Multi-Grammy Award winner Bruno Mars is a critically acclaimed singer, songwriter, producer, director and musician who has sold over 170 million singles and over 26 million albums worldwide, making him one of the best-selling musicians of all time. Mars recently released the hit single “24K Magic,” which debuted at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100, marking his highest debut to date and his 13th Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100. Mars is set to release his highly anticipated third album, “24K Magic,” on Nov. 18. To celebrate his new music, Mars recently performed on “Saturday Night Live” for the fourth time, and he will open the “American Music Awards.” Mars recently dominated charts with his RIAA Diamond-certified single “Uptown Funk.” The worldwide hit is the longest-leading Billboard Hot 100 single of this decade and is only the 10th single in the Hot 100’s 57-year history to spend at least 14 weeks at #1. “Uptown Funk” took home three Grammy Awards this past year, including the coveted Record of the Year Award. The companion video for the hit single also took home an MTV Video Music Award for Best Male Video. Mars returned to the Super Bowl Halftime stage in February 2016 to perform alongside Beyoncé and Coldplay. In 2014, Mars made NFL history with the second most-watched Super Bowl Halftime Show, which saw a record-breaking total viewership of over 115.3 million, all while being the youngest artist ever to serve as the sole Super Bowl Halftime headliner. According to Billboard, Mars scored his first five Hot 100 #1 hits faster than any male since Elvis Presley. As a singer, songwriter and producer, Bruno Mars has an impressive catalog of 35 Hot 100 hits.

His fourth full-length album, “Starboy,” is set for release on Nov. 25. The title track, featuring Daft Punk, broke the record for most release weekend streams ever upon its release. In less than a week, the single amassed over 17 million streams globally and 6.5 million streams in the United States, becoming #1 most added at Top 40, Rhythm, Urban and Hot AC.
