Grammy-winning singer Bruno Mars has broken the previous record with 120,862,858 monthly Spotify listeners. 

Bruno Mars' most recent achievement comes after his recent hits "Die With A Smile" featuring Lady Gaga and his cameo on Rose's "APT."

His first singles since working with Anderson are these: 'An Evening With The Silk Sonic', which won Grammy Album of the Year in 2021, for Paak.

The Weeknd's previous record of 120 million Spotify monthly listeners has already been eclipsed by Bruno Mars. 

Before smashing his record with a staggering 120 million listeners, Canadian sensation, The Weeknd, was the first artiste to exceed 100 million monthly listeners.

Bruno Mars is one of the biggest pop stars in the world, and his record-breaking performance is proof of that.

One of the most commercially successful musicians of the 21st century, his music has sold millions of copies.

With 14 songs that have received over a billion Spotify plays, Bruno Mars has amassed over 36 billion, putting him within striking distance of the record shared by Canadian megastars Drake and Justin Bieber.

The singer is among the most honored Popstars in the history of the Recording Academy, having received 15 Grammys out of 31 nominations
