Mars took home awards for best R&B/soul male artist, video of the year, album of the year, song of the year and best dance performance.
Earlier this year, he won seven American Music Awards, including artist of the year. Mars picked up video of the year at the BET Awards, shared with Beyonce, and won his fifth Grammy Award earlier this year. His album 24K Magic reached double platinum.
He performed in the Apollo concert in the middle of his current tour so he and his musicians, his signature choreography are all on point.
Mars said he chose to film the one-hour special at the Apollo — which he calls “a magical place” — because of the venue’s rich history in music and pop culture.
“People are going to get the best that I got,” he said in a CBS interview.
