From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Unorthodox Jukebox is the second studio album by American singer-songwriter Bruno Mars. It was released on December 7, 2012, by Atlantic Records. The album was initially planned to be more "energetic" than his previous work, but, it ended presenting a wide range of styles such as reggae rock, disco and soul music. The premiere of the album was preceded by the release of its lead single, "Locked Out of Heaven", which experienced commercial acclaim worldwide and topped the US Billboard Hot 100 chart for six consecutive weeks. Subsequently, four other singles ("When I Was Your Man", "Treasure", "Gorilla" and "Young Girls") were made available for consumption, with each one of them having major to minor success in the United States.
