He is going to need a good follow up, it's really strange how such big hit is carrying so few albums. The album is high on the billboard chart but not due to sales

The album is high on the billboard chart but not due to sales This is because it isn't an album of just Bruno Mars songs with mark. The streams sales and AirPlay for uptown funk are massive . It's almost like a Calvin Harris or David guetta situation , just this ended up being much bigger of a hit

Bruno Mars Scores Longest Hot 100 Reign Mark Ronson's "Uptown Funk!," featuring Bruno Mars, tops the Billboard Hot 100 for a seventh week, granting Mars his longest command (among his six No. 1s).
As "Funk!," released on RCA Records, tops the Hot 100 for a seventh week, it passes Mars' "Locked Out of Heaven" for his longest reign. Here's an updated look at his six No. 1s, ranked by lengthiest stays at the summit:
7 weeks, "Uptown Funk!," Mark Ronson featuring Mars, 2015 6 weeks, "Locked Out of Heaven," 2012-13 4 weeks, "Grenade," 2011 4 weeks, "Just the Way You Are," 2010 2 weeks, "Nothin' On You," B.o.B featuring Mars, 2010 1 week, "When I Was Your Man," 2013
"Funk" leads Streaming Songs (18.2 million U.S. streams, up 2 percent, according to Nielsen Music) and the subscription services-based On-Demand Songs (5.5 million, up 1 percent) for a fifth week each. It tops Radio Songs for a fourth week with a 3 percent lift to 181 million in all-format audience.
On Digital Songs, "Funk" falls 1-2 after seven weeks on top with 301,000 downloads sold (down 6 percent) in the week ending Feb. 15. The track has sold at least 300,000 for seven consecutive weeks, marking the best such run since Pharrell Williams' "Happy" (the Hot 100's No. 1 song of last year) also racked seven straight weeks of sales of 300,000 or more (March 1-April 12, 2014). Those are the longest such streaks since Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines," featuring Pharrell and T.I., linked a record 10 weeks in a row of selling at least 300,000 in 2013. SALES:UPTOWN FUNK!: 3.823k (+301K)

Nice to see this having continued success. Glad it kept Ed Sheeran out of No. 1, that song is pure dreck.

What could possibly dethrone this right now? On the Hot 100, I mean. WELL, TOL has very slim chances of sneaking for a week on top, I used to think Style had a chance, but not anymore... Maybe Ellie? A few weeks from now since UF's lead in airplay is just huuuge, it's very consistent in sales and streaming... Of course if the movie hype doesn't die down till then This entire situation is just beyond amusing to me. Dropping an unstoppable, monstrous single and disappearing again sounds like sth Bruno would do.

Not only will this be Bruno's signature song from here on out, but this will go down as a modern classic like Rolling in the Deep. Definitely one of the biggest songs of the decade.

He has a gift for creating instant classics. I just love how him and Mark became really close over the years. It's really a creative dream team.
One more thing that I noticed just now is that all he does since he debuted is growing... He went from x2 wks reigning single to +7 wks #1 single within 5 yrs...

Billboard: Mark Ronson & Bruno Mars Top Hot 100 Again "Funk!," released on RCA Records, leads Streaming Songs (19.8 million U.S. streams, up 9 percent, according to Nielsen Music) and the subscription services-based On-Demand Songs (5.4 million, down 1 percent) for a sixth week each.
On Radio Songs, "Funk" reigns for a fifth week with a 3 percent lift to 187 million in all-format audience. In the airplay chart's 24-year history, only eight songs have posted higher audience totals, led by Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines," featuring T.I. and Pharrell, which peaked with 228.9 million on the Aug. 31, 2013, tally.
Billboard Cover: Mark Ronson on His Surprise No. 1 Hit, Amy Winehouse and His Neurotic Ways
"Funk" returns to the top of the Digital Songs chart (2-1) for an eighth cumulative week on top with 257,000 downloads sold (down 14 percent) in the week ending Feb. 22. Ronson and Mars' collab crowns the Hot 100 and its three main component charts (Digital Songs, Radio Songs and Streaming Songs) simultaneously for a record fourth week (non-consecutively). The only other song to quadruple up at No. 1 for even two weeks: Meghan Trainor's "All About That Bass" last year.SALES:UPTOWN FUNK!: 4.080k (+257K)

Single of the year at the BRITs. GREAT. That's what I've heard. Mark was in LA these past few weeks. He flew to UK to attend the Brits. It was worth it.

