Trivia / Bruno Mars

Go To

  • Breakthrough Hit: Mars got his start being a very well-received feature in songs like "Billionaire" and "Nothin' on You". Thanks to these featured spots, by the time his debut single "Just the Way You Are" released, it went straight to #1.
  • Creator Backlash: He claimed in a podcast that he hates "The Lazy Song", he's ashamed that he wrote it, and he won't be performing it live anytime soon.
  • One-Hit Wonder: Not Bruno himself, who is currently one of the most reliable hit-makers in the industry, but his appearance in "Uptown Funk!" ended up causing Mark Ronson to become this in the U.S. (although he is more popular as a producer). He also co-wrote "Fuck You" (alternatively "Forget You") which is Cee Lo Green's only single to chart in the top 90 (at least as a solo lead artist) in the United States. He is also featured on Gym Class Heroes frontman Travie McCoy's Billionaire which would end up being McCoy's only top 40 solo hit in most countries.
