Atlantic's
Bruno Mars has another record to add to his virtual trophy case, as he's become the first act to reach 150m monthly listeners on
Spotify. He's currently the top artist on the streamer.
Mars has 17 songs in excess of 1b streams on the platform, including the
Lady Gaga collab "Die With a Smile," which reached that threshold faster than any other, and
ROSÉ's "APT.," which just achieved the distinction. Combined, those two songs have spent the equivalent of more than five months at #1 on Spotify. Not for nothing, "Smile" is nominated for Song of the Year and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance
Grammys.
Bruno can also be heard alongside
Sexyy Red on “Fat Juicy & Wet,” which arrived 1/24. He, Gaga and ROSÉ all appear in the
racy accompanying video.

HITS is racing through a very unhealthy lunch.
