Lady Gaga<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Bruno Mars<\/strong>‘ duet “Die With a Smile” is quietly becoming one of the biggest hits of the year.<\/p>\n

While it hasn’t topped the Billboard<\/em> Hot 100, it’s currently at #2\u00a0and has topped various other Billboard<\/em> charts. And on Wednesday came the news that it has just set a record as the fastest song<\/a>\u00a0in history to reach\u00a01 billion streams on Spotify.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to the streaming platform, the song dropped on Aug. 16 and hit the milestone on Nov. 20, so it accomplished that feat<\/a> in less than 100 days. The song has also earned the superstar duo two Grammy nominations.<\/p>\n

But what about Gaga’s other single, “Disease”? She’s just released a new version of it called “Disease (The Poison Live).” It’s a live-in-the-studio<\/a>, stripped-down\u00a0performance in which Gaga is accompanied only by an electric guitar. It’s the follow-up to another version she released called “Disease (The Antidote Live)<\/a>.”\u00a0That one had her singing the song accompanied only by a piano and acoustic guitar.<\/p>\n

Why so many versions? According to a press release, each one “highlights a different facet of the track\u2019s emotional intensity and versatility.”<\/p>\n

“Disease” is the first single from Gaga’s seventh album, which is due out next year.<\/p>\n
