ABOUT LEWIS CAPALDI
After topping the U.K. Official Singles chart for a nearly unprecedented seven weeks, Lewis Capaldi’s “Someone You Loved” hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in its 24 consecutive week on the tally and is the first #1 single from a debut U.K. artist since February 2016. Worldwide streams of the track are approaching two billion. Already certified Platinum by the RIAA, “Someone You Loved” has now earned 2.5 million equivalent song units in the U.S. It is certified Platinum or greater in a total of 18 countries. Capaldi’s debut album, Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent, is the fastest selling UK debut of 2019 with 90,000 albums sold in the first week. To date, it has sold over 1.5 million adjusted albums worldwide and combined global streams now exceed 2.6 billion. The 23-year-old Scottish singer-songwriter recently wrapped a sold-out headline tour of North America and his March 2020 tour of the UK and Ireland sold out in mere seconds, making him the first artist in history to sell out arenas prior to the release of a debut album. Capaldi was hailed as a 2018 Vevo “DSCVR Artist To Watch” and a 2019 Vevo “LIFT Artist,” longlisted for the BBC Sound Of 2018 Poll and won “Breakthrough Artist of the Year” honors at the Scottish Music Awards. He was nominated for the BRIT Awards Critics’ Choice award and named an MTV UK PUSH Ones To Watch artist.
ABOUT FLETCHER
Fletcher’s debut EP – you ruined new york city for me – is out now on Capitol Records. The EP is a highly personal story of first love and heartbreak and features Fletcher’s breakout hit “Undrunk,” which has amassed more than 100 million streams worldwide, since earning the #1 spot on Spotify’s Viral Chart. The EP also includes follow up singles, “If You’re Gonna Lie” and “All Love.” Fletcher made her late-night TV debut on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon with “Undrunk,” which spent several weeks on the Billboard Hot 100. Noted as the fastest rising song at Pop radio from a new artist in the last five years, she also earned impressive slots on Wango Tango, The iHeartRadio Music Festival and Z100’s upcoming Jingle Ball at Madison Square Garden this year. Fletcher has been performing sold out headline tours of both North America and Europe, with sets at Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, Life is Beautiful and other prominent festivals already under her belt. The singer-songwriter, who somehow also found time to graduate from NYU’s famed Clive Davis Institute for Recorded Music, has already begun carving out a space for herself in Pop music. PAPER states Fletcher is “one of the most exciting female artists to emerge in Pop,” and it’s clear that she has much more to say.
