Bruno Mars Makes His Decade-Old Single A Global Smash Again

Bruno Mars is never absent from Billboard’s global charts these days, whether he’s pushing something brand new or fans are focusing their listening on the tracks that made him a superstar years ago. The singer-songwriter regularly fills multiple spaces on both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S., and this week is no exception, as the Grammy champion appears with several favorites – including one which rebounds onto both tallies.

“Locked Out of Heaven”Returns to the Global Charts

“Locked Out of Heaven” breaks back onto both Billboard’s lists of the most consumed songs around the world and the most popular tunes globally, with U.S. streams and sales excluded. The decade-plus-old smash reenters the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. at No. 162, and it comes in at No. 174 on the Billboard Global 200.

Two Years on the Charts

“Locked Out of Heaven” has already spent at least two years on both of these rankings. It even reaches the 104 week-milestone on the Billboard Global 200 as it returns. Despite its longevity, the track has never climbed into the top 40 on either list.

Bruno Mars Claims Multiple Top 10s

Mars sits just below the top spot on both rankings with a pair of smashes — ones which have already become some of the biggest hits in the history of these rosters. “Die With a Smile,” his collaboration with Lady Gaga, remains steady in the runner-up space on both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. At the same time, “Apt,” which saw Mars team up with Blackpink star Rosé, is a non-mover in third place on the two rankings.

“Just the Way You Are” Also Continues to Perform Well

In between “Die With a Smile,” “Apt.,” and “Locked Out of Heaven” comes “Just the Way You Are,” Mars’s first solo smash, and it is growing in popularity around the world, which happens from time to time. This week, it leaps more than 30 spaces on both the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. and Billboard Global 200, settling at Nos. 145 and 156, respectively. Just like “Locked Out of Heaven,” the track has lived on these lists for a long time but never managed to become a top 40 smash.
