James Blunt Hits Number 1 and Answers 10 Questions for SheKnows.com
Number 1 selling singer/songwriter James Blunt is the latest musician to be featured on SheKnows.com as part of their "10 Questions with..." music interview series. Exclusive conversations with other artists - including Howie Day, Rob Thomas (matchbox twenty), Lifehouse, The Secret Machines, Snow Patrol and Aqualung - have previously appeared on the site, and new interviews are added regularly.
James Blunt's first album, "Back to Bedlam," has been a huge success all around the globe. One of the Englishman's first coups was keeping the venerable Rolling Stones from topping the UK charts in mid-2005, and his latest achievement includes seeing his song "You're Beautiful" hit number 1 on Billboard's US Hot 100 singles chart after hovering just a breath below the top spot for three weeks. His album, meanwhile, is #5 on the The Billboard 200.
In the SheKnows.com interview, Blunt discusses several topics, including how such success has been a surprise, his backup plan in case his musical career didn't work out, and why topping the charts isn't really the most important thing to him.
And as for how he thinks he's been able to make it where other artists have failed? SheKnows.com got Blunt's perspective on that topic, too. "You know, I wouldn't actually know the answer to that. Maybe my mum just was very good at buying thousands of copies of the album," he laughs.

What is SheKnows? Put simply, SheKnows is an information resource for women. According to a recent eMarketer research report, 91 million women used the Internet in 2005 -- shopping and researching, playing games, socializing and working online. They are checking their horoscopes, finding out about new music and movies, browsing recipes and menu plans for dinner inspiration, reading their favorite blogs, debating politics, joining support networks, researching career opportunities -- among other things. Now women can accomplish all of these tasks -- and so many more -- at one site: SheKnows.com, a one-stop, female-friendly portal destination for busy women. Upcoming music interviews include those with platinum-selling singer/songwriter Jason Mraz, Australian superstar Missy Higgins and a newcomer from the Pacific Northwest, Brandi Carlile.
