Not just that, he has far more talent, he is the thruth! Not some interchangeable autotune male pop singer. He's not trying to be a "I dance like MJ" type of artist, he's just Bruno or Pete Gene Hermandez.

Yes it was at the time his album just got released in the US and he opened with slightly more than 50k and people were so quick to write him off. Now here he is, battling out with big names and claiming the #1 spot.

Mars hits back with Grenade after Adele assault
10:35 | Monday January 24, 2011
Trailing in initial midweek sales flashes, Bruno Mars' Grenade detonated a further 109,960 sales last week to hold off Adele and spend a second week at the top of the UK singles chart.
The introductory single from Adele’s second album 21, which was released today, Rolling In The Deep is her second number two hit, taking the position three years to the week after Chasing Pavements did the same. Chasing Pavements hung on for three weeks at number two, all of them behind Basshunter’s Now You’re Gone. Its first-week sales were a comparatively modest 28,620, little more than a third of the 82,975 copies that Rolling In The Deep sold last week. Adele was one of four female solo artists in the Top 10 that week, the others being Robyn, Rihanna and Britney Spears. She is also one of four this week and, although Robyn has been replaced by Jessie J, both Rihanna and Britney Spears are in contention with their latest singles.
New at number one in America, where it sold more than 411,000 copies last week, Spears’ Hold It Against Me debuts here at number six (38,779 sales). While that suggests Spears is bigger in America, Hold It Against Me is her 21st Top 10 hit, and only her ninth in America. Spears’ label Jive claims Hold It Against Me is number one in 19 other countries, though its list includes Ireland (where it is actually number five) and France (number three), and seems to be based on initial iTunes rankings rather than anything else.
As luck would have it, Spears’ single’s release coincided with the UK screening of the Spears tribute episode of Glee. Six songs from the episode, entitled Britney/Brittany pour into the Top 200 this week. There are covers of the Spears hits Toxic (number 40, 7,614 sales), I’m A Slave 4 U (number 97, 3,008 sales), ...Baby One More Time (number 104, 2,776 sales), Me Against The Music (number 110, 2,534 sales) and Stronger (126, 2,092 sales). The only exception is The Only Exception, a cover of Paramore’s 2010 hit, which debuts at number 45 (6,441 sales), while generating enough interest in the original for it to re-emerge at number 52 (5,909 sales). Spears’ compilation The Singles Collection is also resurgent, its sales increasing 466.10% week-on-week to 3,561, enough for it to re-enter the album chart at number 47. That is its highest-chart placing since it debuted at number 38 in December 2009. Its career sales rise to 77,947.
In addition to the new Adele and Britney Spears hits, three other songs debut inside the Top 10 this week. Diddy racks up his 29th hit with Coming Home (number four, 49,986 sales), which is credited to Diddy – Dirty Money feat. Skylar; UK grime act Wrench 32 feat. L makes his chart debut with Traktor (number five, 41,665 sales); and Anglo/Brazilian Aggro Santos secures his third hit, debuting at number eight (29,133 sales) with Like U Like. Santos’ debut hit Candy was a number five hit last year, with vocals from former Pussycat Doll Kimberly Wyatt, while Like U Like features Girls Aloud’s Kimberley Walsh. It’s the first time that half of the Top 10 has comprised new entries for 25 weeks.
Despite the new influx, singles sales dip 2.02% week-on-week to 3,145,937 - 3.86% above same week 2010 sales of 3,029,142.

Do-Wops helps Mars to UK chart double
10:17 | Monday January 24, 2011
Bruno Mars has become the first US male solo act since Meat Loaf in 1993 simultaneously to top the UK singles and albums charts after his debut album Do-Wops & Hooligans enters at one and Grenade holds off a robust challenge from Adele's new single.
Grenade and Mars’ introductory solo single Just The Way You Are (Amazing) helped to stoke up demand for Doo Wops & Hooligans, which previously sold more than 7,000 copies as an import, charting as high as number 79. Its belated domestic release precipitated sales of 86,243 copies last week and delivered Warner Music’s Elektra label its first number one album since 2001, when Staind’s Break The Cycle topped the list. Although UK consumers had to wait 15 weeks longer than most for Doo-Wops & Hooligans, they have delivered the album’s first number one placing to date – it peaked at number two in New Zealand and Canada, and at number three in The USA and Australia - along with Ireland, where it re-enters the chart at number one this week.
Mars’ sky-high start is enough to end Rihanna’s three-week run at number one with Loud, which dips to number two (36,133 sales) and also prevents White Lies from securing their second number one album. Released two years ago this week, White Lies’ debut album To Lose My Life took advantage of a soft January market to debut at number one on sales of 28,916 copies. Despite the success of the album – which has thus far sold 189,717 copies – none of its three singles managed to dent the Top 30. Follow-up Ritual’s introductory single, Bigger Than Us, has not set the chart on fire either, debuting at number 42 a fortnight ago and rebounding 62-54 (5,742 sales) in the current chart but Ritual itself is off to an excellent start, with sales of 29,621 copies - 2.44% more than To Lose My Life’s first frame, though it has to settle for a less lofty number three debut.
Working in the same folk/rock hinterland as Mumford & Sons but in a somewhat different style, American band The Decemberists' latest album The King Is Dead secures them their major breakthrough. Of five previous albums, only the most recent – 2009’s The Hazards Of Love – charted and even that peaked at number 50. The King Is Dead debuts at number 24 this week (7,641 sales) – and the news from America is even better, with the album on schedule to debut at number one later this week.
Veteran rockers Motorhead and Magnum both return to the chart with new albums this week – and for both bands it is the fifth decade in a row in which they have charted.
Motorhead snare a number 45 debut (3,626 sales) with The World Is Yours. It is their 19th chart album since their 1977 debut. Magnum first charted in 1978 and made the chart in the 2000s only with the 2007 set Princess Alice & The Broken Arrow, which reached number 70. Their 13th chart album The Visitation improves on that, debuting at number 55 (3,073 sales). Motorhead are an Anglo/Swedish trio these days, with an average age of 54, with only Lemmy (65) left from their original incarnation. With two original members in its line-up Magnum is a quintet with an average age of 56.
Other debuts this week are Anna Calvi’s self-titled set (number 40, 3,820 sales) and Pearl Jam’s Live On Ten Legs (number 49, 3,462 sales). Although the latter album is only the second live set from Pearl Jam to chart – beating the similarly title Live On Two Legs (number 68, 1998) – they hold the record for releasing more live albums than any other band, with a staggering total of 322 thus far, including 315 ‘official bootlegs’.
Topping the compilation chart for the 10th week in a row, Now That’s What I Call Music! 77 sold a further 14,808 copies last week, lifting its career sales to 1,256,556.
Overall album sales dipped by 4.18% week-on-week to 1,823,183 - 3.68% below same week 2010 sales of 1,892,908. It is the fifth week in a row they have declined.

The Bolded releases are those that are repressed,
The only exception is Jessie J. I think this is how she is going to do all her releases , she supports the on air/on sale concept hence 'Price tag' is going to get added by stations from monday.
All of the lights is going to smash sooooo harrddd

Bruno got 86K from the UK + around 30K from the US i think, so if it sold more than 20K copies in the rest of the world, Rihanna might be dethroned on the ww chart
