00:00This one for them hood girls, them good girls, straight masterpiece.
00:04Welcome to Ms. Mojo.
00:05And today, we're counting down our picks for the most iconic collabs from the Prince of Pops discography.
00:12Red hearts, red hearts, that's what I'm on, yeah.
00:16Come get me something I can feel, oh, oh, oh.
00:20Number 10, Wake Up in the Sky.
00:23Gucci Mane, Bruno Mars, and Kodak Black.
00:26This song is the epitome of smooth.
00:28Out here with the moves, like I invent it smooth.
00:32You can't tell me how you fly.
00:34You can't tell me how you fly.
00:35Gucci Mane tapped Bruno Mars and Kodak Black for this flex anthem that hit number one on Billboard's U.S.
00:42rhythmic airplay chart.
00:44The rappers lay down indulgent flows over the dreamy, hypnotic trap beat, while Bruno adds catchiness with his melodic hook.
00:52I know I'm super fly.
00:53I know I'm super fly.
00:55Now watch me fly.
00:57A vein of soul runs through this track, giving it that woozy groove that you just can't get enough of.
01:03The lyrics are undoubtedly braggadocious, but they're delivered so nonchalantly you can't even be mad at them.
01:09The trio is super fly, and they know it.
01:12Now watch me fly.
01:15You can't tell me I ain't fly.
01:23Back in the day, you couldn't go to a party without this song blasting through the speakers.
01:28It was the ultimate ode to youth.
01:31Carefree, reckless, and unapologetic.
01:41Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa opt for a relaxed delivery, softened by the piano line in the back.
01:48Bruno's chorus is pure pop, meant to be sung along to with your hands in the air.
01:57You might not know the words to all the rap verses, but there's virtually no way you won't have Mars'
02:03part memorized.
02:04Even the TikTok generation relates to this hit, particularly the defiant refrain.
02:09Young, wild, and free is truly timeless.
02:12Yes, I was supposed to be, living young, and wild, and free.
02:20Number 8, Lighters, Bad Meets Evil, featuring Bruno Mars.
02:24This chart-topping hit juxtaposes Eminem and Royce to Five Nines' gritty rap with their collaborators' heartfelt vocals.
02:33Rather than being jarring, this contrast is what makes the song so compelling.
02:37Drinks to let them picks race, cause I came with Five Nines, but I feel like I'm six eight.
02:41This one's for you and me.
02:44There's a neat balance in the lyrics between dark themes and hope for the future.
02:48The conflict steadily gives way to an emotional climax that will never not give us goosebumps.
02:54So hold up the lights, let it shine.
03:02As a bonus, the music video is perfectly representative of the song's narrative progression,
03:07portraying an upward movement from the shadows to the light.
03:10It concludes with a dream-like display of a sky full of lanterns as the ultimate symbol of dreams realized.
03:17These guys clearly know a thing or two about motivation.
03:32Number 7, Finesse, Bruno Mars featuring Cardi B.
03:35You can trust these icons to give us a good time.
03:46Bruno Mars and Cardi B's Finesse goes retro, blending new jack swing and hip-hop soul with the effortless fun
03:53of funk.
03:54With their playful chemistry and infectious energy, the duo practically dares us not to groove along.
04:00It'll make no sense, I hate you better than this.
04:05You know it, you know it.
04:07The choreography is simple, but stylistically classic, which makes it feel natural rather than practiced.
04:14Cardi raps with ease, while Bruno sings with unforced charisma.
04:18With such strengths, it's no surprise that Finesse topped several charts in the U.S.,
04:23such as Billboard's hot R&B slash hip-hop songs, pop airplay, and rhythmic airplay charts.
04:29It's a top-tier banger from Cardi and Bruno, though when it comes to heat, their Please Me might just
04:34take the cake.
04:42Number 6, Leave the Door Open, Silk Sonic.
04:46We know the word cultural reset gets thrown around a lot, but this song truly was one.
04:52Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak debuted as Silk Sonic with this track and made history.
05:05Not only did it hit number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, but it also dominated charts worldwide,
05:11such as in Mexico, New Zealand, and more.
05:14The Philly soul and R&B gem racked up four Grammys, and it is yet to loosen the chokehold it
05:20has on social media.
