‘Don’t believe me, just watch’: Mars’ comeback breaks records

That’s where the spark of Mars’ character started to shine. Randomly, on Jan. 5, Mars went to the social media platform ‘X’ and made a post claiming, "My album is done." Mars’ fans got super worked up for his new album drop. On Jan.8, he dropped the single "I Just Might" onto all streaming platforms to tease "The Romantic," releasing on Feb. 27, and fans have been going crazy over it, with it immediately climbing up the ranks and becoming the #1 on Billboard Hot 100 for two weeks as of Jan. 26. “I really liked the single that he dropped, it reminded me of one of his older songs, ‘Locked Out of Heaven,'” said OH senior Ryan Dejesus Alicea.
