Bruno Mars and Cardi B shook Q1 all the way up with their surprise collaboration ‘Finesse.’
The reworked version of the ’24k Magic’ jam came packaged with a high-octane video that saluted 90s TV hit ‘In Living Color.’
And the combination is proving a powerful one for the record buying public.
Find out why below…
As at writing, ‘Finesse’ has flown to #1 on US iTunes. It’s a feat achieved less than 12 hours after its debut.
Needless to say, it’s a slay out of the gate for for the Atlantic Records duo.
What’s more, it’ll make for a compelling chart narrative on the Billboard Hot 100.
See, in being released on a Thursday (instead of Friday), only its first day performance will be tallied and counted towards the next issue of the Hot 100.
It’s actually the chart of the week after that will more accurately relay its success, as that count will include a full week’s worth of figures.
Add to that the incoming release from Justin Timberlake and 2018 is already off to a super competitive start on the charts.

It started to snow a couple hours before Bruno dropped the video last night! This song has got me feeling like school is out for a snow day and I don’t have to go anywhere! lol, I can just listen to my jams! ❄️ ⛄️ #Finesse
This is definitely very 80’s-90’s inspired! I hear Bobby Brown and Soul 4 Real!
Lol I love it!
lol meh, itll flop just like versace on the floor lmao
Bruno Mars means business & adding Cardi B added to his spot as well!!
I don’t know why TGJ wants Justin and Bruno to compete so bad. Justin is like their Beyoncé. Smokes and mirrors.
Hey Beyonce fan
