Bruno Mars Hits #1 On The Singles Charts

By Michael Lopez

Never let a mug shot get you down. After a much publicized arrest, Bruno Mars is making news again, this time by holding down the #1 single on Billboard's Hot 100 Chart. His "Just The Way You Are" booted Katy Perry’s "Teenage Dream" from the top slot, proving itself to be one of the first big hits of fall.

Now the interesting question is, did his Las Vegas bust help give the track some leverage? It was already at #3 when he got booked earlier in the week, but there’s no denying that Bruno Mars web searches have gone through the roof since then.

Bruno (whose real name is Peter Hernandez) still hasn’t addressed the issue on Twitter, but did give a shout out to “Glee” for covering one of his tracks in their season premiere.

“You know you're doing something right when Glee Covers your song... Great Job guys Thank you!!”

We think Mars can easily put the negative stuff behind him as long as he stays focused. Thankfully the charges were a first time offense (unlike another recently busted celeb) and he’s still keeping up with all of his live appearances. The real test of his staying power will come on October 5, when his debut album, Doo-Woops & Hooligans, is released. Looking forward to hearing it, Bruno!
