Evidence and review
Individual evidence review is pending. The displayed range is a reported reference span, not an independently verified physiological limit.
These are the approximate figures fans and music journalists commonly cite — the widest notes a singer has recorded, not the comfortable range they sing in every night, and not lab measurements. Treat them as a fun reference, not a target.
How Bruno Mars uses that range
Everything is placed forward and narrow, a bright almost twangy ring that lets the E5 belt keep its chest flavour without shouting. Attacks land firm and often glottal, the vibrato underneath quick and slightly wide, phrase ends decorated with short retro-soul turns instead of long runs. Above the belt, falsetto comes in clean and stacked. The usual mistake is adding volume rather than twang, which closes the throat by the second chorus.

Reading the numbers
- The top note beats 91% of the 223 tenors in this library.
- 10 semitones — 23% of the whole span — sit above the cited full-voice ceiling, so much of this range is head voice, falsetto or whistle rather than chest.
- The ceiling clears the conventional tenor top of C5 by 14 semitones.
- The span runs 10.5 semitones past the median voice in this library (32.5 semitones).
- 2 other voices here carry the identical cited range — at the resolution these figures are quoted in, those voices are indistinguishable on the chart.
Commonly cited figures, not lab measurements — extreme notes are one-off recorded moments, not the singer’s everyday range.
