In the United States, Mars had the second best-selling Record Store Day 2026 exclusive album. It also debuted on the Dutch Albums chart at number eight and the UK Albums Sales at number fifteen.

Background

[edit]

On January 30, 2026, Mars was announced as the 2026 Record Store Day ambassador. To celebrate, a limited edition compilation album, titled Collaborations was released exclusively on vinyl.[1] It features some of his most prominent collaborations packaged in one double-disc set. Only 11,000 copies of the record were made available.[2] The cover art was photography by John V. Esparza, who also handled the package design.[3]

He shared excitedly in a statement after being announced as the Ambassador: "Independent record stores are so important because you get the chance to immerse and surround yourself with music". He continued, "I love collecting vinyl because nothing is better than sitting on your couch, putting on a record and just listening to music like that. Support your local independent record store on Record Store Day this year."[4]

Michael Kurtz, the co-founder of Record Store Day, stated that "We're thrilled to have Bruno Mars as our 2026 Ambassador".[5] Only three collaborations were disclosed alongside the announcement of the release of the compilation album. Including "Uptown Funk" with Mark Ronson, "Die With A Smile" with Lady Gaga and "APT." with Rosé.[6] At some point, before the album's release, a French record store disclosed the full track list.[7]

Collaborations failed to chart on the US Billboard 200, but it debuted on Top Album Sales at number ten and Vinyl Albums at number five.[8][9] In the United States, Mars had the second best-selling Record Store Day 2026 exclusive album.[4] It also entered the UK Albums Sales at number fifteen and the Scottish Albums Official Charts at number thirty-two.[10][11] The compilation album also debuted at number eight on the Dutch Album Top 100 and number twenty on the Croatian International Albums chart.[12][13] It entered the top thirty of the Hungarian Physical Albums chart and the Japanese Western Albums chart at number twenty-three and twenty-seven, respectively.[14][15]
