James Blunt may not be cool in the eyes of many but he sure is damn popular in the eyes of many more.
The former army officer has continued his seemingly unstoppable rise towards world domination by claiming the top spot in the US singles chart.
Blunt’s ode to some bird on the train ‘You’re Beautiful’ has made him the first British artist since Elton John in 1997 to hit the number one position in Billboard’s Hot 100 chart.
Meanwhile his album ‘Back To Bedlam’ sits at Number 5 in the US album charts.
Here’s hoping he gets stuck in some sort of Tom Hanks in ‘The Terminal’ episode on his next journey across the pond.
