James has had a great year over in America and has quietly managed to sell 2.5million American sales of debut album Back To Bedlam.

According to the latest Billboard chart he is on 2.43million and is expected to reach the magic mark in a couple of weeks. This is an astonishing figure.

The Americans fell in love with his global smash hit You’re Beautiful and he’s been playing to sell-out crowds across the US for the past year.

Love him or loathe him, he’s worked very hard to crack America — barely spending a night in his own bed — and I think he deserves his success there.

But he is the biggest British seller of recent times and is bound to walk off with a handful of Grammy Awards next month.
