I Just Might hitmaker Bruno Mars has been announced as the ambassador for US Record Store Day 2026, taking place April 18.

The singer is also partnering with record stores to release his upcoming album, The Romantic, and commented 'Independent record stores are so important because you get the chance to immerse and surround yourself with music, and that's why I'm so excited to be this year's Record Store Day Ambassador. I love collecting vinyl because nothing is better than sitting on your couch, putting on a record and just listening to music like that. It feels like a lost art'.
