James Blunt Avoids Having To Change His Name As His Album Fails To Reach No.1

The relief 😂

The UK music charts have confirmed that James Blunt won’t have to change his name following the dramatic promise he made to fans.

The British singer re-released his album Back To Bedlam to celebrate its 20th anniversary, and told fans in a social media video that if it reached No.1, he would legally change his name to the most popular suggestion from the general public.

With names like ‘Blunty McBluntface’ and “Blames Junt” being among the most popular suggestions, we’re sure he’s never been more relieved not to make No. 1!
