"24K Magic" claimed the #1 slot on both the Top Digital Albums chart and the R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, and has been streamed more than 400 million times across audio and video partners so far. Mars' album and the lead single both simultaneously hit #1 on the iTunes Overall Albums and Overall Songs charts. "24K Magic" also climbed to #4 on the Billboard Hot 100, a new peak, and has officially been certified gold by the RIAA.

Mars recently revealed details behind his massive upcoming global 24K Magic World Tour that will kick off in Belgium on March 28 and will continue through Europe and North America, culminating with a four-night stand at The Forum in Los Angeles. Mars sold over 1 million tickets for his upcoming tour in a single day, according to Live Nation.

Prolific megastar Sting will perform "I Can't Stop Thinking About You," the first single from his latest album "57th and 9th," his first rock/pop project in over a decade. Riding a wave of inspiration, "57th & 9th" came together impulsively, with sessions completed in just a few weeks. Sting debuted "I Can't Stop Thinking About You" with a world premiere performance on the "Kevin and Bean Show" at KROQ-FM, which is Los Angeles' premiere alternative rock station. The album, produced by Martin Kierszenbaum, takes its title from the Manhattan street corner that Sting crossed each day as he walked to the studios in Hell's Kitchen where the recordings were done. Next year, Sting will take to the road on the 57th & 9th World Tour performing in clubs, theaters and arenas joined by Dominic Miller (guitar), Josh Freese (drums) and Rufus Miller (guitar).

In less than a week, the single amassed more than 17 million streams globally and 6.5 million streams in the United States, becoming #1 Most Added at Top 40, Rhythm, Urban, and Hot AC. This sets the stage for "Starboy" to become one of the biggest albums of 2016.
