To tie in with the release of Cardi B-assisted 'Finesse' this week, which looks a smash hit in waiting, it feels right to give Bruno Mars the 'Least Favourite Single' treatment! Established as one of the most reliable hit-makers of the decade, it leaves us with a strong discography to wittle down over the coming weeks.

This closes on Monday at midnight, unless there is a runaway leader on Sunday night. Enjoy!

Ooh fab *.* I am targeting the very dull 'When I Was Your Man' first.

I was thinking of suggesting a Bruno rate earlier today so I'm hyped for this 😂❤️

24k magic for me first, I've never gotten the love for it at all.

Hoping grenade/the lazy song/marry you/finesse slay this *.*

Really a discography of two halves! First 7 vary from good to amazing, last 7 are all largely crap (bar Gorilla & I've yet to hear Finesse).

But we'll start with 24K Magic, hideous song.

Wow, this is a really strong discography looking at it written down like that. My least favourites from him are mainly the ballads like Just The Way You Are, When I Was Your Man and It Will Rain so I've gone for the latter in this round.

Grenade is really rather overplayed too though so I'll be going for that soon as well. The Lazy Song to win ~~

YAAAAAAAS *.*

My entire family, myself included, is obsessed with Bruno Mars so this should be exciting for me. Went with “Gorilla” first, I always found that to be his weakest single as a whole. JESUS CHRIST WHAT A DISCOGRAPHY.

Hoping we won't get rid of the best song on the list first again (namely 'It Will Rain', I'm usually not that big on Bruno's ballads but that one is such a standout, really gorgeous track). Was a close pick between 'Grenade' and 'When I Was Your Man' but gone with the latter.

I find in general that Bruno's first era hasn't aged particularly well but WIWYM aside he's very solid from 'It Will Rain' onwards! (Haven't heard 'Finesse' yet tho and I don't think I ever heard 'Young Girls' either ) My favourite track from the 'Doo-Wops & Hooligans' era these days is actually probably 'Runaway Baby', I guess that wasn't a single despite being a UK top 20 hit though.

Voted 'It Will Rain' (never heard that or 'Young Girls'). Let's not vote 24K Magic early....

Has to be When I Was Your Man...so boring!

Posted by: Theo. Jan 5 2018, 08:52 PM

His worst is obviously "The Lazy Song" and anyone voting otherwise is wrong.

lazy song is a bop don't hurt me

When I Was Your Man is my favourite I don't care for his ballads or many ballads in general but that really strikes a chord with me.

It Will Rain however, certainly doesn't, straining to death and dull. So, I chose that.

Posted by: Chez Wombat Jan 5 2018, 09:01 PM

His earlier stuff definitely hasn't aged well, but that's a very strong discography! Going with When I Was Your Man as the radio made that nigh on unlistenable.

Gorilla.

Will close tonight, get your votes in!

Posted by: Jack Jan 8 2018, 08:06 AM

A mixed bag, I used to really not like him early on in his career.

My favourites are 'Treasure', 'It Will Rain' and 'Finesse' - hoping they can do well here!

Posted by: gavindeejay Jan 8 2018, 08:37 AM

Gorilla for me. I can't even remember how it goes!

Posted by: Jonjo Jan 8 2018, 09:42 AM

'Gorilla' in this poll for me. Such a solid singles campaign! I don't think there's one song I dislike tbh.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn Jan 8 2018, 10:49 AM

'The Lazy Song'. Kill it with fire!

The Lazy Song

Posted by: sergejdordij98 Jan 9 2018, 10:19 AM

I can't stand "The Lazy Song", which was the only Bruno Mars hit single I hate and I voted for it.

Posted by: Joe. Jan 9 2018, 11:15 AM

I went for Gorilla.

It Will Rain is the best ballad there!
