Billboard estimates that, to date, “Uptown Funk” has made about $840,000 in publishing revenue, so here's how much everyone involved has currently made off the song: Bhasker/SonyATV: $142,800. Gallaspy/SonyATV: $63,000. Gap Band/Minder: $142,800.

Mark Ronson is a musician and producer, not a singer. People like him release their own songs, but, because songs* require vocals, they collaborate with singers to create them. In this case, “Uptown Funk” is his song, but he asked Bruno Mars to sing it because the latter is a singer that he likes.
