It looks like Sam Smith is this year’s Adele. The soul crooner took home four Grammys, including Song of the Year and Record of the Year at the awards ceremony Sunday night (Feb. 8).
He didn’t win the highly coveted trophy for Album of the Year, but he was more than excited to receive his final two awards, which were earned for his song ‘Stay With Me.’ The dominance isn’t the only thing that links Smith and Adele. Both of their albums come from heartbreak.
“I wanna say thank you so much to the man I fell in love with last year,” Smith said. “Thank you for breaking my heart because you got me four Grammys.”
He also earned the top honor for Best New Artist and Best Pop Vocal Album for his lauded effort ‘In the Lonely Hour.’
Heartbreak win Grammys and Grammys cause album sales to spike. So congrats to Smith for his big wins.
