A year after making history for becoming the first artist in the history of recorded music to see his name attached to 5 Diamond-certified songs, Bruno Mars recently learned the Recording Industry Association of America has similarly christened another one of his hits.
Details inside.
On the 10th anniversary of the October 1 release of Mars’ 2012 Hot 100 #1 hit ‘Locked Out of Heaven,’ the RIAA took to press to reveal the ‘Unorthodox Jukebox’ bop had ascended to Diamond status – meaning it’s sold the equivalent of 10 million copies in the United States alone.
It’s only the 87th song in history (among all artists) to be certified as such.
The sales update comes as a milestone for the organization as it’s the first time over its 70-year history the honor has been bestowed six times to songs attached to one act. His previous hits to be certified as high or higher are ‘That’s What I Like,’ ‘When I Was Your Man,’ ‘Grenade,’ ‘Just the Way You Are,’ and ‘Uptown Funk.’
Bringing his overall single sales total to 91.5 million in the U.S., Bruno is now the third best-selling male singer in digital music history following Canadian hitmakers Justin Bieber and The Weeknd.
Look below to see how Mars responded to the news.

They both have a life, friends and a career, it’s out of your league.
Stop trolling 24/7 and get a life, Jynkx, instead of pretending you’re Security on a ghetto blog because you got so badly bullied in school that the only time you can pretend you have authority is as an anonymous profile behind a screen.

“Diva will be here 24/7. Diva ain’t going nowhere.” Thank you for proving me right, you don’t have a life outside TGJ. Pathetic clown, since you are here 24/7 no need to wonder who owns all these different troll accounts here, the exposure never ends.

YOU are the one claiming to be here 24/7, me answering to you right now doesn’t mean i’m here 24/7, keep on exposing your dumbness I love it.
All the French are sissy pu$$ies but even you’re a sissy p**** to other French men who beat your sissy ass up after school every single day that you ran home crying to mommy who beat you with a broom until your alcoholic daddy came home from the bar and lashed your ass with his belt. Is that why you can only feel big behind a screen? 🤭lmaoooooooooo 🤣 Aww poor little Jynkx! Hehehehe 😆
So you’ve been bullied in school so being here playing the queen you’re not is is the only time you can pretend you have authority is as an anonymous profile behind a screen? No surprise.
Everytime you think you made a point you’re just embarassing yourself, how sad 😂💀
N’awww cry to mommy 😢😢😢😢 and get smacked upside the head by that broom again 🧹🧹🧹🧹
Neither could Nicki, Beyonce, Cummilla or anyone else you fake stan😇
All 3 of them each have a Diamond single so I think you were talking about Normani 💀
*A* diamond single. Bruno has 6🤣🤣🤣
That was my point. Reading in ENGLISH is fundamental, Jynkx.
Cardi has 4 already with 1 album she can’t do what hater 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
She won’t get 6 lmaoooooooooo 🤣
Correction: RIAA shows that Cardi has 3 diamond singles: Bodak Yellow, I Like It, and Girls Like You. Bodak Yellow and I Like It were from Cardi’s only album (Invasion of Privacy which was released April 2018). Girls Like You was for her feature on the Maroon 5 single. Bruno has 2 diamonds from his 1st album, 2 diamonds from his 2nd, 1 from his 3rd, and 1 from his collab with Mark Ronson. It will be interesting to see if Cardi can keep up the momentum with her 2nd album.
dude songs never leave Radio, so no surprise.

Glad you at least like Uptown Funk. Along with lead vocals, Bruno had songwriting/producing credit and played drums on the record. If that wasn’t enough he co-directed the Uptown Funk music video. People tend to forget Bruno made a name for himself as a songwriter/producer before he even released his first studio album. He has 2 Grammy nominations for Producer of the Year, Non-Classical and multiple Grammy nominations and wins as a songwriter in r&b, pop, and rap categories.
Why there always gotta be fights and stan wars up in here! It drives me CRAZY! Congratulate and move on! I can’t take y’all anymore!
Congrats to the Canadians that are beating him lmaoooooo 👀 🤣☕️ 🇨🇦
Stop fighting aaaaaaarrrrgghhhhh!
