While terms of the acquisition are not known, sources say that Mars' lawyer Scott Felcher shopped the deal. Mars, as part of The Smeezingtons, probably also got some publishing points on songs they wrote and produced for other artists, but Billboard was unable to determine if Mars' share of that income stream was also part of the deal. Since the release of music from Silk Sonic occurred after the Warner Chappell acquisition, its unlikely that any music he writes for that project is part of the deal.
While Mars has a sought-after song catalog, some potential suitors likely sat out the bidding because as a current artist, the catalog probably has hit songs still going through the decay cycle, i. Buyers prefer deals on songs that are in the catalog stage -- thus no longer in the hit stage of a song's life cycle -- because the income track record of catalog songs allows suitors to better predict what streaming and other income-producing activity the songs will produce every year.
This allows buyers to project realistic revenues that are needed to assess the financial viability of catalog acquisitions. In deals involving hits, asset buyers generally don't like paying high multiples on catalogs with a lot of current hit songs, typically valuing such assets at a time multiple as opposed to the times and even higher multiples that iconic hit songs are selling for nowadays.

Despite only releasing 3 studio albums so far and debuting during a time when digital sales had already pretty much overtaken physical albums, Bruno Mars is already up to With an average of 5.
It debuted at 3 in the US with only 55k copies sold. His sophomore effort, Unorthodox Jukebox , also sold 2. It remains his best-selling effort in France, becoming one of the few international albums in recent years to score a Diamond certification.
Still, 2. As a reminder, the weighting is done with a 10 to 3 ratio between one album and one physical single. International stars sold virtually no physical singles in Japan so it is all down to Germany which remained somewhat relevant there with 4,3 million CDs sold in As a reminder, the weighting is done with a 10 to 1,5 ratio between one album and one digital single.
It is hard to find a list of singles from one artist which is so packed with gigantic hits. What about the hits then? As many as 7 songs topped that threshold with only two eras, an immense result. It was also strong by standards in the ringtones segment with , sales in the US alone.
Grenade sold similar amounts in English-speaking countries, although it was 2 million short in South Korea. Ironically, the top selling song from this album in this latter country is neither of the aforementioned songs. That accolade goes to Marry You which is now up to 2,85 million sales there. They combined for 1,5 million sales in the UK. The latter along with Treasure sold around 1,5 million copies in South Korea. I could continue to wax lyrical for a while.

It still sold absurd numbers. The song is up to 7,85 million downloads in the US while currently crossing 2 million in South Korea. It sold well over , copies in each of Australia and Canada and more than twice as much in the UK. Uptown Funk is quite simply the biggest selling song since it came out, a record that looks unlikely to be beaten now.
All those songs push the total of Bruno Mars to nearly million. Not bad for someone who has a personal catalog of just under 45 songs.
