Sam Smith

"LOVER" ON TOP: Sam Smith's birthday celebration continues. Capitol's breakout Brit turned 22 yesterday, and this morning found yet another song from his In the Lonely Hour—the haunting "Leave Your Lover"—hitting #1 on the iTunes singles chart (it's #2 as of this writing). "Lover" is one of four instant-grat songs on the deluxe version of the album, which streets 6/17. Meanwhile, Smith's current radio single, "Stay With Me," is blowing up at Pop (where it was #1 Most Added) and other formats. His labelmate Katy Perry's tweet below kinda sums up the vibe just now. We can only imagine what his 23rd birthday will look like. (5/20a)
