Bruno Mars Ties Elvis Presley, Phil Collins And Frankie Valli’s Records With His Seventh No. 1 Single “That’s What I Like” Topping The Billboard Hot 100

Global superstar Bruno Mars has scored his seventh Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 with his latest worldwide smash, “That’s What I Like.” The triumph comes exactly seven years after Bruno scored his first Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 with “Nothin’ On You.” What’s more, Mars is one of the few artists to have written and produced each of his No. 1 hits and has had a No. 1 song on the Hot 100 from each of his first three studio albums. With seven Hot 100 No. 1s, Mars is now tied with Elvis Presley, Phil Collins, and Frankie Valli for the most chart-toppers among male soloists, and is also ranked #1 amongst male artists with the most Hot 100 No.1s for this decade; extending his lead over Justin Bieber, Drake, Eminem, and The Weeknd. The superstar is the fastest male soloist to reach his first five No. 1s since Elvis Presley.

“I’m extremely honored to get the gold this week!” Mars says of the achievement, “It’s amazing to see an R&B song at the top of the charts – such a great moment! I love everybody right now! CHEERS BILLBOARD!”
