The song reached number one in over 20 countries, and the top ten in several other countries, including the UK, Australia, and Canada. For multiple weeks in December 2024, it was the highest-ranking non-holiday song on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US.

The only other artists to achieve this are Michael and Janet Jackson.^[2] Additionally, it became Gaga's seventh Canadian chart-topper.^[3] In an Instagram Reel thanking fans for her sixth US number-one and tied record with the Jackson siblings, Gaga confirmed the song is part of the track listing for her upcoming eighth studio album, Mayhem (2025).^[4]
