As of March 17th, 2025, “APT” has 1 billion streams on Spotify and “Die with a Smile” has 2 billion streams. Bruno Mars’ comeback is truly one of the biggest the music industry has ever seen.
After almost 8 years of not releasing a song, Bruno Mars shocks the world with “Die with a Smile” featuring Lady Gaga back in August 2024 as well as “APT” featuring BLACKPINK member, ROSÉ in October to end the 2024 year.
These two songs have topped the Billboard Global 200 and “Die with a Smile” was nominated for two Grammys and ended up winning the “Best Pop Duo/Group Performance” award, making it Bruno’s 15th Grammy.
During the first month of 2025, he released yet another collab song with rapper Sexxy Red called “Fat, Juicy, and Wet” that left fans speechless. This song is very playful and raunchy, and something that fans wouldn’t expect Bruno to sing.
Mars is blowing up this year and reaching huge milestones. According to Spotify, “On January 27, the global superstar became the first artist to reach 150 million monthly listeners on our platform.” (Spotify).
On that same day, Bruno made an announcement that he will be performing at Park MGM in Las Vegas in late May and early June.
Fans are anticipating a new album from Bruno, the silence on the media might be giving away that he possibly is working on developing one in the studio. A writer, Amit Sharma says, “Fans have been sharing their dream collaborations, wish list tracks, and even creating their own album concepts. The anticipation is palpable, and it’s clear that the world is ready for more Bruno Mars music.” (Sharma).
All the world can do right now is wait and see what else he has to offer; the anticipation might just make the potential album release even more exciting.
