I have picked up on a few articles saying how Brits were occupying the top three album slots in the Billboard charts in the US, and how the Brits were invading etc. . . I found this strange, considering I didn’t know what they were on about. I keep an avid check on the Billboards, so I surely couldn’t have just missed this? Turns out I didn’t.
Reading an article in The Sun newspaper, it turns out that this lady, who a couple of weeks back held the number 2 slot on the Billboard 200 is British, yet is completely unknown in this country. That is absolutely insane. She was part of a group called Floetry which sold well in the US, and she has sinced been signed to a solo deal. Getting advice from Michael Jackson prior to his death, and writing for Alicia Keys has followed, and, now that she has shed somewhere in the region of 5 stone, she has released her debut album Late Nights & Early Mornings to rave reviews. Selling 96,000 copies in the first week, she found herself sandwiched between Adele and Mumford & Sons on the chart.
Yet no-one has heard of her here in her homeland.
Astonishing.
