I should be peeved at this since ‘Bad Romance’ is my #1 song of all time, but that put aside it is a remarkable feet! ‘Die With a Smile’ is Gaga’s biggest hit song now (clearly), but I find it awkward to include it amongst her list of signature hits (which for me remains to be ‘Poker Face’, ‘Bad Romance’ and ‘Shallow’).

Still a moderate hit smash!!

That climb!!

The rendition is absolutely stunning and breathtaking. What a twist she’s put to the song, to make it even more emotional!

She’s the queen of Halloween!!! (When does the Halloween effect start to slowly kick in?? I would presume the start of October??)

I went a bit “ehhh??” when I saw Mayhem at the Dance Electronic category rather than pop, although competition from there is fewer so it’s a stronger chance it’ll walk away with that better.

So let’s kick some discussion going, with the below rumoured submissions for Gaga at the 2026 Grammys (this is the same account who leaked MTV’s VMA’s ‘Die With A Smile’ main category submission and ‘Abracadabra’ at the professional categories, so a strong chance it’s legitimate.

I saw the clip and….dont get why it’s exploding the way it is now (I’m not complaining tho!!!)

‘The Dead Dance’ making good progress on the radio!! It’s a shame they didn’t eat ‘Abracadabra’ up the way they are with this.

THE MONSTER SMASH THIS IS!!!! (Sorta wished it crept back into the Top 10 to extend the record)

There’s a viral clip of it circulating on Tik Tok, explaining the mass resurgence.

Still holding there, which is good!! When do the Grammy nominees get announced?

There seems to be rumours that there will be a video released for this song in the foreseeable future, although not certain how truthful it is.

Vanity Italy reported this too, so I think it’s looking more and more likely to be true!

I haven’t got tickets and now the resale ones are going for nearly double than what the resale tickets were originally after a few days of being on sale… Looks like I’ll be hoping she does a stadium tour, I’m desperately wanting to see her especially with ‘Mayhem’ now being my most favourite album of all time.

I hope Gaga’s one proves to be a different scenario, as I have grown to absolutely love ‘The Dead Dance’ despite going “ehhh…?” on my initial listen. With Halloween around the corner, it could be another shot for the song to shoot up the charts slightly (shame the Halloween effect is minimal compared to say, Christmas, but it’s better than nothing)!

I hope the song can have another resurgence, as from the looks of it it seems like it’s starting to fall everywhere on streaming.

Were these leaked? It doesn’t sound like we were meant to see this as it’s for the professional voters (or were they made available to be published to begin with)?

Applause is v underrated and remains one of the best songs of all time x

Oh she’s going hell for leather for the Grammys, she wants that ALBUM OF THE YEAR (and she better get it)!

Has there been any instances where you think to yourself “I don’t get the hype from this, either from a fan base or commercial aspect, when it comes to a song by Gaga herself”? I’m going to start this by naming some of the songs where I think it’s overrated and are merely 7-8/10 at best (and towards the bottom of Gaga’s singles discography…). -Marry The Night -The Edge Of Glory -Million Reasons

Can’t believe the votes for the former, as I thought ‘Kill For Love’ would runaway with this (I much prefer it as well!).

Is there a place where Cody gets the pop updates, just in his absence? I’m intrigued everyday to see the pop updates everyday.

This has now become my 4th favourite song on the album after ‘Garden of Eden’, ‘Abracadabra’ and ‘Disease’ oops.

Hopefully the song rebounds due to the weekend (where older songs usually benefit now). It’s kinda falling after initially peaking..
