Summary Bruno Mars reaches multiple career milestones with “Still,” his collaboration with Karol G. The track debuts at No. 23 on the Digital Song Sales chart, No. 37 on the Adult Pop Airplay ranking, No. 41 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 124 on the Billboard Global 200. “Still” becomes Mars’s milestone twenty-fifth Adult Pop Airplay hit and forty-fifth Billboard Hot 100 entry, while Karol G reaches 40 career Hot 100 appearances and doubles her Adult Pop Airplay total to two.
Bruno Mars has several singles going strong on the Billboard charts at the moment. Multiple cuts from his latest album, The Romantic – which was released earlier this year after a lengthy break since his last solo collection – are performing well. That roundup includes lead single “I Just Might” and “Risk It All,” which is paired with its Spanish-language version, “Lo Arriesgo Todo.”
This week, the Grammy winner collects another smash alongside Latin superstar Karol G, who recruited Mars for the collaboration “Still.” The new tune launches on multiple Billboard charts, and as it arrives, it helps Mars collect milestone hits on several of them.
“Still” debuts on four Billboard rankings this week. The collaboration opens on the Digital Song Sales and Adult Pop Airplay charts , the Billboard Hot 100 and the Billboard Global 200 at Nos. 23, 37, 41 and 124, respectively. The track does not manage to reach the Billboard Global Excl. U.S., the companion worldwide tally to the Billboard Global 200 that removes consumption from the United States.
“Still” becomes Mars’s milestone twenty-fifth career appearance on the Adult Pop Airplay chart. Of his 25 hits on the radio-focused roster, 16 have climbed into the top 10, and five have risen all the way to No. 1. Mars added to that latter figure earlier this year when “I Just Might” reached the summit in March and spent nine weeks running the show.
For the moment, “Still” ties another collaboration, “Please Me,” as Mars’s lowest-peaking hit on the Adult Pop Airplay ranking. “Please Me,” one of his multiple team-ups with Cardi B, debuted at No. 37 more than half a decade ago and never climbed any higher.
“Still” just misses out on becoming another top 40 hit for Mars on the Billboard Hot 100 , where it launches at No. 41. The duet gives Mars his forty-fifth career appearance on the most competitive songs roster in the United States. Almost exactly half of those tunes have pushed into the top 10, as the singer-songwriter is up to 22 appearances inside the highest tier.
A milestone 10 Mars songs have lifted all the way to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. That special collection includes “I Just Might,” which debuted in first place back in January and spent just under a month leading the charge.
Karol also celebrates a major Billboard Hot 100 milestone this week. The Colombian superstar lands several debuts on the ranking, bringing her career total to 40 appearances. A handful of tracks from her latest album launch on the roster this frame, joining several other cuts from the project that reached the tally earlier this year.
“Still” also doubles Karol’s career total on the Adult Pop Airplay chart. She first reached the ranking in May 2020 alongside the Jonas Brothers with the simply-titled “X.” That collaboration climbed as high as No. 15.
