Doo-Wops & Hooligans is the debut studio album by American recording artist Bruno Mars, released on October 4, 2010. Mars' writing and production team The Smeezingtons were credited with writing all songs and serve as the album's executive producers. Doo-Wops & Hooligans debuted at number three on the Billboard 200 and in the top ten in Australia, Canada, and New Zealand. Its title refers to doo-wop music and was chosen to reflect simplicity, as well as appeal to both males and females.

The usage of a wide variety of influences was noted by critics, with musical comparisons made to Michael Jackson and Jason Mraz. Many praised the songs' catchy nature, as well as their carefree lyrics. Two digital singles—"Liquor Store Blues" featuring Damian Marley and "Grenade"—were released to promote the album. Lead single "Just the Way You Are" was released on July 19, 2010 and topped the Billboard Hot 100 for four consecutive weeks, going on to become an international top ten hit. "Grenade" was later announced as the second single, and has charted in the top ten in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the US. A US headlining tour accompanies the album, which started in November 2010, and is planned to run through the end of the year.

Background and development

The release of Doo-Wops & Hooligans was announced in a press release on August 25, 2010, following the release of Mars' debut extended play (EP), It's Better If You Don't Understand, earlier in the year.[1] Speaking to MTV News, Mars said the EP gave a "nice effect of what's in store" for the album.[2] The album cover was officially released on August 30, 2010.[3] The official track listing was revealed by Atlantic Records on September 9, 2010.[4] Three of the four songs from It's Better If You Don't Understand are included on the album.[5]

On the title of the album, Mars said, "I’m a big fan of doo-wop music. ... That’s what you call your girl, your "doo-wop." ... On this album, I have records that women are going to relate to and men are going to relate to. So doo-wops are for the girls, and hooligans are for the guys."[6] In addition, he told 4Music, "It explains the two sides of me. Doo-wop is a special form of music I grew up on. It's straight to the point, very simple. I have songs like that. ... I have that simple, romantic side of me but I'm also just a young, regular dude and that's like the hooligan side!"[7]

Composition and influences

Doo-Wops and Hooligans was noted for its diverse variety of influences, with elements of pop,[8] rock,[8] reggae,[8] R&B,[9] soul,[10] and hip hop.[11] Mars' sound has drawn comparisons to Michael Jackson[9][12][13][14]—especially the album's "atmospheric" opener "Grenade" to "Dirty Diana"[10][15]—as well as to Jason Mraz.[11][13][16] Other comparisons in style and sound made include "Grenade" to Kanye West[11] and Shakira,[17] "Just the Way You Are" to U2,[11] "Our First Time" to singer-songwriters D'Angelo,[8] Al B. Sure!,[10] and Sade,[11] "Runaway Baby" to Little Richard,[11] "The Lazy Song" to Sugar Ray,[9] "Marry You" to Coldplay,[11] "Liquor Store Blues" to Bedouin Soundclash,[14] and "Count on Me" to Israel Kamakawiwoʻole.[18]

Lyrically, many tracks have been described as "feel-good", carefree, and optimistic, including love song "Just the Way You Are" ("When you smile, the whole world stops and stares for a while"),[19] the friendship song "Count on Me" ("You can count on me like 1 2 3 / I'll be there"),[8][20] and "Marry You", a song singing of a spontaneous marriage idea.[10][21] In addition, "Runaway Baby" is a guitar-driven "snappy retro trip"[8][10] and "The Lazy Song" is described as a "hymn to sloth" and a "surf stoner's anthem" ("I be loungin' on the couch just chillin' in my Snuggie / click to MTV so they can teach me how to Dougie").[12][13][22] On the other hand, darker subjects are addressed in "Grenade", the album's masochistic heartbreak song ("Take a bullet straight through my brain / Yes, I would die for ya baby"),[10][21][23] "Talking to the Moon" ("Talking to the moon... / In hopes you're on the other side"),[10][21] and the reggae track "Liquor Store Blues" ("I'll take one shot for my pain / One drag for my sorrow").[14][16] The experimental collaboration "The Other Side" was frequently noted as the album's highlight, being the most complicated and having the best production.[22][24][25][26]

"Just the Way You Are" was released as the album's lead single on July 19, 2010.[27] It has since topped the Billboard Hot 100 for four consecutive weeks, having sold over 2 million copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan, and has been certified platinum in both New Zealand and the US.[28][29][30] It has also peaked at the top of the Australian Singles Chart, the Canadian Hot 100, the Dutch Top 40, the Irish Singles Chart, the New Zealand Singles Chart, and the UK Singles Chart, as well as within the top ten in Denmark, Norway, and Sweden.[31][32][33][34] The music video was directed by Ethan Lader and was released on September 8, 2010.[4][35] Included on the album is "The Other Side", featuring rappers Cee Lo Green and B.o.B, earlier released as a single from It's Better If You Don't Understand.[36] The accompanying music video was directed by Nick Bilardello and Cameron Duddy, and was released in July 2010.[37][38]

