Released in 2010, the song was the beginning of Mars' rise to fame. It topped the Billboard Hot 100 and won a Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance. To this day, it continues to be streamed on digital streaming, a testament to its enduring appeal.
At the same time, Bruno's other songs also received new RIAA certifications. “Lazy Song” achieved Diamond status (10x Platinum). As a result, Mars tied with Rihanna and The Weeknd as the artist with the third most Diamond-certified singles in history.