Unless something new blows up in the next 2 months, I see this potentially challenging One Sweet Day's record on the Hot 100. It's showing zero signs of budging from the top with nothing really hot on its heels.

Not burned out on this, but I really am ready for something else to hit #1 now... Oh well. This song is definitely a great and catchy song that deserves a lengthy stay at the pennacle of the Hot 100.

I'm honestly surprised at how well this has held up for me considering how long it's been dominating.
Wouldn't be opposed to a new #1 soon though

Ellie can't even outsell it w the movie hype, has a half of its streams + has 134m to overcome so she's not gonna be a threat anytime soon. Also Ed is far behind in streaming 6.5 million GAP, while HE got like 3 million stream boost from the Grammy + Ellen performances, so it could be really to much to handle. As far as radio goes... UF! has still a lot of room for growth on AC/URBAN AC/URBAN. it's getting amazing callout scores... + the fact that Bruno wisely doesn't announce anything is also helping UF!, imo.

Nah, Ed is posing a way bigger threat than Ellie, and as Billboard highlighted, that's still not a very big threat to this at all. Nothing is overtaking it for at least another month. The best bet of what will replace it is a hot new song that's not out yet.

#1 at Pop, Rhythmic and now Adult Pop radio on Billboard. www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/6487594/chart-highlights-mark-ronson-bruno-mars-top-adult-pop-songs-nateAdult Pop Songs *** No. 1 (1 week)*** "Uptown Funk!" Mark Ronson Featuring Bruno Mars As it leads Pop Songs for a sixth week and Rhythmic Songs for a fifth, Mark Ronson's "Uptown Funk!," featuring Bruno Mars, takes over atop Adult Pop Songs. It's Ronson's first No. 1 at the lattermost format (in his first visit) and Mars' third; he first led with "Just the Way You Are" for five weeks in 2010 and with "When I Was Your Man" for two frames in 2013. On Pop Songs, "Funk" passes "Grenade" (2011) and "Locked Out of Heaven" (2012-13) (five weeks each) for Mars' longest reign. "Funk" has led the Billboard Hot 100 for eight weeks running (also Mars' longest command).

It. Never. Stops...just imagine the recurrent airplay this is going to get? This will still be on the airwaves for years to come. Think 'Dynamite' by Taio Cruz or 'Yeah' by Usher.

This continues to surprise me at the way this stays at #1 and somehow still gaining at this point. UF is too massive.

The great thing is that since next Monday we could slowly start discussing which song UF! gonna tie with among the longest-reigning HOT 100 #1 hits of all time. Is it gonna be Happy? (10 wks), Hound Dog" / Don't Be Cruel? (11 wks), Yeah!? (12 wks) or if it's gonna last even longer?

