Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars have received a mixed 28 Grammy Awards – 13 for her, 15 for him – so it doesn’t take a genius to know that their newly-released collaboration, “Die With a Smile,” is a powerful contender for Grammy nods. The music was launched on Aug. 16, two weeks earlier than the shut of eligibility for the 67th annual Grammy Awards.

The on the spot smash has likelihood of nominations for report of the yr, music of the yr and finest pop duo/group efficiency.

Both artists have been nominated a number of occasions for report of the yr for earlier collaborations. Mars has been nominated thrice for collaborations – as a featured artist on B.o.B.’s “Nothin’ on You” and Mark Ronson’s “Uptown Funk!” and because the co-lead artist with Anderson .Paak on Silk Sonic’s “Leave the Door Open.” If he’s nominated once more for “Die With a Smile,” he’ll get away of a tie with Jay-Z and Rihanna because the artist with probably the most report of the yr nods as a part of a collab.

Gaga has been nominated for report of the yr with two earlier collabs – “Shallow” with Bradley Cooper and “I Get a Kick Out of You” with Tony Bennett. Counting all singles, not simply collabs, this may be Mars’ seventh report of the yr nod; Gaga’s fourth.

The Grammy nominations might be introduced on Nov. 8. The 67th annual Grammy Awards might be introduced on Feb. 2, 2025 at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.

Gaga and Mars co-wrote and co-produced “Die With a Smile” with Dernst “D’Mile” Emile II and Andrew Watt. James Fauntleroy was an extra co-writer.

Mars has the most effective batting averages of any artist in Grammy historical past. He has received 15 awards from simply 31 nominations. Adele at one level had received 15 awards from simply 18 nominations, however her batting common got here all the way down to earth a bit when she received only one award from seven nominations in 2023. (Her present standing – 16 awards from 25 nods – remains to be fairly nice!)

Gaga has received 13 awards from 36 nominations.

While it’s too early to foretell who’s going to win in the marquee classes, if “Die With a Smile” does win report of the yr, Mars would set an enormous Grammy report: the primary artist to win report of the yr 4 occasions. He’d get away of a tie with Paul Simon, who has received thrice (counting two Simon & Garfunkel classics).

Mars received the award in 2016 as a featured artist on Ronson’s “Uptown Funk!,” in 2018 for the solo smash “24K Magic” and together with Anderson .Paak in 2022 for Silk Sonic’s “Leave the Door Open.”

If it wins music of the yr, Mars and D’Mile would develop into the primary three-time winners in that class. They are presently in a tie with Henry Mancini & Johnny Mercer, Billie Eilish & Finneas O’Connell, Adele, Brody Brown, James Horner, Will Jennings and the members of U2, with two wins every.

Mars beforehand received music of the yr for co-writing “That’s What I Like” and “Leave the Door Open.” D’Mile beforehand received for co-writing H.E.R.’s “I Can’t Breathe” and “Leave the Door Open.”

If “Die With a Smile” wins report or music of the yr, it could be Gaga’s first win in a so-called Big Four class (album, report or music of the yr plus finest new artist).

If the collab wins finest pop duo/group efficiency, it could be Gaga’s record-setting third win in that class, following wins for pairings with Cooper (“Shallow”) and Ariana Grande (“Rain on Me”). Gaga is presently tied with SZA with two wins every in the class (which was launched on the 2012 ceremony).

Gaga and Mars share one other Grammy frequent bond: Neither was nominated for finest new artist, regardless of each getting off to scorching profession begins. In each instances it’s as a result of they blew up so quick that they ran afoul of Grammy eligibility guidelines in that class.

Gaga was entered in the very best new artist competitors for the awards that have been introduced in 2009, however she wasn’t nominated. She was nominated that yr for finest dance recording for “Just Dance,” her Hot 100-topping collab with Colby O’Donis. That nomination precluded her from getting a second shot at finest new artist the next yr (which is the norm in that class for artists whose breakthroughs don’t neatly fall into one Grammy eligibility yr).

Mars was by no means even entered for finest new artist. He acquired seven nominations on the awards that have been introduced in 2011, successful finest pop vocal efficiency, male for his Hot 100-topping “Just the Way You Are.” But as a result of his first full-length album hadn’t been launched by the shut of that eligibility yr – it was launched 4 days later, on Oct. 4, 2010 – he wasn’t eligible for finest new artist that yr. And he wasn’t allowed in the class the next yr as a result of he was, by that time, a Grammy winner. (That’s what you name a Grammy Catch-22.)

The failure of each artists to be nominated for finest new artist hasn’t appeared to unduly sluggish their profession momentum.

“Die With a Smile” is predicted to problem for a debut inside the highest 10 on subsequent week’s Billboard Hot 100. The chart might be unveiled on Monday (Aug. 26).
