The lead single, I Just Might, has climbed to No. 1 on Billboard’s Adult Pop Airplay chart, rising from No. 3 in a single frame. The chart, which tracks radio play among adult-leaning pop stations, represents one of the three key pop radio formats in the United States. The same track has also reached the summit of the more competitive Pop Airplay chart, underscoring its broad cross-format appeal.
With this latest achievement, Mars secures his fifth No. 1 on Adult Pop Airplay, placing him alongside Justin Bieber among solo male artists with the third-highest number of chart-toppers in the ranking’s history. Only Ed Sheeran and Shawn Mendes have amassed more leaders in that category.
The milestone further aligns Mars with major acts across genres, including Nickelback, while highlighting the continued dominance of Maroon 5 and Taylor Swift, who remain far ahead with 15 No. 1 hits each on the same chart.
Beyond Adult Pop Airplay, “I Just Might” delivers another major benchmark on the Pop Airplay tally, where Mars now claims his twelfth career No. 1. This pushes him ahead of peers such as Rihanna and Katy Perry, further solidifying his standing among the most consistent hitmakers in contemporary pop radio.
Meanwhile, the album’s follow-up single, Risk It All, is gaining momentum. After debuting at the bottom of the Adult Pop Airplay chart, the track has jumped more than 10 positions to reach a new peak, signaling growing traction as Mars transitions focus to the second phase of the album’s rollout.
Released just last week, The Romantic—Mars’ first solo studio album in nearly a decade—opened at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, driven in part by the global success of its lead single. As radio momentum builds across multiple tracks, industry observers are watching closely to see whether the project can sustain its early dominance and deliver yet another extended chart run for the Grammy-winning artist.
