NEW YORK, NY–(Marketwire – January 18, 2011) – Elektra recording
artist Bruno Mars is currently sitting on top of the world with his
blockbuster new single, “Grenade.” The track — featured on Mars’
breakthrough debut album, “DOO-WOPS & HOOLIGANS” — has just
returned to #1 on Billboard‘s
“Hot 100” while simultaneously topping the singles charts in both
Canada and the United Kingdom. This marks the second Mars single to
accomplish the international feat, following the Grammy Award-nominated
“Just The Way You Are” which topped all three countries’ charts
concurrently back in October. As if all that weren’t enough, “Grenade”
is also currently iTunes’ #1 song in both Germany and Ireland.
Here in the US, the #1 success of both “Grenade” and “Just
The Way You Are” establishes Mars as only the sixth-ever solo male
artist in history to reach the top of the charts with his first two
singles and the first to do so in 13 years. What’s more, “Grenade”
recently made history with the third biggest sales week of any US single
ever (with sales of more than 559,000), and has been certified 2x
platinum by the RIAA for total sales exceeding 2 million. To continue, Please click “MORE”!
