Bruno Mars Risk It All Reaches No. 1 on Two Radio Charts

Bruno Mars Risk It All has reached the top of two major radio rankings, giving the singer another marker in a career built on durable crossover records. The single rises to No. 1 on Billboard’s all-format Radio Songs chart and also takes over Pop Airplay. Its ascent comes roughly four months after entering the radio race, a steady climb that reflects sustained audience reach rather than a brief first-week spike.

A new chart analysis from Forbes reports that “Risk It All” becomes Mars’ 12th Radio Songs leader. That moves him ahead of Mariah Carey’s 11 and leaves him one behind Rihanna’s record 13 No. 1s on the ranking. The song also becomes his 13th No. 1 on Pop Airplay, adding another measure of how consistently his R&B and pop records travel across formats.

The milestone is more striking because Mars already has another current hit performing near the top. “I Just Might,” the first single from The Romantic, remains inside the Radio Songs top five after a long run. Together, the two records show that the album cycle is producing simultaneous demand instead of forcing one single to disappear before the next can peak.

For R&B listeners, the numbers underline Mars’ ability to package classic songwriting instincts for contemporary radio. “Risk It All” follows the polished live-band energy associated with his recent work while keeping the hook direct enough for multiple formats. Radio Songs measures total audience across monitored stations, so reaching No. 1 there requires support beyond any single genre lane.

Bruno Mars Risk It All now joins “Leave the Door Open,” “That’s What I Like,” “Finesse” and other Mars records that have topped the same all-format chart. The next benchmark is clear: another leader would tie Rihanna’s record. Follow the chart movement and the R&B releases behind it on Power1047.com’s PowerPage throughout the week.
