Bruno Mars has maintained a strong presence in the music scene with collaborations that have captured the world’s attention, leaving listeners everywhere smiling (not dying) and effortlessly singing along to “APT” on repeat.

Though the Filipino American artist hasn’t released any solo music this year, he still achieved an incredible milestone on Spotify as he broke records and cemented his place as one of the platform’s most streamed artists.

The “It Will Rain” hitmaker’s collaborations with Lady Gaga on “Die With A Smile” and Blackpink’s Rosé on “APT” have not only dominated the airwaves but also skyrocketed his streaming numbers to unprecedented heights.

These two tracks, which have surpassed a billion streams, played a pivotal role in propelling Mars to Spotify’s pinnacle. With 140,111,393 monthly listeners as of this month, the Grammy-award winning singer has become the first artist in the platform’s history to surpass 140 million monthly listeners.

This latest achievement follows his consistent dominance on the Spotify artist charts, where the songsmith has reigned for weeks. Beyond his streaming success, the “Just the Way You Are” performer has made waves in the live music scene as well, most recently making his debut at the 2024 MAMA (Mnet Asian Music Awards).

In an Instagram post, the “Lazy Song” singer said “thank you” in Korean. 

“You’re just traumatized when you have these losses. At some point, you’re just glad you’re alive,” said Don Hornstein, an insurance law expert at the University of North Carolina. “And then, you have to turn to the business side of this. It’s tough.”

“[Rosé] F#cked around and turned me into a lil K-Pop Juggernaut! Thank you @mnet_mama for my first MAMA award and thank you Rosie for letting me be your plus one last night,” he wrote, adding a fun “Kissy face kissy face!”
