Singer-songwriter James Blunt has become the first UK artist to top the American singles chart since 1997.

‘You’re Beautiful’ from his debut album ‘Back to Bedlam’ is at number one on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart, which is drawn from a combination of record sales and airplay.

He is the first UK artist to hit Number One since Sir Elton John spent 14 weeks at poll position with ‘Candle in the Wind’/ ‘Something in the Way You Look Tonight’ nine years ago.

His debut album ‘Back to Bedlam’ is also scoring high in the US, currently ranked at number five on Billboard 200.

Congratulations to James for Making the top Spot!
