Bruno Mars this week becomes the first male artist to top the 4 million mark in digital sales with four different songs (as a lead artist). He achieves the feat as "When I Was Your Man" tops the 4 million mark, a plateau earlier reached by "Just The Way You Are" (5,991,000), "Grenade" (5,701,000) and "Locked Out Of Heaven" (4,366,000). T.I. has topped the 4 million mark with four songs, but he was the lead artist on only two of them: "Live Your Life" (4,557,000) and "Whatever You Like" (4,401,000). He was the featured artist on Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" (6,168,000) and Justin Timberlake's "SexyBack" (4,347,000). "When I Was Your Man" topped the Hot 100 earlier this year.
The first male ever, he's slaying. I always thought Eminem had it as a lead artist.
