The host began his first day in May by promising long-standing listeners " more of the same".
BBC chief content officer Charlotte Moore said: " Radio 2 continues to be the country's most popular station and I'm delighted with the flying start Vernon Kay has made to mid-mornings as the UK's biggest radio show, bringing his warmth, energy and charisma to listeners up and down the country. "
Radio 2 controller Helen Thomas added that she was " proud that Radio 2 remains the UK's most listened to radio station".
The Station registered 13. 5 million weekly listeners - One million down on the same period Last Year .
Bruce, who will be made an MBE on Friday, spent 31 years as Radio 2 's mid-morning host.
He Said he was was " delighted" to hear he had helped his new station reach its biggest audience yet - 6. 7 million per week.
