Bruno Mars continues to bulldoze records. And his latest achievement may be one of his biggest yet.
Full story below…
Just days after he and Anderson. Paak‘s ‘Leave The Door Open’ leapt back to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, the stage blazer has seen his name etched into the history books.
For, ‘That’s What I Like’ and ‘When I Was Your Man’ have both been certified Diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America.
The honor commemorates equivalent sales and streams of 10 million.
Mars’ latest wins mean he has become the first artist in history to achieve five RIAA Diamond certified singles.
His previous songs to be certified as such are ‘Grenade,’ ‘Just the Way You Are,’ and ‘Uptown Funk.’
Mitch Glazier, Chairman and CEO, Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) said in a statement:
“Congratulations to Bruno Mars – the first artist with five Diamond Single Awards in the history of RIAA’s Gold and Platinum Program! This milestone is a testament to Bruno’s unstoppable creative genius and the incredible partnership he has built with the team at Atlantic Records. What Bruno has accomplished is just extraordinary. Fewer than 60 Diamond Single Awards have ever been awarded – and Bruno now has five of them!”
Oh so deserved! Congrats to Bruno!
