As excitement builds for the 2024 MAMA AWARDS, pop sensation Bruno Mars could be taking the stage in Japan’s Kyocera Dome on November 22nd and 23rd. According to a recent statement from CJ ENM, Mars is currently reviewing an offer to perform at the prestigious event, which will be held in multiple locations across the globe.
The 2024 MAMA AWARDS, marking its 25th anniversary, will kick off at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on November 21st before moving to Osaka. If confirmed, this performance will add to Mars’ ongoing success with his latest single “APT.”, a collaboration with BLACKPINK’s Rosé. The track has shattered records, topping charts both in South Korea and the U.S., and has become a global hit with its music video surpassing 300 million views.
Mars, who has consistently delivered chart-topping hits like “Uptown Funk” and “That’s What I Like,” could bring his signature flair to the MAMA stage alongside Rosé, who is also slated to perform.
In the meantime, Rosé continues to break records as a solo artist. Her collaboration with Bruno Mars on “APT.” has not only dominated charts but has set new milestones for K-pop female soloists. The song, which was released on October 18, saw its music video reach 300 million views in under a month and has consistently ranked at the top of streaming charts worldwide.
“APT.” made waves on platforms like Spotify, where it soared to No. 1 on the U.S. charts, marking a historic achievement for Rosé as the first K-pop female artist to reach this milestone. The track also made a stellar debut at No. 8 on Billboard’s Hot 100, setting a new benchmark for K-pop solo artists.
The success of “APT.” is reflected not only in its streaming dominance but also in its impressive chart positions across the globe, including No. 1 on iTunes in 40 regions and QQ Music in China. The song has firmly established Rosé as a leading figure in the international music scene.
As anticipation for the 2024 MAMA AWARDS continues to grow, both Bruno Mars and Rosé’s contributions to the event are expected to further elevate the ceremony's global appeal. Fans are eagerly awaiting the chance to see these two powerhouse artists share the stage, promising an unforgettable performance that will surely make history.