Billboard: Will 'Uptown Funk!' Be the Hot 100's No. 1 Song of 2015?
With an array of honors - including global - for Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars' smash, has the race for the year's top hit already been won?
To recap: "Funk" has become Mars' longest-reigning Hot 100 and Pop Songs No. 1 and this week takes the top spot on the Adult Pop Songs chart. As reported last week, "Funk" led Radio Songs for a fifth week with 187 million in all-format audience (up 3 percent), according to Nielsen Music; in the airplay list's 24-year history, only eight songs have posted higher audience totals. And, as noted the week before, "Funk!" sold at least 300,000 downloads for eight consecutive weeks, marking the best such run since Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines," featuring Pharrell and T.I., linked a record 10 weeks in a row of selling at least 300,000 in 2013.
With all that "Funk" has accomplished so far, it becomes easier to foretell what might still be in the song's future. Specifically? There's a really, really good chance that, by year's end, "Uptown Funk!" will be the Hot 100's No. 1 song of 2015. I know it's only March 3, and we've yet to see more than a handful of days in the U.S. warmer than, say, 35 degrees (in the Northeast, anyway, where around 25 degrees with no wind has become a treat), but the race might already be over.
Why? The song has racked airplay and sales stats matched by few others historically. It's also led the Streaming Songs chart for eight weeks, including notching its second-best week (19.8 million U.S. streams) last week. That its streams and airplay are still on the rise means that, despite its already lengthy Hot 100 reign, there appears to be more upswing left in the smash's metrics.
Another key element in favor of "Funk!"? The calendar. The track has spent all but its first week on the Hot 100 in the tally's 2015 chart year, having debuted at No. 65 on Nov. 29; it shot to No. 18 on Dec. 6, the first week of the 2015 chart calendar. So, almost all its cumulative chart points through the end of the chart year will contribute to its year-end rank. Simple timing, then, gives "Funk" a significant head start over any summer smash that awaits (when temperatures in these parts might actually crack 50, not to jinx anything).
The song also boasts another key trait: four of the last five year-end Hot 100 No. 1s, with Williams being the exception, have belonged to newcomers or relative rookies ... and Ronson is enjoying his first Hot 100 visit, even if Mars is, by now, a chart vet. This decade, acts like Ke$ha, Adele, Gotye and Macklemore & Lewis have soared in with eventual No. 1 smashes, and that exciting spark of newness, along with unquestionable hits, has surely contributed to their songs' success.
There's still plenty of time left in 2015, but it's quite possible that "Uptown Funk!" has already wrapped up the top spot on the year-end Hot 100. I almost want to fast-forward to December to see if it does … but, I'd like to experience at least a few warm days, along with some surely other great songs and future No. 1s that we don't even yet know, first.
________________________________________________________
In February, Mark Ronson's "Uptown Funk!," featuring Bruno Mars, achieved an impressive feat regarding the Hot 100 and another chart not in the U.S.: it became just the fourth song since the birth of the Hot 100 in 1958 to have spent at least seven weeks at No. 1 on both the Hot 100 and the Official UK Singles chart. It's still No. 1 in the U.S., for eight (consecutive) weeks now, and was No. 1 for seven (non-consecutive) weeks in the UK.
Bryan Adams' "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You," 1991 (7 weeks U.S./16 UK) Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You," 1992-93 (14 weeks U.S./10 UK) Rihanna's "Umbrella," featuring Jay-Z, 2007 (7 weeks U.S./10 in UK)

Billboard: Mark Ronson & Bruno Mars No. 1 Again Mark Ronson's "Uptown Funk!," featuring Bruno Mars, tops the Billboard Hot 100 for a ninth week, while Pitbull and Ne-Yo's "Time of Our Lives" reaches the top 10, jumping 11-10.
As we do each Wednesday, let's run down the key numbers in the top 10 on the sales/airplay/streaming-based Hot 100.
"Funk!," released on RCA Records, logs a ninth week atop the Digital Songs chart with 240,000 downloads sold (down 7 percent) in the week ending March 1, according to Nielsen Music. It leads Streaming Songs (18.8 million U.S. streams, down 5 percent) and the subscription services-based On-Demand Songs (5.2 million, down 3 percent) for a seventh week each. On Radio Songs, "Funk" reigns for a fifth week with a 2 percent lift to 189.8 million in all-format audience.
Ronson and Mars' collab, thus, crowns the Hot 100 and its three main component charts (Digital Songs, Radio Songs and Streaming Songs) simultaneously for a record-extending fifth week (nonconsecutively).
Also, as reported in Tuesday's "Ask Billboard" reader mailbag, the song has joined an elite club globally: "Funk" is one of just four songs ever to lead the Hot 100 and the Official UK Singles chart for at least seven weeks each. (The others: Bryan Adams' "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You," 1991; Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You," 1992-93; and Rihanna's "Umbrella," featuring Jay Z, 2007.)
The continued command of "Funk!" on multiple Billboard airplay charts additionally contributes to a coup for RCA, as the label ties for the most concurrent No. 1 rankings, six, in a week, in the nearly 20 years that Billboard's nine currently-produced primary singular-format pop, rock and R&B/hip-hop airplay charts have coexisted. "Funk" crowns Pop Songs, Adult Pop Songs and Rhythmic Songs, while RCA boasts three other leaders this week: Walk the Moon's "Shut Up and Dance" tops Alternative Songs; Three Days Grace's "I Am Machine" rules Mainstream Rock Songs; and Usher's "I Don't Mind," featuring Juicy J, takes over atop Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop. SALES:UPTOWN FUNK!: 4.320k (+240K)
