On the singles side, recent tracks such as Die With A Smile, her collaboration with Bruno Mars, and Abracadabra also entered the German single charts in 2025, both peaking at number four according to the same chart database. This shows that the success of The Fame in Germany was not an isolated early?career phenomenon but the beginning of a sustained chart presence.
