgence of “That’s What I Like” and the impressive debut of “Die with a Smile” highlight Mars’ enduring appeal and his ability to captivate audiences with both new and classic hits.
