Every one of Bruno Mars’s albums has produced at least one enormous hit single, and most of his projects can claim several such smashes. The singer-songwriter returned earlier in 2026 with The Romantic, his first solo album in nearly a decade. Weeks before the collection dropped, Mars previewed the set with lead single “I Just Might.”
Expectedly, the first taste of a new era from one of the most successful songwriters in the business proved to be an earworm, and importantly, a radio favorite. Mars has moved on from “I Just Might” and has been promoting “Risk It All” as the second single from The Romantic, but Americans are still loving its predecessor. This week, “I Just Might” is once again the most successful tune on the American airwaves, and as it leads one specific Billboard chart again, the track advances on an all-time list of the longest-running leaders in radio history.
Bruno Mars Holds at No. 1 With “I Just Might”
“I Just Might” is steady at No. 1 on Billboard‘s Radio Songs chart. Mars’s cut has now dominated the list of the tunes that reach the largest total audience for an incredible 16 weeks. The tune has only spent five frames in any other position, and it could continue to reign for some time. So far, “I Just Might” has been able to block the competition – several hits from other artists, in fact.
“I Just Might” Ties Maroon 5, Mariah Carey and No Doubt
Now that “I Just Might” has spent 16 weeks atop the Radio Songs chart, Mars moves up on the list of the longest-ruling tracks of all time. “I Just Might” is now on the same level as No Doubt’s “Don’t Speak,” Mariah Carey’s “We Belong Together” and “Girls Like You,” a collaboration between Maroon 5 and Cardi B. Those four tracks are now jointly tied as the sixth-longest-running leaders of all time.
Bruno Mars Passes Adele’s Radio Record
Just last week, Mars was tied with Adele, but only for a few days. Now, “I Just Might” has passed her smash “Easy on Me,” which managed 15 frames on the Radio Songs chart’s throne.
“I Just Might” Could Advance Again Very Soon
Mars will have to hang on for another two periods before he ties any other hit. If “I Just Might” leads the charge again in a few days, he will push past No Doubt, Carey, Maroon 5 and Cardi, and sit alone in sixth place. Then, when “I Just Might” reaches its eighteenth frame ahead of every other track – if that turns out to be the case – he will match “Iris” by the Goo Goo Dolls and “Flowers” by Miley Cyrus. Those two hits spent 18 weeks running the Radio Songs chart a quarter-century apart from one another.
A pair of singles are tied for the longest run at No. 1 in the history of the Radio Songs tally. Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” and Alex Warren’s “Ordinary” held on for 27 frames only about a year apart from one another. The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights” once owned the distinction of being the most impressive ruler in the decades-long tenure of the rundown when it reached half a year, 26 weeks, in first place.
