Capitalizing on that momentum, Mars released the single “Just the Way You Are” in July 2010, the lead track from his debut album Doo-Wops & Hooligans. The single reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, firmly establishing him as a global pop sensation. The album, regarded as one of the year’s strongest debuts, also featured hits like “Grenade” and “The Lazy Song,” both of which charted in the Top 10. Following this success, he contributed the song “It Will Rain” to the soundtrack of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1, which also broke into the Top 10, marking one of his many chart-topping singles.

Unorthodox Jukebox and Global Stardom

His second studio album, Unorthodox Jukebox, released in 2012, continued his commercial success. The standout single “Locked Out of Heaven” spent six consecutive weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100 and charted in the Top 100 in over 20 countries. Mars’s ability to blend pop, funk, and rock influences helped solidify his status as a versatile global artist.

That same year, he received 29 award nominations and won nine major honors, including International Album of the Year at the JUNO Awards, International Male Solo Artist at the Brit Awards, International Artist of the Year at the NRJ Music Awards, and Best Pop Vocal Album at the Grammy Awards.
