"Uptown Funk" (stylized as "UpTown Funk!")[3][4] is a song recorded by British producer Mark Ronson, with vocals from American singer Bruno Mars, for Ronson's fourth studio album, Uptown Special (2015). RCA Records released the song as the album's lead single on 10 November 2014.[5] Jeff Bhasker assisted the artists in co-writing and co-producing the track, with additional writing from Philip Lawrence. This is Mars' fourth collaboration with Ronson (following Mars' own songs "Locked Out of Heaven", "Moonshine", and "Gorilla") and sixth with Bhasker (after "Talking to the Moon", "Young Girls" and the three previously mentioned songs).

The single was a commercial success, spending fourteen consecutive weeks at number one on the US Billboard Hot 100, seven weeks at number one on the UK Singles Chart, and topped the charts in several other countries including Australia, Canada, France, Ireland and New Zealand. In the week of 25 January 2015, the song was streamed a record 2.34 million times in a single week in the UK, a record later surpassed by Ellie Goulding's "Love Me like You Do" (2.58 million streams).[6] The latter song also beat "Uptown Funk" for the highest number of streams in one week worldwide, with 15.5 million.[7] "Uptown Funk" also set a new record for the highest number of streams in one week in the US, with 4.8 million streams.[8] Worldwide, the song has accumulated an estimated 13 million points from sales and streams, the second most for any song released this century, after "Happy" by Pharrell Williams.[9] In 2015, "Uptown Funk" won Ronson the Brit Award for British Single of the Year.[10] The video for "Uptown Funk" is also nominated for five MTV Video Music Awards in 2015 including Video of the Year . According to Billboard magazine, the song has earned $2.7 million in publishing royalties (excluding TV and film synchronization revenue), $1.9 million of which went to the writers based on their respective publishing deals.[11] On June 24, 2015, it was reported that Trinidad James earned over $150,000 USD in royalty earnings from Uptown Funk's interpolation.[12]

The song features heavy inspiration from the Minneapolis sound of 1980s-era soul music, having a spirit akin to works by Prince as well as Morris Day and The Time.[13] Copyright controversies about "Uptown Funk" have dogged Ronson and Mars, with The Gap Band's three core members being added on as songwriters as part of a mutually settled agreement given the inspiration given to the track by "Oops! Upside Your Head". Serbian pop artist Viktorija has also argued that "Uptown Funk" infringed on her track "Ulice Mracne Nisu Za Devojke".[14]

Background

In 2012, Ronson produced songs for Bruno Mars' second studio album Unorthodox Jukebox, including the singles "Locked Out of Heaven" and "Gorilla".[15][16] In June 2014, Ronson told Capital FM that he and Mars planned on working together again: "He's had a incredible run and it was great to be able to work on that record with him and hopefully we'll be making music for a while. [He puts on an] amazing live show."[17] Ronson and Uptown Special co-producer Jeff Bhasker would set up shop whenever and wherever they found time with Mars, eventually recording in Los Angeles, Toronto, London, Vancouver, Memphis and New York City. Mars wound up playing drums throughout the album, as well as co-writing "Uptown Funk".[16] Part of the track was recorded at Cherry Beach Sound in Toronto.

In April 2015, it was revealed that a settlement had been reached with The Gap Band's publishing company, Minder Music, to add Charlie Wilson, Robert Wilson, Ronnie Wilson, Rudolph Taylor and producer Lonnie Simmons as co-writers, due to the song's similarities to "Oops Upside Your Head", and that they would receive a 17% songwriting credit.[18] Minder Music filed a claim into YouTube's content management system, which prevented publishers from receiving their payment.[19][20]

Composition and influences

"Uptown Funk" is heavily influenced by the Minneapolis sound of the early 1980s, pioneered by Prince, The Time with Morris Day, and Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis with a touch of boogie of The Gap Band, and Zapp and a slight modern EDM twist. According to Ronson in Rolling Stone, the song "animates a Minneapolis groove."[13] According to Chris Molanphy of Slate, "Uptown Funk" is a "brazen return to the electro-funk of the early ’80s."[21]

According to Billboard writer Sean Ross, the song is widely influenced by funk artists and their songs. This includes Prince's "I Wanna Be Your Lover" and "U Got the Look" , Zapp's "More Bounce to the Ounce", One Way's "Cutie Pie", The Gap Band's "I Don't Believe You Want to Get Up and Dance (Oops Up Side Your Head)" and "Early in the Morning", Earth, Wind & Fire's "Getaway", The Sequence's "Funk You Up", The Sugarhill Gang's "Apache", George Kranz's "Trommeltanz (Din Daa Daa)", Wham!'s "Young Guns (Go for It)" and The Time's "Cool" and "Jungle Love". The only song specifically credited on "Uptown Funk" is Trinidad James' 2012 top 10 hit "All Gold Everything". However, many of the songs cited "were released during the worst period of a 'disco backlash' that effectively kept all types of black music, not just disco, off of top 40", while "Uptown Funk" received instant airplay at top 40 radio.[22]

