Mars has been nominated for Record of the Year four other times since 2011. This year’s awards will be his third and fourth Grammys, in addition to his awards for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance for Just the Way You Are from 2011 and Best Pop Vocal Album for his album Unorthodox Jukebox from 2014.
The Record of the Year award was presented by Beyonce with whom Mars performed at this year’s Super Bowl. At the Super Bowl, Mars had performed Uptown Funk, which even Michelle Obama can’t get enough of, according to People.
