Some are streaming-only successes, while others sell well enough to appear on multiple tallies built around purchases. One cut \u2013 one of the most successful of his career \u2013 even lives on the main songs ranking, which combines sales and streams, despite failing to appear on a list dedicated solely to either metric.<\/p>\n<p>Amazingly, all four of the singer-songwriter\u2019s current wins come from different eras. Two older favorites return to the only lists where they can be found, while \u201cI Just Might,\u201d the lead single from The Romantic, remains his most widespread hit at the moment.<\/p>\n<p>Bruno Mars Makes \u201cCount On Me\u201d A Bestseller Again<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6k8cpUkKK4c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6k8cpUkKK4c\" aria-label=\"\u201cCount on Me,\u201d\">\u201cCount on Me,\u201d<\/a> the final single from Mars\u2019s debut album, Doo-Wops &amp; Hooligans, returns to both the <a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.officialcharts.com\/charts\/singles-sales-chart\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.officialcharts.com\/charts\/singles-sales-chart\/\" aria-label=\"Official Singles Sales\">Official Singles Sales<\/a> and <a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.officialcharts.com\/charts\/singles-downloads-chart\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.officialcharts.com\/charts\/singles-downloads-chart\/\" aria-label=\"Official Singles Downloads charts\">Official Singles Downloads charts<\/a> this week. The tune reappears on those rosters at Nos. 83 and 77, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>The former single has never managed to crack the top 40 on either ranking, though it did come close. \u201cCount on Me\u201d peaked at No. 47 on the more encompassing sales chart and climbed one space higher, to No. 46, on the downloads-only tally.<\/p>\n<p>This week marks the song\u2019s first appearance on either list in two years.

The ranking measures the songs earning the most streams throughout the United Kindgom. \u201cApt.\u201d has now spent 84 weeks on the tally, making it Mars\u2019s third-longest-charting hit.<\/p>\n<p>Only \u201cUptown Funk,\u201d his collaboration with Mark Ronson, and \u201cDie With a Smile\u201d with Lady Gaga have lasted longer.
