James Corden's Carpool Karaoke has seen legendary singers such as Mariah Carey, Stevie Wonder, Elton John and more, but there are still musicians who haven't made an appearance that the Late Late Show host is still clamoring for.

The British host, who launched his late-night show last year, as well as his viral segment Carpool Karaoke, continues to see more interest from celebrities including Gwen Stefani, Julia Roberts, One Direction and Justin Bieber, but he still has his wish list. In an interview with Time Out, Corden reveals two people he really wants to come on the show.

"Beyoncé! Bruno Mars!" he admits.

Despite being in a position to reveal his wish list, Corden still can't believe what a mighty success his show—and Carpool Karaoke—has been. "Crazy, right? As of today, we have the top two highest viewed online clips in the history of late-night television. Ever," he tells the magazine. "Ridiculous considering a year ago…Well, I didn't exist!"

Although he admits many people still don't know what he does or whom he is, he acknowledges that his project has made waves in U.S. pop culture.

"I still don't in the eyes of most people. Not since [the BBC sitcom] Gavin & Stacey have I been so aware that I'm doing something that's absolutely in the zeitgeist," he says. "Carpool Karaoke is a thing. Even Kim Kardashian posted a video the other day saying she was in a car with Lil' Kim about to Carpool Karaoke."

In addition to being consistently surprised by how well his show performs, Corden admits there are other perks to his newfound success in Los Angeles. "Before the show launched, if me and the wife wanted to go to a nice restaurant, we'd have to eat at 5 or 10:30 p.m.," he explains. "Luckily, that's not the case any more."

There's no saying whether Beyoncé caught Corden's parody of Lemonade, or if she's even seen his interview, but hopefully she'll catch wind of his wish list and appear on his beloved musical segment.
