Lady Gaga’s Oscar-Nominated Song Is A Bestseller Once More

Lady Gaga has a lot going on at the moment. She is getting ready for the release of her upcoming album Mayhem, which has already produced two hit singles: “Abracadabra” and “Disease.” As the former of those two rises to a new peak on multiple lists, “Die With a Smile,” her collaboration with Bruno Mars, is also performing well months after it dropped.

Amidst all of her current wins, one of the superstar’s years-old cuts is back after she highlighted it during one of America’s most-watched programs when it comes to music. Much of the discussion around the Super Bowl was aimed at Kendrick Lamar, as he headlined the halftime show alongside his friend SZA. Gaga was involved as well, though, as she performed during a tribute to a number of victims of natural disasters and violent events, during which she showcased her tune “Hold My Hand.”

That cut reappears on one Billboard chart this week, following the high-profile showing. The track is back on the Digital Song Sales chart at No. 5, becoming a top 10 bestseller once more.

In the past tracking week, “Hold My Hand” sold a little over 7,500 copies across America. That’s up 2,943% from the period before, when it didn’t quite hit 250 copies purchased.

Gaga claims a pair of top five bestsellers on the Digital Song Sales chart this week. As “Hold My Hand” reappears at No. 5, “Abracadabra” lifts to a new high point of No. 3. This frame marks that tune’s second on the tally, as it debuted just a few days ago in fifth place.

The singer-songwriter actually manages a trio of top 10s this frame on the sales ranking. “Die With a Smile” slips from No. 4 to No. 10, but manages to hold on inside the loftiest region, despite an onslaught of comebacks and debuts from Lamar.

Gaga released “Hold My Hand” in May 2022 and it served as the lead single from the Top Gun: Maverick soundtrack. She wrote and produced the tune alongside BloodPop, and the two were nominated for both Best Original Song at the Academy Awards and Best Song Written for Visual Media at the Grammys, though the composition didn’t come out on top in either instance.
