This money will be shared between Ronson, his label Columbia plus his publisher Imagem and his co-writers, Jeff Bhasker, Bruno Mars and Philip Lawrence of The Smeezingtons.

Ronson’s seven-week reign at the top of the Official UK Single Chart was recently ended by Ellie Goulding with her single ‘Love Me Like You Do’.

Mark Ronson was recently confirmed to headline a gig for Jameela Jamil’s Why Not People? – the first company of its kind putting on live events for people with disabilities.
