Just one week after the 5-month-old release Die With A Smile finally creeps into this chart, Gaga's midweek single release becomes the first track to enter at #1 on release week since Kylie's Padam Padam. That song went on to spend 14 weeks at #1, as well as become my #1 song of 2023. Will Gags repeat history in my 2025 EOY chart? We'll find out in 47 weeks...

 

Meanwhile, Franz Ferdinand still maintain 8 of the 20 slots on the chart, with tracks from their album The Human Fear, while brat winter causes 4 tracks to still hold places on this week's rundown.

 

Hi Tim!

 

Nice to see "Alejandro" at the top and the big gain for "Die With A Smile" in the top 10.

 

Great chart!

Take care.
