lot of girls put so much time into their appearance, and he tells them it’s not about the superficial stuff, but it’s about just the way you are. And that in itself is beautiful.
If you don’t feel like doing anything, Bruno Mars gets it! He captures every possible thing one can do on a lazy day, which made this song climb to number four on the United States Billboard Hot 100 chart.
9. Billionaire (Travie McCoy song)
This song was the world’s introduction to Bruno Mars, which basically warned the world to prepare for his arrival to the industry. People were more aware of Travie McCoy rather than Bruno Mars, but Mars definitely left a long-standing impression with his vocals in the song. The song is simply about wanting to be a billionaire, which is a nice metaphor for the beginning of his career, which highlighted his motivation to succeed in the industry. I need to ask, is he a billionaire yet?
I don’t care who you are or what you do, this song will grow on you and will quickly become one of your favorites in 2016. To be honest, this song really seems like he is speaking nonsense, but it somehow makes sense. It’s basically about him having a good time when he’s got money, I think… This single was his follow-up from his feature in Uptown Funk, so his team probably had a lot of pressure releasing a great one, but man oh man does it deliver. I don’t even know if people actually wear pinky rings, but that’s the first thing on this year’s Christmas list so I can put it to the moon, again, whatever that means.
And of course we cannot forget the once-in-a-lifetime honor to perform at the Superbowl in 2014! However, once-in-a-lifetime was not good enough for him! Coldplay invited him back as a guest appearance two years later during their halftime show. I think that is the ultimate “I made it” moment. In order to entertain an entire nation during halftime of the most watched thing on television, they have to pick someone everyone will know and enjoy.
His third album 24K Magic drops on November 18. Info researched and adapted from Wikipedia.
