Hero: Stevie, right, is Mark's favourite musician of all time
Mark Ronson celebrated tonight after landing a double number one with his album Uptown Special and single Uptown Funk.
Very smooth.
But he reckons the best thing about his new album is signing up soul legend Stevie Wonder.
Techno-phobes everywhere will be delighted to hear that Mark, 39, convinced thesinging superstar, 64, to feature on his record by simply writing him a letter.

He says: "I wrote his manager a letter. I had written that melody and was singing it in my head, and it had a harmonica sound - and I just thought, 'What the hell.'
"I didn't hear anything for a couple of months - then I suddenly got a message from his manager saying, 'Yes.'
"I've spent most of my adult life listening to his music - he's my favourite musician and singer-songwriter of all time - so it was heavy."
