Bruno Mars secures a No. 1 position alongside Rihanna and Mariah Carey once more.
Fifteen years ago, Bruno Mars graced Billboard's Radio Songs chart for the first time, teaming up with then-popular hip-hop artist B.o.B for "Nothin' On You." This collaboration ultimately climbed its way to the top in February 2010.
Since then, Mars has solidified his position as a chart-topping powerhouse in pop music. Whenever he releases new content, programmers and DJs can't get enough, and he seldom disappoints. This week, we see Bruno Mars securing another No. 1 spot with "Die With a Smile" featuring Lady Gaga, making it his tenth leader on Billboard's Radio Songs chart.
While Rihanna holds the record for the most No. 1 songs on the Radio Songs tally with 13, Mars and Mariah Carey follow closely with 10 and 12, respectively. Mars earned his first No. 1 with "Nothin' On You" in May 2010, and since then, he's consistently delivered hit after hit, including "Uptown Funk," "That's What I Like," "Just the Way You Are," "Leave the Door Open" (with Silk Sonic), "Locked out of Heaven," "Grenade," "When I Was Your Man," "Nothing on You" (with B.o.B), "Die With a Smile" (with Gaga), and "Finesse" (with Cardi B).
As "Die With a Smile" takes the lead, Mars inches closer to achieving another No. 1. Up next is "Apt.," a collaboration with Blackpink singer Rose. This song currently sits at No. 5, marking a new high for both the tune and Rose herself.
Meanwhile, "Fat Juicy & Wet," another collaboration with rapper Sexyy Red, climbs to No. 44 on the Radio Songs chart in its second turn. While its chances of making it to the top might not be as strong as "Apt.," thanks to its graphically-explicit content.
Unfortunately, data suggests that Mars has not yet reached double-digit leaders on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. However, multiple sources indicate that only a handful of No. 1 hits have managed to reign for double-digit weeks, with Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road" holding the all-time record with 19 weeks at the No. 1 spot.
As Mars continues to dominate the charts and break personal records, music listeners can expect even more catchy tunes from this reliable pop sensation.
