SAM SMITH ands his first No. 1 album
Sam Smith's “The Thrill of It All” debuted at No. 1 in both the US and the UK, making it his first No. 1 album in the US. His debut, “In the Lonely Hour”, peaked at No. 2 in July 2014, led by Lana Del Rey's “Ultraviolence” in its first week and by fellow Brit pop star Ed Sheeran's “x” in its second.
“The Thrill of It All” is the third album by an Englishman to reach No. 1 in both the US and the UK so far this year, following the footsteps of Sheeran and Harry Styles.
Smith's current hit, “Too Good at Goodbyes”, rebounded from No. 10 to No. 4 in its ninth week on the Hot 100, making it his highest ranking to date.
Smith is a past Grammy winner for Best New Artist, as is Maroon 5, which enters the Billboard at No. 2 with “Red Blue Pills”. Each of the group's last five albums has reached No. 1 or No. 2.
