Holes

We say

We might be tempted to point out how apt Brighton singer-songwriter Mike Rosenberg's choice of stage name is starting to look, given the wild ride Passenger has had over the past year or so; but he's very much in the driving seat, with UK media doing its best to keep up. After seven weeks on the Radio 1 A-List, previous single Let Her Go became the third biggest-selling track of 2013 in the UK - the biggest by a British artist - and has now gone global with over 4m sales to its name. The video, which already boasted 17m views when we featured it back in April, now stands at more than 85m less than five months later. Now fan-favourite stomp-along Holes - the next track to be lifted from his gold-certified album All The Little Lights - is sitting on the Radio 2 A-list, with a back-to-busking video that's already doing great numbers. Currently in the middle of a sold-out North American tour, Passenger returns to the UK in October for his biggest headline tour to date, also completely sold out. Quite a ride indeed.

London gigs: Shepherd's Bush Empire, September 18 and 20 (sold out)
