the lead by total six nods by now.
Sam Smith is the man of music whose album ‘In the lonely hour’ sale was a history in the United
States earning him a record of highest debut album selling. The said album was sold more
copies in its first week of release than any other British male singer’s first presentation in the
23yrs long account of SoundScan. It crossed the threshold at the Billboard 200 with No. 2
standing and has been certified Platinum by the RIAA. The Associated Press flagged it down as
"a passionate, heart-wrenching album" while The Washington Post said, "'In the Lonely Hour'
brags all aspects of Smith's voice to goose pimple-raising upshot."
The story of success doesn’t end here as the singer’s latest sensation “I'm Not the Only One,"
has recently been certified Platinum in the United States and marks his third Top-10 smack on
Billboard's Hot 100 in the year of 2014, earning him an achievement that is simply matchless by
any other male singer in the same year. It goes after his 4x multi-Platinum awe-inspiring hit,
"Stay With Me," that was found playing across eight radio formats and mounted to No. 1 at five

The year of 2014 is proving itself a lucky period for hit maker and has given him many
