After a decade-long gap between solo studio albums, Bruno Mars has unveiled the tracklist for his fourth LP, The Romantic, due Feb. 27.

The nine-song set marks his first solo release since 2016’s 24K Magic. Mars revealed the full lineup Monday (Feb. 16), confirming that the album will be led by “I Just Might,” which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 — his first career No. 1 debut and his 10th Hot 100 chart-topper overall.


The album arrives during a sustained period of chart momentum for Mars. His collaboration with Lady Gaga, “Die With a Smile,” topped the Billboard Global 200 for 18 weeks and earned a Grammy Award.

Meanwhile, “APT.” with ROSÉ spent 19 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart and 12 weeks atop the Global 200. The track was named IFPI’s biggest-selling global single of 2025 and Apple Music’s most-streamed song globally for the year.

In January 2025, Mars became the first artist in Spotify history to surpass 150 million monthly listeners. He also became the first artist to earn six RIAA Diamond-certified singles in 2022. As of 2026, he holds at least seven Diamond certifications, including “Just the Way You Are,” which is certified 21-times Platinum and ranks as the highest-certified song in RIAA history.

Other Diamond-certified hits include “Uptown Funk” (with Mark Ronson), “Grenade,” “That’s What I Like,” “Locked Out of Heaven,” “When I Was Your Man” and “The Lazy Song.”

Mars has scored 35 Billboard Hot 100 entries, including 10 No. 1 hits. His debut album, Doo-Wops & Hooligans, has logged more than 345 weeks on the Billboard 200 and remains the longest-running studio album by a solo male artist on the chart.

William Shatner To Go Where He’s Never Gone Before on Heavy Metal Album Featuring Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden Covers

The 94-year-old TV icon teased that the untitled LP will feature 35 "metal virtuosos."

Forget about second acts in American life, TV legend William Shatner is up to his fourth, maybe 10th act at this point. The 94-year-old actor best known for playing the irascible James T. Kirk on the original Star Trek series and movies, as well as police sergeant T.J. Hooker in the 1980s is boldly going where even he hasn’t gone before.

In an Instagram post on Thursday (Feb. 19), the mutli-hyphenate performer who made his musical debut in 1968 with the beyond bizarre The Transformed Man LP featuring his florid readings of The Beatles’ “Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds” and Elton John’s “Rocket Man,” announced that he’s prepping his first heavy metal album at an age where metal typically goes into your body rather than comes out.
