The singer-songwriter returned earlier in 2026 with The Romantic, his first solo album in nearly a decade. Weeks before the collection dropped, Mars previewed the set with lead single "I Just Might."
Expectedly, the first taste of a new era from one of the most successful songwriters in the business proved to be an earworm, and importantly, a radio favorite. Mars has moved on from "I Just Might" and has been promoting "Risk It All" as the second single from The Romantic, but Americans are still loving its predecessor. This week, "I Just Might" is once again the most successful tune on the American airwaves, and as it leads one specific Billboard chart again, the track advances on an all-time list of the longest-running leaders in radio history.
