Lady Gaga is one of the world's most famous, and most successful, artists of all time. From her unique and alternative fashion sense, aka the meat dress, to her rock and ballad-like tones, the 'Hold My Hand' singer is an icon in many ways.

The singer has also collaborated with some huge artists, releasing single after single that have soared to the top of the charts across the globe, with hits such as 'Rain On Me' with Ariana Grande and 'Telephone' with Beyoncé. While we wait for 'LG7' to arrive, Lady Gaga has now released a song with Bruno Mars called 'Die With A Smile'.

Let's take a look back at Lady Gaga's biggest collabs, and there are some stand-out records.

Take a look at some of Lady Gaga's biggest collabs:

'Just Dance' with Colby O'Donis

'Just Dance' was Lady Gaga's debut single back in 2008. Co-written with the legend Akon, it only took the duo 10 minutes to write the record, which has ended up becoming one of the best selling singles of all time, with sales reaching 10 million copies.

American singer Colby O'Donis featured on the track, helping the tune reach Number 1 on both the UK Singles Chart and the US Billboard Hot 100.

'Starstruck' with Flo Rida

'Starstruck' was released following the success of Lady Gaga's debut album, 'The Fame.' Produced and released in 2008, the track featured a rap verse by Flo Rida, with the single peaking at Number 7 on the U.S. Bubbling Under Hot 100. However, it only reached Number 191 in the UK Singles Chart.

'Telephone' with Beyoncé

'Telephone' was released in 2009, after Lady Gaga reissued her debut album under the name, 'The Fame Monster.' The song featured the one and only Beyoncé - two icons in one song, what more can we ask for?

Interestingly, Lady Gaga originally wrote the song for Britney Spears, but ended up recording it herself. And we bet she's glad that she did, as it ended up going to Number 1 in both the UK and the US.

'LoveGame' with Marilyn Manson

'LoveGame' was originally released in 2009 and went straight to Number 1 in the US, and landed at Number 19 in the UK charts. The video was deemed too "sexual" in Australia and was therefore banned from being played pre-watershed (9pm).

In 2012, Lady Gaga re-released the record with American singer/songwriter Marilyn Manson, with the pair merging their gothic-like tones together to create an incredible duet.

'Do What U Want' with Christina Aguilera

'Die With A Smile' with Bruno Mars

On 16th August 2024, Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars released a surprise collab called 'Die With A Smile'. The song is the duo's first collaboration and Lady Gaga explained how the collab came about, saying: "Bruno and I have a lot of mutual respect for each other and were talking about collaborating. I was finishing up my own album in Malibu and one night after a long day he asked me to come to his studio to hear something he was working on. It was around midnight when I got there and I was blown away when I heard what he had started making. We stayed up all night and finished writing and recording the song. Bruno's talent is beyond explanation. His musicianship and vision is next level. There's no one like him."
