Bruno Mars' sophomore album will be titled "Unorthodox Jukebox" and is set for a Dec. 11 release on Atlantic Records, Billboard has exclusively learned. In this week's cover story (look for it later Friday), Mars previews the follow-up to his Grammy Award-winning "Doo-Wops & Hooligans" and discusses the new album's energetic first single, "Locked Out of Heaven," which debuts digitally and on radio on Oct. 1. "This is me going into the studio and recording and writing whatever I want," Mars says confidently. "This album represents my freedom." The eclectic set includes production from Mark Ronson ( Amy Winehouse), Jeff Bhasker ( Beyonce), Emile Haynie ( Eminem), Diplo ( M.I.A., Usher) and Supa Dups ( John Legend, "Doo-Woops & Hooligans") as well as the Smeezingtons, Mars' three-man songwriting and production team. The trio executive-produced and co-wrote "Unorthodox Jukebox," an album Mars says refuses to "pick a lane." "I've had big record label presidents look me in the face and say, 'Your music sucks, you don't know who you are, your music is all over the place, and we don't know how to market this stuff. Pick a lane and come back to us,'" he says. "That was disgusting to me, because I'm not trying to be a circus act." A defiant Mars says he didn't allow himself get boxed in to any one genre during the recoding of the album. "I listen to a lot of music," he says, "and I want to have the freedom and luxury to walk into a studio and say, 'Today I want to do a hip-hop, R&B, soul or rock record.'" Released in October 2010, "Doo-Wops & Hooligans" debuted and peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and spawned four Hot 100 hits: "Just the Way You Are" (No. 1), "Grenade" (No. 1), "The Lazy Song" (No. 4) and "Marry You" (No. 85). The album has sold 1.7 million in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan. His other top 10s include "It Will Rain" (No. 4) from the "Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 1" soundtrack, and he was a featured artist on B.o.B's "Nothin' On You" (No. 1), Travie McCoy's "Billionaire" (No. 4), Bad Meets Evil's "Lighters" (No. 4) and Snoop Dogg & Wiz Khalifa's "Young, Wild & Free" (No. 7). "Unorthodox Jukebox" Song Titles (Album Sequence Not Confirmed) "Locked Out of Heaven" "Young Girls" "Gorilla" "When I Was Your Man" "Natalie" "Treasure" "Moonshine" "Money Makes Her Smile" "Show Me" "If I Knew" http://www.billboard.com/news#/news/bruno-mars-to-release-unorthodox-jukebox-1007962802.story |

I loved "Grenade" and "It Will Rain" was strong too. Just not feeling this one, but maybe it's a grower. |

Bruno Mars lands 5th Hot 100 #1 with When I Was Your Man Bruno Mars' "When I Was Your Man" advances 2-1 on the Billboard Hot 100, granting the pop singer/songwriter his fifth leading title. It also marks just the second No. 1 in the chart's more than five-decade history for a song featuring piano and vocals exclusively. ![]() With five No. 1s, Mars ranks behind only Michael Jackson (13); Stevie Wonder (10); Elton John, Paul McCartney, Usher (nine each); George Michael (eight); Phil Collins, Elvis Presley (seven each; Presley's career predates the Hot 100's Aug. 4, 1958, launch) for the most toppers among male soloists. Diddy, Ludacris, Prince and Lionel Richie also boast five No. 1s apiece. Incredibly, Mars has racked his first five Hot 100 No. 1s faster than any male since Elvis Presley. Mars' span since first arriving on the chart the week of Feb. 13, 2010, is just three years, two months and one week. Only the late Presley reached five leaders more quickly, over just two years, seven months and three weeks, from the chart's inception through March 25, 1961. As if company with the King isn't enough, Mars also notches just the second No. 1 in the Hot 100's archives featuring only piano and vocals. Adele first scored such a hit with "Someone Like You," which reigned for five weeks in late 2011. That ballad showcases Adele on vocals and Dan Wilson on piano. Mars sings and plays piano on "Man," which is the first ballad since "Someone" to command the Hot 100. "Man" moves to No. 1 on the Hot 100 with top Digital Gainer honors, jumping to the top of the Nielsen SoundScan-powered Digital Songs survey (4-1). It soars by 45% to 340,000 downloads sold to become his sixth No. 1 on Digital Songs (and passes 2 million sold to date). The song was sale priced in both the iTunes and Amazon MP3 stores last week for $0.69, down from the standard $1.29 price of most current hits. "Man" posts a third week atop the Nielsen BDS-based Radio Songs airplay chart (149 million in all-format audience, up 5%) and climbs 5-3 on Streaming Songs with a 7% increase to 4.9 million streams, according to BDS. (As previously reported, "Man" marks Mars' sixth No. 1 on the mainstream top 40-based Pop Songs airplay chart, the highest total among solo males.) |

NEW YORK (AP) — The mother of Grammy-winning pop star Bruno Mars has died in Hawaii. Bernadette Hernandez died Saturday of a brain aneurysm, according to a publicist for Mars' label, Atlantic Records, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the person was not authorized to speak on the record. Hernandez was 55 years old. She died in Honolulu at Queens Medical Center; no other information was given. Mars is one of pop's top acts with several No. 1 hits including his most recent, "When I Was Your Man." His mother, a hula dancer and a singer who immigrated from the Philippines, nurtured her son's interest in music at an early age.
