Doo-Wops & Hooligans is the debut studio album by American singer-songwriter and producer Bruno Mars. It was released by Atlantic and Elektra Records on October 4, 2010. Mars' writing and production team The Smeezingtons were credited with writing all songs and serve as the album's executive producers. The usage of a wide variety of influences was noted by critics, with musical comparisons made to Michael Jackson and Jason Mraz. Doo-Wops & Hooligans debuted at number three on the Billboard 200 and in the top ten in Australia, Canada, and New Zealand. Lead single "Just the Way You Are" topped the Billboard Hot 100 for four consecutive weeks and became an international top ten hit. Two digital singles—"Liquor Store Blues" featuring Damian Marley and "Grenade"—were released to promote the album. An American headlining tour accompanies it, which started in November 2010, and will run through the end of the year. (Wikipedia) See Less
