Summary Bruno Mars charts seven songs in the U.K. this week, with five appearing on the Official Streaming chart alone. “Die with a Smile,” his Grammy-winning Lady Gaga collaboration, returns to the streaming tally and reenters both the Official Singles Sales and Official Singles Downloads charts, while also jumping back into the top 40 on the Official Singles list. “Locked Out of Heaven” and “Risk It All” also return to the Official Streaming chart, while “I Just Might” and “Apt.” with Rosé climb on the same roster.
Bruno Mars is enjoying a huge week on the charts in the United Kingdom. Almost all of his albums appear on at least two tallies – only Unorthodox Jukebox is missing – and many mount impressive comebacks.
The Grammy winner is even more successful when looking at individual tracks. Seven songs representing multiple periods in his career appear across a variety of rankings in the U.K., and several return after previously disappearing. Mars storms the Official Streaming chart with five titles, while one of his most successful collaborations becomes a bestseller again on multiple rosters.
Three Mars songs return to the Official Streaming chart this week. “Die with a Smile,” his Grammy-winning collaboration with Lady Gaga, performs best among the trio, reappearing at No. 71. “Locked Out of Heaven” finds its way back to the streaming-only ranking at No. 78, while “Risk It All” barely manages to return. The tune, featured on his latest album The Romantic , reenters the Official Streaming chart at No. 94.
In addition to those three returning smashes, two other Mars favorites climb on the Official Streaming chart. Altogether, the pop superstar controls five spaces on the list of the most-streamed tunes of any style in the U.K.
“I Just Might” rises nine slots, surging from No. 40 to No. 31. “Apt.,” his collaboration with Blackpink singer Rosé, also enjoys a sizable improvement. The win advances from No. 91 to No. 75.
“Die with a Smile” appears on four U.K. tallies this week, and it returns to all but one of them. In addition to its No. 71 comeback on the Official Streaming chart, the collaboration reenters both of the country’s rundowns of the bestselling cuts.
The Mars/Gaga duet narrowly manages to find space on the Official Singles Sales chart, where it returns at No. 100, in absolute last place. It performs slightly better on the Official Singles Downloads ranking, where it reappears at No. 94.
“Die with a Smile” does not need to return to the Official Singles chart, as it was already present on the ranking days ago. In fact, it’s rarely missing from the roster. This time around, the song leaps from No. 55 to No. 31, breaking back into the top 40. The Official Singles chart focuses on the most-consumed tracks in the U.K. each week.
“Die with a Smile” has now spent 91 weeks on the main songs roster. The collaboration missed out on becoming another champion for both superstars by only one space, as it peaked at No. 2. It reached the same high point on the Official Streaming chart, though it did manage to dominate the sales lists.
One more Mars track returns to a ranking in the U.K. this frame. “Marry You” finds its way back to the Official Hip-Hop and R&B Singles chart, where it can currently be found at No. 35. The longtime favorite, one of his earliest hits, has spent 77 weeks on the genre-specific roster and has climbed as high as No. 3.
“I Just Might” appears on four charts — the same quartet occupied by “Die with a Smile” — and it rises on every one of them. It continues to reside within the top 40 on half of them, more than half a year after its release ahead of The Romantic .
“Count on Me” appears only on the Official Singles Sales and Official Singles Downloads charts this week. Unlike most of Mars’s current hits, it declines on both of them simultaneously. It sits only a few slots above the bottom of the pair of tallies, and it looks like the track may vanish soon.
