"Again!"

Plenty of people hear a rendition of the happy birthday song on their special day, but not many people get to hear it from the mouth of a best-selling singer.

Bruno Mars is not like most people, though.

"You know you've made it when you can hire Ed Sheeran to sing you Happy Birthday," Mars wrote on Monday night.

Yep: that's "dear two-time Superbowl-performing Bruno" to you, Ed.

It wasn't the only birthday well-wishes Mars received this year, either.

Birthday songs from Sheeran and love hearts from Ellen. Bruno Mars has made it alright.
