Bruno Mars Earns RIAA 7x Platinum for "Marry You"

Bruno Mars's 2010 single "Marry You" was certified 7x Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) on October 17, 2025. The certification from Atlantic Records signifies 7,000,000 units sold in the United States. The song is a key track from Mars's landmark debut studio album, Doo-Wops & Hooligans.

Released on August 22, 2010, "Marry You" was written and produced by The Smeezingtons, Mars's production team at the time. The song blends pop, doo-wop and soul influences, evoking a 1960s pop style that drew mixed reviews from critics upon its release. Thematically centered on spontaneous marriage, the track has since become a popular anthem for proposals. Co-writer Philip Lawrence noted the initial concept was "more of a racy kind of idea" inspired by a "crazy, daring, wedding feeling" in Las Vegas. Though not officially released as a single in the U.S., "Marry You" reached No. 85 on the Billboard Hot 100 and became a top-10 hit in several international markets, including Australia and Canada.
