Chartbreaker: How Mark Ambor Proved He and Pop Stardom ‘Belong Together’

Mark Ambor's 'Belong Together' is the pop singer-songwriter's first Hot 100 hit and continues to grow. Meet Billboard's October 2024 Chartbreaker.

Though the skill took a backseat in high school, he rekindled his love for the instrument as he approached graduation, trading the classical pieces he previously learned for modern-day pop songs. He soon began posting covers — including breathtaking renditions of Coldplay’s “Yellow” and Billie Eilish’s “Happier Than Ever” — as well as a few originals, and ultimately caught the attention of then-independent manager Kyle Thomson, who admits he’s a “sucker” for a great voice over a piano melody and asked Ambor to send a few demos. Ambor continued to stoke the fire well after its release, posting many videos on the platform of him walking the streets of major European cities while on tour and singing its dialed-up final chorus, several of which have compiled more than 10 million views each.
