He is currently working on his next album, and if it goes anything like his last, Mars can expect the awards and dollars to keep rolling in.his yearly earnings according to Forbes:2015: $40 Million [mid-year] 2014: $60 Million 2013: $38 Million 2012: $15 Million 2011/10: $8 Million ~$161 Million in todal

According to Mystikal... Bruno is starting his own label soon. vegasseven.com/2015/08/12/mystikal-bouncin-back/Will you be working more with Ronson? Now that’s a horse of a different color. That deal is still being processed. … I’m doing [Strength in Numbers] in attempts to strengthen everything that me and Mark and Bruno ’bout to be spitting out. We’re really close to completing the deal and being the first artist on Bruno’s label. Whoa, wait, you’re gonna be on Bruno’s label? We’re at the table. Start the rumor! What’s his label called? I can’t disclose all that. I’m disclosing too much already.

2015's best-selling single is fewer than 1 million units away from a Diamond label.Mark Ronson’s smash “Uptown Funk (featuring Bruno Mars),” which is thus far the best-selling single of 2015, appears poised to eventually earn a diamond distinction.
As of July 24, 2015, it was within a million digital units of that mark.
The RIAA confirms that “Uptown Funk” earned a 9X platinum certification on that date. A 9X certification confirms a US unit total of at least 9 million; one unit is equal to a paid download or 100 streams.
In addition to earning the 9X platinum certification, “Funk” also received retroactive distinctions for reaching the 6x, 7x and 8x platinum thresholds.

Q: Have you been back in the studio with Bruno since, working on stuff for his album?
MARK RONSON: No, we haven’t. I’ve been on the road and he’s been hard working on his record and I’m sure whatever he does it’s gonna be great. Of course it’d be great to work together but I know even if he does it by himself, I mean, he’s that talented, he’s a really great arranger, musician, producer, songwriter. He’s pretty much the whole package. It’s really annoying.via DigitalSpy

Huh. He was great, but that's strange as hell given the number of stars (both young and old) the Super Bowl could use as a ratings draw.
Of course from Bruno's point of view, this is nothing but a win. He currently has no new material since 2014 other than UF, but the obvious solution is to drop an album between now and February and turn the halftime show into a 15-minute advertisement for it.

It's the 50th Super Bowl... They have to do something big. I wouldn't be surprised if they had more than one artist perform. I actually think we're going to see select past performers sharing the stage for a medley this year.

In his case leaks barely never turn out to be just rumors... especially when it comes from a reliable source. Last time it was LA Times that was the first publication to spread the news & no one believed it for a while. NFL was really impressed w/ his halftime and what he was doing BTS. He was fully involved in the entire process. So I could totally see them making him the one to curate the entire performance. I also think they low-key regret not waiting two more years to invite him so he could perform UF! @ SB.
