    What a voice on him.

    Saw a video of him singing 'Bruises' a few months ago & have tried to follow him since. Reminds me of Paolo!

    Hope he does well for himself.

    He's been on the go for a while. A few radio stations are getting behind him now.

    He'll do alright, but will never be big.

    He’ll be big.

    You get Radio 1 on board you have done it. You get Niall Horan on board, even more so.

    I read his last single was track of the week on Radio 1 and 2. It still only peaked at 29 in the charts.

    Virgin are plugging him a lot now. They keep mentioning he's funny on social media?

    It'll be interesting to see what he comes up with next.

    It’s funny, he does that pronouncing words in an odd way when he sings

    When James Arthur does it I * hate it

    When Lewis Capaldi does it I enjoy it

    It has 31 million streams on Spotify, the music industry isn’t as cut and dry as chart position these days.

    Seeing as he has no album here’s a playlist with all his tracks available on Spotify

    Downloads, streams and YouTube views all count towards chart position.

    30 million listens is a fair amount.

    Just having a quick look and I can find a band that has 15m listens for individual track on Spotify and 25+ listens to track on YouTube, but can't fill small venues.

    Which is a third of the streams that Bruises has. Any * acts with 100 million streams?

    He is going to be huge this year.

    ..and aye - he's totally related to Peter Capaldi for anyone else who was wondering.

    How can you filter tracks with 100m+?

    Just looking at the most listened to tracks on Spotify I'd say most fall into the * category. Personal taste and all that.

    I couldn't even tell you who half of the top 100 were and they've got 700m+ streams. Some are one hit wonders, some have completely dropped off the planet from just a couple of years ago. Seems more common for bands to be quickly forgotten about after their initial hype and relentless plugging.

    I'm surprised to see James Arthur pulling over a billion listens for a track.
