Bruno Mars has made history—he’s the first artist to have five songs certified Diamond by the Recording Industry Association Of America (RIAA).
“That’s What I Like”, “When I Was Your Man”, “Just The Way You Are,” “Grenade”, and his collaboration with Mark Ronson, “Uptown Funk!” are Diamond certified.
“Congratulations to Bruno Mars — the first artist with five Diamond Single Awards in the history of RIAA’s Gold and Platinum Program!”, Recording Industry Association Of America chairman and CEO Mitch Glazier said of the achievement in a statement.
“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!,” he continued.
Mars recently collaborated with Anderson .Paak for Silk Sonic. They released their first single “Leave the Door Open” in March. The song has been No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart for the past two weeks.
