Bruno Mars just made history on the Billboard Charts, as his latest hit took over the No. 1 spot on the Mainstream Top 40 radio airplay chart, which is based on Nielsen Broadcast Data Systems. His new top hit, “When I Was Your Man,” is the first piano-and-vocal-only song to take over the number one spot on the Mainstream chart in its history.

It also gives Mars six No. 1 hits, which is the most in the 20-year history of the Mainstream chart, edging out Nelly and Justin Timberlake. Mars takes the top spot among top spot getters despite only being on the Mainstream Top 40 in the last three years. His other five No. 1’s are “Nothin’ On You,” “Just the Way You Are,” “Grenade,” “It Will Rain,” and “Locked Out of Heaven.”

Hear those songs and more as Bruno Mars and Fitz and The Tantrums swing through the mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions of the United States in late June and early July. Mars will hit Washington, D.C. on June 22nd, then swing up to Philadelphia, PA on June 24th. After that it’s another day off before appearing in Boston, MA on June 26th and in Uncasville, CT on June 27.

From there, Mars takes his show to the newest arena in the biggest city in the country, as he appears in New York City at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY on June 29th. For those who live on the other side of Manhattan, Mars will be at the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ on July 1st.

Mars is likely positioned for his best year in musical awards since 2011, when he took multiple awards for “Just the Way You Are,” including the Grammy for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance. Mars was also named the Favorite Pop/Rock Male Artist that year by the American Music Awards.

With two of the top hits of 2013 just a few months into the year, Mars is poised for big things so don’t miss out on the chance to see him as he comes to a town near you this summer. Get your tickets right away before they sell out!
