Bruno Mars: Billboard Artist of the Year

Jukebox Hero: How did Bruno Mars become Billboard's Artist of the Year? He grabbed hold of the album and single charts and never let go.

 

It's a few days before the Grammy Award nominations are announced, and Bruno Mars is shaking off predictions with an easy laugh. Eventually, he'll score four noms-including record and song of the year for "Locked Out of Heaven" - but for the moment about all he wants to say is, "It's nice to get dressed up and take your lady out."

 

In part that's because right now Mars is processing another achievement: Billboard's top artist of the year for 2013. Kicked back on the arm of a gray sofa inside West Hollywood's Quixote Studios, the singer/songwriter/producer-wearing dark blue jeans, a red and black plaid shirt and black Vans, no socks-is also the first male to claim the title since 2008. As he thanks Billboard for the honor, the smiling Mars ruminates, "What makes you artist of the year? Can we throw 'best jump shot' in there?"

 

During a year defined by mainstream breakouts (Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Imagine Dragons), pop divas (Taylor Swift, P!nk, Rihanna, Katy Perry) and retro R&B (Justin Timberlake, Robin Thicke), Mars' artist of the year nod may come as a surprise. But as if on a stealth mission, the adventurous "Unorthodox Jukebox" commanded a steady presence on the Billboard 200 following its No. 2 debut last December. Remaining in the top 20 every week since then through the Sept. 14 issue, the Atlantic album hit No. 1 in its 12th week. To date, Unorthodox Jukebox has sold 1.8 million copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
