Charli XCX Scores Second Number One Album, Meaning James Blunt Won't Have to Change Name to Blunty McBluntface
It has come to that point where singer-songwriter James Blunt will have to start using the moniker "Blunty McBluntface" when the 20th-anniversary re-release of his back-and-forth smash album Back to Bedlam goes all the way to number one. Well, it appears Charli XCX can technically say she has a second Number One album on her chart - shocking events that ensued after she finally secured the prized spot for her new album with "Good Luck", a song that's caused so much racket in the states.
Only a few days after its release, the Charli XCX album has pushed its way to the top of the charts due in part to its innovative sound and heartfelt lyrics, which have captured the hearts of listeners. Charli XCX took to her social media accounts to thank the fans for their unrelenting support that resulted in achieving the milestone. "I'm so grateful to everyone who has listened and connected with this album! This one's for you!".
For Blunt, the stakes were high, and the funny bet drew the fans and the media. He is known for a light-hearted personality and therefore often relates with his fans through jokes. He even joked on Twitter where he says, "If I had to go through with it, at least I'd have the most fun name in the music business!
This has meant that the success of Charli has saved Blunt from the whim of a name change, so he was able to retain his real name. Fan sets of both supported this across the social media, rejoicing in Charli's triumph and breathing a sigh of relief for Blunt.
Coming from a paradigm of errant musical walks, Back to Bedlam from British singer-songwriter James Blunt, which came out in 2004, became instant gold when singles like "You're Beautiful" and "Goodbye My Lover" flooded the airwaves. This 20th anniversary edition of his album comes out with remastered tracks including new content for all those who will really take that trip down memory lane.
The fact is that while Charli XCX can bask in a world of chart-topping success, Blunt can keep his musical career rolling without donning the additional identity of "Blunty McBluntface." Both the artists have well established themselves in their niches, and their banter is what gives sparkle to the entertainment world.
As if fans won't be going wild long after from celebrating Charli's achievement, they may look forward to more exciting projects from both artists in the future - minus the need for an amusing new name.
