More than a decade and a half ago, Bruno Mars released his debut album Doo-Wops & Hooligans. By that point, he had scored a few hits on the charts, largely with other acts, and it was his initial full-length that turned him into a true hitmaker and global powerhouse.
Since then, Mars has only dropped a few additional collections, including one as one-half of the superduo Silk Sonic, as he likes to space his projects out by many years, letting each one breathe and produce multiple hit singles. This year has been all about The Romantic, Mars’s fourth solo offering and his first entirely on his own in nearly a decade. Even as the singer-songwriter promotes The Romantic via tunes like “I Just Might” and “Risk It All,” Doo-Wops & Hooligans continues to perform well all around the world. In the United Kingdom, the album reaches a milestone that none of Mars’s other full-lengths have even approached.
