Released in October 2010, Doo-Wops & Hooligans served as the official introduction to Bruno Mars not just as a songwriter, but as a bona fide superstar. Coming off the massive success of his features on B.o.B’s "Nothin' on You" and Travie McCoy’s "Billionaire," the pressure was on for Mars to deliver a cohesive solo project. He did more than deliver; he defined the pop landscape of the early 2010s.
