[edit] Back to Bedlam ww sales
The discography states that the album has sold 8 million copies worldwide because of this Warner Music Group press release. The album's page says it sold 10 million, but please do not change this total until it can be backed by a source. -- Underneath-it-All 01:57, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Cover Songs
"I Want You" - Bob Dylan, found on the compilation Listen to Bob Dylan: A Tribute (2005) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 129.170.49.8 (talk) 23:59, 24 February 2007 (UTC).
"Where is my mind?" - Original is from Pixies, Placebo song is another cover.
[edit] Propose for deletion
The man has 1 album, and 4 singles.There is no need to have as seperate discography page for him. no other artists get lists of unreleased songs mentioned, so there really is no need for this page.
[edit] Missing his "Monkey on My Shoulder" EP
Monkey on My Shoulder EP ("From the original Demo Collection")
- Cry
- High
- Sugar Coated
- Goodbye My Lover
- Butterfly
I think this was a bonus CD that came with Back to Bedlam only at Target stores in the US. Antmusic 04:28, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] New single
The new singel is Carry You Home or I Really Want You? Carry You Home is on swiss chart on 16 place, and I Really Want You is on 100? on Canadian chart. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.65.195.85 (talk) 11:25, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
- The next single, according to some recent interviews Blunt has given, is "Same Mistake." According to some information on his website, the video is currently being filmed in Canada. I think what is being seen with Carry You Home and I Really Want You is the power of consumers to make their own decisions about what songs they like, as the songs are not receiving radioplay in the respective markets. The label may yet release one or both of these as "official" singles in the future, although it may be a moot point if the songs take off by themselves, just as happened when Goodbye My Lover was released as a single in the US after it had already been massively downloaded after television appearances there. It didn't make a significant dent in the charts with the official release. Risker 14:20, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

- When adding the second single from All the Lost Souls please cite a source. Some editors have just been adding random songs to the article, and this makes Wikipedia look like a poor source to get information from. -- Underneath-it-All 14:10, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

- I agree with Underneath-it-All. So far, the only confirmable sources I've found referring to the second single have been in radio interviews, which have relatively unstable links (if any) and aren't particularly good reference sources. If, however, other editors think this might be considered reliable enough, I could try to dig out the right ones. "Same Mistake," incidentally, was used in a television program the other night and I suppose that might be notable enough to put into the article about the album. Risker 18:22, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

I am going to remove Carry You Home from the singles category. It has NOT been released as a single. Blunt just finished filming the video for Same Mistake in Toronto Canada on October 5th. Carry You Home has done very well in the download chart, but that doesn't mean it has been released as a single. Risker 12:36, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Je Realise
I don't think that this song should be there with the other singles, maybe someone can make a new topic, like Collaborations or sth like that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.65.194.39 (talk) 09:17, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
