Bruno Mars regularly fills several spaces on Billboard’s two global rankings. He has released several tracks in the past year that continue to perform well week after week. When competition lightens up, there’s also room for earlier hits — some of which turned him into a household name globally — to return.

The celebrated singer-songwriter doubles his total number of wins on the pair of rosters this time around as several of his biggest smashes reappear and join two of his most recent global successes.

“Just the Way You Are” Becomes a Global Hit Again

“Just the Way You Are,” Mars’ debut solo hit, returns to both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. this frame. The solo cut reenters the worldwide ranking at No. 159 and finds its way to No. 152 on the list that shows what billions of people all around the planet are listening to, with U.S. consumption completely ignored.

“Locked Out of Heaven” Surges Worldwide

Not far behind “Just the Way You Are” comes “Locked Out of Heaven,” which fronted his sophomore set Unorthodox Jukebox. The track also surges back onto the same two rankings. “Locked Out of Heaven” is a bigger win on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S., where it breaks back in at No. 164, while it appears more than 10 spaces lower on the Billboard Global 200, landing at No. 176.

While “Just the Way You Are” is the bigger hit between the two comebacks, “Locked Out of Heaven” has earned higher peaks and longer stays on both rankings.

Bruno Mars Claims Four Global Smashes

Mars currently claims two top 10 hits on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. with tracks nearing their first year on the ranking. “Die With a Smile,” his collaboration with Lady Gaga, jumps from No. 9 to No. 6 as it approaches 52 frames on the tally – a milestone it will almost certainly make it to in a few days. His collaboration with Blackpink star Rosé, “Apt.,” dips to ninth place.

The same tracks also appear on the Billboard Global 200, though only one finds space inside the top tier. “Die With a Smile” holds at No. 9, while “Apt.” remains just one spot below the top 10.
