BRITs Critics Choice winner Sam Smith looks well on his way to an Official Number 1 debut solo single this weekend, the Official Charts Company can confirm.
As final preparations are laid for tonight’s BRIT Awards 2014, Critics’ Choice winner Sam Smith is poised to celebrate another potential gong this weekend, as debut release Money On My Mind leads the singles race by a margin of almost two to one.
In 2013, Sam scored a Number 1 on the Official Singles Chart with his Naughty Boy collaboration La La La, but now he’s going it alone for 2014 and looks set for a fantastic year. La La La is also nominated for Best British Single and Best British Video at 2014’s BRIT Awards – if it wins, Sam could have triple reason to celebrate come Sunday!
Money On My Mind will be Sam’s third Top 40 hit – Latch, his collaboration with fellow BRIT nominees Disclosure, was a Number 11 hit in 2012.
Aside from Sam Smith’s Money On My Mind (1) and Say Something from A Great Big World and Christina Aguilera (2), new at Number 12 is M.A.D. with Fame & TV, their second Top 40 hit. Their first, Toyboy, reached Number 37 last year.
Highest climber this week, and making their Top 40 debut on the Official Singles Chart are Canadian duo Tegan & Sara, who have teamed up with American comedy group Lonely Island (also making their Top 40 debut) on Everything Is Awesome. The track, which features on the soundtrack to The Lego Movie, leaps 41 places to debut at Number 24 in today’s Update.
