Singer-songwriter Bruno Mars has been named Billboard's Artist Of The Year for 2013 thanks to the success of his album 'Unorthodox Jukebox' and for his relentless chart and commercial success.

Mars' co-manager Brandon Creed told Billboard that it has been an "incredible year" of triumphs for the superstar and he will continue to enjoy amazing success:

"It's been an incredible year. We definitely had goals going into this project to support the artist, his music and performance."

"But we tried to do everything for a purpose, nothing gratuitous. And we're continuing to lay and build the foundation for him to evolve musically and continue to connect with the audience."

Mars also opened up about the coveted title and added that he's overwhelmed at the fact that he gets to do his dream job everyday and enjoy the rewards so publicly: "My dream was to not get a day job but to sleep, wake up and do my music. And hopefully, my music does all the talking. I want to keep that dream forever. That's it. That's what I love to do."
