Mars went on to pick up several Grammy Award nods for his debut effort, including for Album of the Year. While he went home empty-handed, Mars gave a career-building performance at the telecast.

The two had a big No. In September , news broke that Mars was selected to be a part of the half-time entertainment at the next Super Bowl.

Coming off one of the biggest hits of all time, as well as two massive albums, there was a lot of hype for this release. The lead single, also titled 24K Magic , peaked at 4. While not a failure by any means, it became his first lead single to not reach 1.
It became one of the very few songs in history to spend half a year inside the US Hot Top With the help of Cardi B , the album spawned a second Top 3 hit, Finesse.

Despite only releasing 3 studio albums so far and debuting during a time when digital sales had already pretty much overtaken physical albums, Bruno Mars is already up to With an average of 5.

It is hard to find a list of singles from one artist which is so packed with gigantic hits. What about the hits then?
As many as 7 songs topped that threshold with only two eras, an immense result. It was also strong by standards in the ringtones segment with , sales in the US alone.
