AceShowbiz - Bruno Mars has achieved a new milestone as his latest single, I Just Might, skyrockets to the top of Billboard’s Rhythmic Airplay chart. This marks the 14th time the genre-blending artist has claimed the No. 1 spot on this influential radio airplay ranking.

The track made a significant leap from No. 3 to No. 1 on the chart dated February 21, becoming the most-played song on rhythmic radio stations across the U.S. during the tracking week of February 6-12, according to data from Luminate. This rapid ascent highlights the song’s growing popularity among listeners nationwide.

I Just Might, released under Atlantic Records, dethroned labelmate Cardi B’s hit Errtime, which held the No. 1 position for two weeks. Beyond their solo successes, Bruno Mars and Cardi B have previously collaborated on two Rhythmic Airplay chart-toppers: Finesse, which led for two weeks in February 2018, and Please Me, which reigned for one week in April 2019.

During its debut week at No. 1, I Just Might saw a 15% increase in radio plays compared to the previous week, emphasizing its momentum. Notably, the song reached the chart’s summit in just five weeks, making it the quickest No. 1 for Bruno Mars to date. His previous record-holder, Finesse, took six weeks to climb to the top.

With this achievement, Bruno Mars moves ahead of Lil Wayne and Usher, securing fifth place for the most Rhythmic Airplay No. 1s since the chart’s inception in October 1992. Leading the pack is Drake with an impressive 43 No. 1s, followed by Rihanna (17), The Weeknd (16), and Chris Brown (15).