05:21I'ma leave my door, I'ma leave the door, my baby.
05:27Part of its unique magic was recreated in Smokin' Out the Window with an extra pinch of humor.
05:33However, Leave the Door Open reigns supreme as the best of Silk Sonic.
05:46Number 5, APT, Rose and Bruno Mars.
05:56This collab was one of the biggest musical phenomena of recent years.
06:01Blackpink member Rose joined forces with Bruno Mars to deliver the bop to end all bops,
06:06inspired by a drinking game from South Korea.
06:15It is simple, crowd-pleasing, and catchy beyond belief.
06:19Rose's bright, punchy, pop-punk vocals are utterly charming,
06:23while Bruno brings in a pop-rock flair, but not without his signature swagger.
06:28Don't you want me like I want you, baby?
06:31Don't you need me like I need you now?
06:34APT took over the world, ruled music charts, spawned social media trends, and dance challenges alike.
06:41It even earned the singer's three Grammy nominations.
06:44Everyone and their mother has been vibing to this tune since it dropped,
06:48and we're still not tired of it.
06:50Just meet me, I'ma, I'ma, I'ma, I'ma, I'ma, I'ma.
06:55Number 4, Uptown Funk, Mark Ronson featuring Bruno Mars.
06:59This iconic song has over 5 billion views on YouTube, and two Grammys to its name.
07:12It topped the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart the week of its release,
07:15and hit number 1 again on the 2015 year-end chart.
07:19It destroyed all competition for the 2010 to 2019 decade-end chart as well,
07:24claiming the top position. Needless to say, the retro funk record was also a hit across the world,
07:31topping charts in Canada, France, Ireland, the UK, and more. If that's not a total victory,
07:36we don't know what is.
07:44The singer's explosive energy, unbeatable showmanship, and effortless cool are magnetic,
07:49but the lyrics will make you feel like the main character. There's nothing like it.
08:05If you were a youngster in the late aughts and didn't dedicate the song to your crush at least once,
08:10you weren't romancing right. There's a certain innocent earnestness about nothing on you that just hits right.
08:26Bruno's husky vocals are swoon-worthy, and B.O.B.'s bars have heart. Together,
08:31they had us blushing and daydreaming to no end.
08:42The song was all over the airwaves and enjoyed major chart success, going six times platinum in
08:49the United States. The scrapbook-style music video, though simple, is endearing, and now has the added
08:55advantage of being nostalgic. We're never moving on from this one.
09:05Number 2. Die with a Smile. Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars.
09:10A collaboration between two Grammy-winning powerhouses was bound to be a masterpiece.
09:14Die with a Smile didn't just tug at our heartstrings. Its emotional weight was devastating in the best way.
09:28With lyrics celebrating an all-consuming love and a composition that builds to a cathartic crescendo,
09:34Die with a Smile is an artistic tour de force. Both Gaga and Bruno are extraordinary vocalists as well,
09:40so when they harmonize, the result is transcendent to say the least.
09:51No wonder it earned both critical and commercial success, and even took home a Grammy.
09:55The accolades were more than well-deserved.
10:04Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions.
10:09Mirror. Lil Wayne featuring Bruno Mars. This one hits us right in the feels.
10:13I see myself, I'm looking at the mirror on the wall. Here we are again.
10:21Fat, Juicy and Wet. Sexy Red and Bruno Mars.
10:25With a music video starring Lady Gaga and Rosé, this club anthem is endlessly fun.

10:51Number 1. Billionaire. Travi McCoy featuring Bruno Mars.
10:56I wanna be on the cover of Forbes magazine. Smiling next to Oprah.
11:03It has been over a decade since this song was released, and yet it has lost none of its pleasantness.
11:09Travi and Bruno's artistic sensibilities compliment each other as they bring together reggae and pop rap.
11:14And the lyrics are universally relatable.
11:25It once taught us to reach for the stars, and while not everyone became a billionaire,
11:30the song still reminds us of the wide-eyed dreamers we used to be.
11:33Besides, it's never too late to land on the cover of Forbes magazine.
11:37This song may have peaked at number 4 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart,
11:41but it never left the top of our manifestation playlists.
