James Blunt had last year’s biggest selling album - but just why are people not admitting to liking the singer?

James has been nominated for 5 Brit awards and is expected to walk off with most of them, but with many complaining he is dull and boring, just who is supporting the star?

Many critics can’t stand the singer and have been trashing his single ‘You’re Beautiful,’ but his album has already sold two and a half million copies in the UK alone, so he must be doing something right.

Infact, an amazing one in ten households have his album.

Radio DJ Ben Jones says the reality is that James Blunt has been a surprising, yet hugely successful artist:

“The problem with music critics is that sometimes they are a little up their own backside.”

“They are too immersed in the “what’s cool” in music. Clearly they are wrong.”

“Five Brit nominations. Two million album sales. It’s the biggest selling album in a calendar year ever. I mean, that ain’t just luck!”
