British singer/songwriter and 5x Grammy(r) nominee James Blunt recently released his third album, “Some Kind of Trouble.” The album, which includes the international smash “Stay the Night” and the new single “I’ll Be Your Man,” has sold over 1.5 million copies worldwide, bringing Blunt’s total global album sales to a staggering 19 million. Blunt is without question among the most gifted and successful singer/songwriters of his generation. He first captured the world’s attention with his 2x RIAA platinum-certified debut, “Back to Bedlam,” which featured the history-making No. 1 classic, “You’re Beautiful.” “All the Lost Souls” followed two years later, debuting atop the album charts in 10 countries and earning unanimous critical acclaim for such hits as “1973″ and “Same Mistake.”

Minaj debuted her studio album, “Pink Friday,” in 2010, breaking into the Billboard 200. One month after its release, the Recording Industry Association of America certified the album platinum. Minaj is the first artist to have seven songs in the Billboard Hot 100 at one time. “Your Love” reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Rap Songs chart. She is the first artist to top the chart unaccompanied since 2002, and is the first female artist to be included on MTV’s Annual Hot MC List. Minaj is a finalist for four Billboard Music Awards, including Top New Artist, Top Rap Artist, Top Rap Album and Top R&B Song. “The 2011 Billboard Music Awards” air May 22 on ABC.
