Bruno Mars has officially been named the 2026 Record Store Day ambassador. The news comes as the star is plotting a jam-packed year. Mars kicked off 2026 by announcing his highly-anticipated fourth album The Romantic, his first in a decade. The singer is also heading out on the road for an accompanying world tour.

This year, Record Store Day falls on April 18. As a part of the day's special releases at participating record shops, Mars will release The Collaborations, a compilation album which showcases the singer's standout joint efforts. Songs like "Uptown Funk" with Mark Ronson, "Die With A Smile" with Lady Gaga, and the Grammy-nominated "Apt." with Rosé, will be featured on the LP.

Before Record Store Day, Mars will be partnering with over 200 record stores across the U.S. for the rollout of The Romantic by hosting listening parties on Feb. 25, prior to when his album arrives on Feb. 27. It’s bound to be one romantic event — fans can find a list of participating stores at recordstoreday.com.

A surprising choice for RSD ambassador. 

I can imagine a lot of the indie stores signed up who have been grumbling about it losing direction & hurting sales will have a lot to say.

The gays know how to party

Is this eligible to chart? Are we gonna lose DWAS sales? IS MAYHEM'S REIGN in the midsection of the Top 200 OVER????? :saladga::saladga::saladga:

Is there some reason my LG7 isn't here? Has she died or something?

Guys it's a physical exclusive for RSD, it won't steal streams. 

here's what Bruno is saying in the article :

“I love being able to physically be surrounded by music. Not just staring at your phone and downloading something or listening to something on your phone, but to actually see all of this beautiful art around you. It inspires me.”

Thats good.

 

If he includes it in his regular album tho... how will stream splitting work?

He won't or it would already be on the tracklist on Spotify. And it was leaked his album is 100% solo

The week it comes out, it will likely get the streams for DWAS as the higher charting album gets all the chart points for a song. That then changes on a week by week basis after that to be the higher charting album taking all the streams. In this case, since it’s physical only, the following week MAYHEM will get DWAS’ points.
