Uptown Special by Mark Ronson

Uptown Special, Mark Ronson's fourth album, arrived on 13 January 2015 in the US, with the UK getting it six days later. It was his first album in almost five years and his first solo record since Version, and he dedicated it to the late Amy Winehouse, whose Back to Black he had produced.

It's a love letter to funk and R&B, all strutting basslines, punchy horns and slick grooves, and the lead single, "Uptown Funk" with Bruno Mars, was a juggernaut: 14 straight weeks at the top of the Hot 100, seven weeks at number one in Britain, and the Grammy for Record of the Year. "Daffodils" shows the hazier side. The album gave Ronson his first UK number one after two records that stalled at number two, and it reached number five on the Billboard 200 and number two in Australia.
