Kai Z. FengJustin Timberlake had a seven-year head start, but Bruno Mars has just pulled up even with him on Billboard’s Pop Songs chart.
Bruno has just scored his eighth #1 on the chart, which is based on radio airplay, with his latest single, “That’s What I Like.” He and JT are now tied with eight #1s, the most of any male solo artist in the history of the chart.
As Billboard points out, Justin scored his first #1 all the way back in 2003 with “Rock Your Body.” Bruno only scored his first #1 in 2010, with “Nothin’ on You.”
Overall, Justin and Bruno are tied for fifth place among acts with the most #1s on the Pop Songs chart. Katy Perry and Rihanna both have 11, followed by Pink and Maroon 5, who each have nine.