Reception

The song received positive reviews from music critics. Nick Murray of Rolling Stone was positive, giving the song a rating of 4 out of 5 stars, praising "some George Kranz scatting and a Nile Rodgers guitar riff." He also wrote that Mars, Ronson and The Hooligans "channel the days when brags weren't humble and disco wasn't retro."[23] Brennan Carley of Spin Magazine noted that "Mars sounds a bit like Nelly on the track, sing-rapping his way through goofy lyrics ("Got Chucks on / With Saint Laurent / Gotta kiss myself / So pretty")", while comparing the bass line to something "taken straight from Prince's playbook." He added that "It's a definite step towards more classic funk for Ronson, who has a history of dabbling in heavy horn sections and walking guitar solos." He finished by saying "Mars' voice keeps things light and bubbly though, making 'Uptown Funk' the kind of song you'll be unable to escape on the radio in a matter of days."[24] Lucas Villa of AXS called Ronson "eternally cool" and added that the producer's "latest foray into 'Funk' is definitely his freakiest, freshest and most fun release yet."[25]

In a mixed review for the parent album Uptown Special, Jim Farber from Daily News gave an overrall 3/5 rating and claimed that Ronson "just got lucky." He particularly criticized "Uptown Funk" for being a "lazy track", unlike the rest of the songs, which "obsess on the past, but most enliven it."[26]

In January 2015, "Uptown Funk" was ranked at number 23, tied with Meghan Trainor's "All About That Bass" on The Village Voice's annual year-end Pazz & Jop critics' poll. Later the same month, the song was voted into Triple J's Hottest 100 at number 6.[27]

The song is reported to earn $100,000 for the label and composers per week for streaming on Spotify alone.[28]

United Kingdom

Following a cover by Fleur East on The X Factor reaching number one on iTunes, "Uptown Funk" was released, with its release date being brought forward by five weeks.[31] It debuted at number one in the United Kingdom with first-week chart sales of 118,000.[32][33] This gave Ronson his first UK number one as either a producer or artist.[33] The next week, despite selling over 181,000 copies, "Uptown Funk" fell to number two, being denied the coveted Christmas number one by The X Factor winner Ben Haenow's winner's single, "Something I Need".[34] In that same week, "Uptown Funk" made UK chart history by being the first single to be streamed more than 2 million times in a single week, being streamed a total of 2.34 million times. In doing so, the single took the title of being the all-time most streamed track in a single week, replacing Ed Sheeran's "Thinking Out Loud".[6] The following week, "Uptown Funk" returned to number one and improved on its streaming record, being streamed 2.49 million times. It spent seven non-consecutive weeks at number one, before finally being knocked off the top on 8 February 2015 by Ellie Goulding's "Love Me Like You Do", which also broke its streaming record for a single week.[35] The song has been certified a 'million-seller' by the Official Charts Company, and has been purchased over 1,390,000 times.[36] The song set a new worldwide record for the highest number of streams in one week, with 15 million.[8] In May 2015, the song became only the third song released during the 21st century to be certified 3× Platinum.[37]

United States

This marked Mars' eleventh top 5 on the Billboard Hot 100, passing Katy Perry and Rihanna (10 each) for the most top five titles in the 2010s.[41] On its fifth week, it reached a peak of number 3, staying there for two weeks. The song claimed the Hot 100's three top Gainer awards (Digital, Streaming, Airplay), marking just the fifth title to sweep all three categories in the nearly three years of their side-by-side existence, and making Ronson the first male soloist to top Digital Songs with a debut chart entry (as a lead) since Sam Smith's "Stay with Me".[42] The next week the song reached a peak of number two. The following week, "Uptown Funk" topped the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Ronson's first number-one single in the country and Mars' sixth. The song crowned the three major component songs charts (Digital Songs, Streaming Songs and Radio Songs) on the Billboard Hot 100. It also marked Ronson's first single to reach number one in radio songs; for Mars, it became his sixth, reaching fifth among acts with the most number-ones in that area.[43] The song became the first to crown the Hot 100 and its three main component charts for nine weeks (the previous record was held by Meghan Trainor's "All About That Bass", which did so for two weeks).[44] By spending a thirteenth week at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, it became Mars' longest command at the top position (among his six number-ones).[45] It also became one of the longest running singles in Billboard's Hot 100 history and also the longest-running number-one single of the 2010s decade, by topping the chart for 14 consecutive weeks, also becoming the joint second-longest number-one single in Billboard history.[44] This surpassed the previous record set by Robin Thicke with his 2013 single "Blurred Lines", featuring Pharrell Williams and T.I., which reigned at number one for 12 weeks. After its fourteenth week, it was replaced by Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth's "See You Again".[46] The song stayed in the top three of the Billboard Hot 100 for 21 weeks, a record previously owned by "Smooth" by Santana and Rob Thomas.[47] On June 5, "Uptown Funk" spent a 25th consecutive week inside the US top 5, equalling the all-time record set by LeAnn Rimes with "How Do I Live" in 1997.
