Mark Ronson & Bruno Mars Earn Their First No. 1 on Adult R&B Songs

Even though “Uptown Funk!” has slipped out of the No. 1 slot on the Billboard Hot 100 (after a historic 14 weeks), the song continues to notch new chart feats. Mark Ronson’s track, which features Bruno Mars, steps 2-1 on Adult R&B Songs to score each artist their first No. 1 on the airplay chart. A three percent gain in plays at the format pushes the track to the top, following a steady 12-week climb, according to Nielsen Music. The rise knocks Kem’s “Nobody” to No. 2, after a nine-week No. 1 run.

On-air, WWMG Montgomery, AL and WHEN-AM Syracuse, NY led equally in spins for “Uptown,” each playing the song 54 times during the tracking week ending April 12.
