I searched, and couldn't find a thread.
First single, "Just The Way You Are" is blowing up CHR and the Hot 100, currently peaked within the Top 20.
According to Amazon and FMQB, the title of the album is Doo-Wops & Hooligans.

I will definitely be purchasing this. I believe he has a bright future in this business. I'm interested to see what route he'll choose with this album or if he'll be indecisive. His sound is consistently more Pop/Rhythmic. The EP was good. Just can't wait to have my hands on a full-length album from him. I hope he shows different colors in his voice and explore different subject matters. I can see him being a huge breakout star.

I definitely think that he'll be a breakout star. I hope that his album is more than just songs like "Just The Way You Are." While that's a good song, it would get boring when heard 12 times in a row. His EP was very good, especially "The Other Side."

Yes. 'The Other Side' >>> 'Just The Way You Are'. I can already see myself stanning for him.  Has there been any recent news about this project? |

He is so refreshing in the Top 40 right now. I love what he brings to the table. I'm behind him, 100%.

We'll probably get a release date soon as JTWYA continues to get bigger.

Is Gypsy Love really the title of the album?

No idea. I'm going to wait for an official statement before changing the title. I heard that Lady Killer was supposed to be the title, but then I read that it was the title of Cee-Lo Green's new album.

How do you all think his album sales will perform?
Despite major radio and digital success, artists such as Mike Posner, Taio Cruz, Jason DeRulo and Jay Sean are seeing terrible album sales.
Could Mars follow the trend or will he be able to garner some album success?

He's totally different from them. He's more in the vein of a John Mayer in a sorts and he has some urban appeal. I think he can be very successful and it's clear Elektra has a good team behind him by getting his name out there on features.

I LOVE his older stuff. If it's anything like that, but maybe with a more mainstream twist, I would be happy. All About You is fantastic.

Could Mars follow the trend or will he be able to garner some album success? Mars is a cut above all those guys. His sound and style are very current yet he has a distinct voice and phrasing which make him much less generic. I predict his album sales will be much better than Derulo, jay sean or Posner because he definitely put his stamp on his songs, and he not only sells the song, he sells himself too. |

I hope he decides to add the song with D. Guetta to the album, "Her World Goes On". Great song.

FMQB and Amazon are both calling this Doo-Wops & Hooligans. Can't say I'm a huge fan of the title, but interested in the album.

Not a fan of the title, but it's hardly a big deal. I would've kept the name of the EP (It's Better If You Don't Understand) instead of Doo-Wops & Hooligan. As long as the material is good, it doesn't matter though.
I hope that "Runaway" and "Her World Goes On" make the album. The latter was especially good, it was produced by David Guetta.

From all his songs that have leaked, I'm wanting The First Time, Runaway, and Again/Who Is to make the album!
