Lady Gaga's "Die With a Smile" f/Bruno Mars (Interscope) refuses to die. The stand-alone cut, which arrived in August, is once again Shazam's Biggest Mover. The track currently sits at #2 on the Spotify USA chart and #1 global, undoubtedly inspiring Shazammers to Shazam like there's no tomorrow.
At #2 is "How Long" by burgeoning country act Flatland Cavalry. The track comes from the Texas-bred group's 2022 EP, Songs To Keep You Warm, and features singer Kaitlin Butts. It saw a surge in activity after it was featured on the premiere of the CBS/Paramount+ hit series Yellowstone earlier this week.
Following closely behind at #3 is the latest single from Maryland rapper Nino Paid, "Play This at My Funeral," which succeeds the release of his 2024 album, Can't Go Back (Signal/Columbia). Closing out the Top 5 is KAROL G's new track, "+57" f/FEID, DFZM, J Balvin, Maluma, Ryan Castro and Blessd (Bichota/Interscope), at #4 and Anthony Q's bluesy anthem "Try Loving Me (Unplugged Live Version)" at #5. As for us, we're told we're just unlovable.
