Elton John Congratulates James Blunt For U.S. #1

The Mirror spoke with Elton John for his thoughts on James Blunt, who is enjoying his hit single ‘You’re Beautiful’ in the US top spot – the first number one for a UK solo artist release stateside in nearly 10 years, and his album ‘Back To Bedlam’ entering the top five. “Congratulations and well done to James, it’s great that someone else has managed to crack it again,” Sir Elt said. “It’s a fantastic single and a fantastic album. It’s great to see another British artist at the top of the charts.”
