Bruno Mars has once again solidified his place in music history by becoming the first artist ever to surpass 150 million monthly listeners on Spotify. This remarkable milestone is particularly significant considering that Mars hasn’t released a solo album since his 2016 hit 24K Magic.

Instead of relying on a full-length project, Mars has maintained his dominance in the music industry through a series of chart-topping collaborations that showcase his versatility and timeless appeal. One such collaboration, a track released in August 2024, has already garnered nearly 1.7 billion streams on Spotify. This track not only became his ninth Billboard Hot 100 chart-topper but also kicked off 2025 in the number-one spot, marking another impressive achievement in his career.

The track, accompanied by a celebratory music video featuring collaborations with stars like Lady Gaga and Rosé, has quickly captured the attention of fans and critics alike. Its success only adds to the anticipation surrounding Mars’s continued presence in the music scene.

This Spotify milestone also coincides with Mars’s nominations for the upcoming Grammy Awards, where he and Gaga are up for Song of the Year and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance. Meanwhile, his other recent collaboration with Rosé, Apt., has become a global sensation. The track has not only claimed the title of the best-selling song in the U.S., but it has also spent an impressive 12 non-consecutive weeks at No. 1 on Billboard’s Global Excl. U.S. chart.

Mars’s ability to stay relevant and continue dominating the charts, even without a full solo album release, speaks volumes about his unmatched talent and appeal in today’s ever-evolving music landscape.