As promotional singles, "Liquor Store Blues" featuring Damian Marley and "Grenade" were released to the iTunes Store on September 21 and September 28, 2010, respectively.[39][40] "Liquor Store Blues" debuted at number ninety-seven on the Canadian Hot 100 for the week of October 1, 2010.[41] Additionally, "The Lazy Song" charted at number eighty-two in the US the week of the album's release.[42] "Grenade" was later decided as the album's second single and has so far peaked at number one in Australia, two in New Zealand, four in Canada and three the US, and forty-seven in the Netherlands.[43][44] The music video, directed by Nabil, was released November 19, 2010 and features Mars dragging an upright piano through Los Angeles to sing to the girl of his affections, only to find out she is with another man.[45][46] "Marry You" charted at number fifty in Australia, eighty-nine in Canada and ninety-one in the US the week of December 11, 2010.[43][47][48]

Release and promotion

Doo-Wops & Hooligans saw its premiere on MySpace on September 24 and was released to digital retailers on October 4, then to stores on October 5, 2010.[4][49] A deluxe edition was released that includes two more tracks: a remix of "Just the Way You Are" featuring Lupe Fiasco and "Somewhere in Brooklyn", originally from It's Better If You Don't Understand.[40][50] The deluxe edition also includes the music videos of "Just the Way You Are" and "The Other Side".[50]

Mars premiered several of the album's songs during a performance at the Bowery Ballroom in New York City on August 25, 2010.[51] He appeared as the musical guest for Saturday Night Live on October 9, 2010, alongside host Jane Lynch, and performed "Just the Way You Are", "Nothin' on You", and "Grenade".[52] Along with OneRepublic, Mars promoted the album opening for Maroon 5 on the fall leg of the Hands All Over Tour that began October 6, 2010. He also supported Travie McCoy on his European tour from mid-October through November 2010.[4] Atlantic has allowed the musical television series Glee to cover two songs from the album; "Just the Way You Are" and "Marry You" were performed on "Furt", an episode that aired in November 2010.[45]

Upon its release, Doo-Wops & Hooligans received generally positive reviews from most music critics; it was given a normalized rating of 67/100, based on six reviews on the aggregate website Metacritic.[57] Entertainment Weekly's Leah Greenblatt gave the album a B+ rating, praising Mars for his "instant-access melodies" and "sly snatches of dance-floor swagger", but noting weaknesses in songs deviant from his conventional pop and soul genres.[10] Sean Fennessey of The Washington Post gave the album a favorable review, calling it "effortlessly tuneful" and a good start to a "durable career".[13] Rolling Stone's Jody Rosen called the album "the year's finest debut" whose tracks "deliver pleasure without pretension".[59] Jon Caramanica of The New York Times called Doo-Wops & Hooligans a "fantastically polyglot record that shows him to be a careful study across a range of pop songcraft", applauding its diverse range of influences.[11] Darrly Sterdan of CANOE praised Mars' "romantic crooning" that "will have little girls over the moon in short order."[58] and About.com's Bill Lamb called the album "one of the top debut albums of the year".[26]

Tim Sendra of allmusic gave the album a rating of three stars out of five, calling it "an uneven debut ... [that] doesn't tap into his potential as a writer or a producer". Sendra commended the earlier released song "The Other Side" as the highlight of the album, noting, though, that it "points to a direction Mars could have taken with the album but didn't".[25] Eric Henderson writing for Slant Magazine criticized the album, saying it "manages to wear out its welcome about halfway through", calling it an attempt to "please just about everybody."[18] Scott Kara of The New Zealand Herald enjoyed the first two tracks of the album, but noted it could have had more of both titular elements to raise its "potency".[17] Ken Capobianco was disappointed that the album lacked an autobiographical aspect to it, but otherwise praised Mars' delivery.[22]

Chart performance

In the United States, Doo-Wops & Hooligans debuted at number three on the Billboard 200 for the week of October 13, 2010, selling 55,000 copies.[60] The album debuted the same week on the Canadian Albums Chart at number six.[61] The next week, the album dropped to number twelve in the U.S., with sales of 27,000.[62] The album peaked at number five in New Zealand, number seven in Australia, number twenty-nine in Ireland, and number seventy-nine in the UK.[63][64][65]
