Bruno Mars shoots straight to no.1 with new single 'Grenade'

Pop sensation Bruno Mars has had quite a week and there is even more to come! He released his second single 'Grenade' last Sunday, which shot straight to No. 1 in the official UK singles chart last night, selling a staggering 150,000 copies in its first week; 3 times the number of copies the no.2 single sold.

Bruno, who is in the UK this week to launch his debut album 'Doo-Wops & Hooligans', told the Radio 1 Chart Show last night about his love for this country.

'[It's] such a special place for me, I just love it out here. I think the people are great.' He also hinted that we might be getting him on a more permanent basis, saying 't's just this is where it's at for me. I'm getting a house over here; I know it. That's the next investment.'

Bruno finished off with a message to all of his fans this side of the Atlantic. ' would love to thank all the UK fans, thank you guys so much for supporting my career and everything that I'm doing.'
