Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga have been independently ruling pop radio for the past nearly 15 years, and last week, they finally teamed up for their first collaboration: the bombastic pop/rock duet “Die With a Smile.”
On the new Billboard Pop Shop Podcast, Katie and Keith talk about why they make such a powerful pop duo. Plus, we chat about F-1 billionPost Malone's first country album and why it fits so well into the genre.
