Bruno Mars is currently the most popular performer in the world

News over morning coffee. The world top performers on Spotify-I decode-on the "largest streaming platform in the world"-have been updated: Bruno Mars came first, pushing Taylor Swift and The Weeknd from the pedestal.

Surprisingly, the third is Lady Gaga. And it's here our universes collapse. They released a joint song in mid-August, and for quite a while, it was hanging on the first Billboard chart: [https://t.me/timasluxai/1379?single](https://t.me/timasluxai/1379?single)

Now she has almost 800M plays. I guess the hype around Joker also gave her some plays + she starts to roll out her new album.

Bruno Mars-what about him? Firstly, he broke the record for the most monthly listeners in Spotify: 120.9 million. Secondly, all this happened due to the feats. The very same collab with Gaga and a collab with Rose from the k-pop BLACKPINK group.

Conclusions: 1) make more features, 2) k-pop is the engine of the music business and 3) wear a virgin mustache like Bruno Mars. Third one is optional.
