New Music and Streaming Milestones

The quip came when the singer shared his new song “Fat Juicy & Wet” with a rapper last week, accompanied by a music video featuring Lady Gaga and Blackpink’s Rosé.

He released the track after teasing the collaboration just a few days ago, referring to it as the upcoming “anthem striptease”.

Now, as the track climbs the charts and accumulates significant numbers on streaming platforms, Mars has reached another major milestone—becoming the first artist to achieve 150 million monthly listeners on Spotify.

In light of this news, he took to Instagram Stories to humorously reference past rumors about his supposed financial troubles in Las Vegas. “Continue to broadcast! I will not go on credit,” he stated.

Clarification on Financial Matters

This commentary revisits the situation from last year when MGM Grand denied claims that Mars owed the casino $50 million (39 million pounds).

Amidst his ninth year of performing there, a “well-placed Vegas Insider” stated that Mars “owed millions” due to gambling. They also noted that the artist earned $90 million from a casino deal, but after settling his debts and taxes, he reportedly takes home $1.5 million per night.

In response to the speculation, an MGM representative said: “We are proud of our relationship with Bruno Mars, one of the most exciting and dynamic performers in the world. From his show in Dolby Live at Park MGM to the new Pinky Ring lounge at Bellagio, the Bruno entertainment brand attracts visitors from around the globe.”

“MGM and Bruno’s partnership is long-standing and based on mutual respect. Any assumptions otherwise are completely false; he has no debt with MGM. We look forward to continuing to create unforgettable experiences for our guests.”

At the time of writing, “Fat Juicy & Wet” sits at 48th place on the Billboard 200 charts and has garnered over 10 million streams on Spotify.

In other news, Bruno Mars confirmed additional dates for his ongoing residency in Las Vegas. The singer is set to perform seven more shows at Dolby Live in Park MGM in May and June, extending his long-standing engagement in the city, which commenced in 2016.

Other popular tracks he recently released include his collaboration with Lady Gaga, “Die with a Smile”, which recently hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in its third week, and his partnership with Pink, “Successful,” which landed at 14th place on NME’s list of the 50 best songs of 2024.
