Bruno Mars’ Biggest Billboard Hot 100 Hits

From a behind-the-scenes start lifting others’ careers to carving out his own colossal catalog, Bruno Mars has become one of the most consistent hitmakers of the last decade.

After Mars spent years shuffling through the label system and building a roster of collaborators, he earned a key breakthrough as a co-writer of Flo Rida’s “Right Round,” which topped the Billboard Hot 100 for six weeks in early 2009. Just a year later, he’d be on top again — but this time under his own name, earning a featured artist credit on B.o.B.’s “Nothin’ on You,” which ruled the big chart for three weeks.

From there, Mars’ career ignited. Despite the singer-songwriter’s penchant for hopscotching across genres, offering his take on acoustic pop, ’80’s pop/rock, ’70s-inspired funk, ’90s-led new jack swing and anything in between, Mars settled into a consistent level of enviable success. All four of his studio projects – his three solo efforts Doo-Wops and Hooligans, Unorthodox Jukebox and 24K Magic, as well as his collaborative album with Anderson .Paak, An Evening With Silk Sonic – have each generated at least one Hot 100 No. 1 hit, and the collections were also favored by his industry peers, with each set also claiming at least one Grammy Award.

And true to his collaborative roots, even Mars’ featured appearances have yielded staggering results. Eight of his 19 Hot 100 top 10s involve other artists, most notably his supporting spot on Mark Ronson’s “Uptown Funk!.” The defining smash dominated the Hot 100 for 14 weeks in 2015 and was named the chart’s top title of the year and its biggest hit of the entire 2010s decade.

As we review one of the strongest singles collections in recent pop history, here’s a countdown of Bruno Mars’ 20 biggest hits as an artist on the Billboard Hot 100.
