James Blunt's smash hit debut Back To Bedlam has become the biggest-selling U.K. album of the millennium. The British singer's record has sold 3,020,490 copies - overtaking Dido's No Angel album which had 3,015,703 sales.

Singer James Blunt is suing music producer Lukas Burton, who claims he co-wrote six songs on the crooner's debut album Back To Bedlam. Burton - who has produced tracks for Paul McCartney and Dido - alleges he co-wrote Goodbye My Lover, No Bravery, Cry, I Don't Believe, I Really Want You and Don't Lose Yourself with Blunt and is now seeking royalties from the tracks.

Over 20 years into her storied career, singer Suzanne Vega shows that she remains one of the freshest voices in popular music today with the release of Beauty & Crime, her seventh album.

Paul Weller has tackled Rose Royce's Wishing On A Star and The Magic Numbers attempt Beyonce Knowles' Crazy In Love on a quirky new covers compilation. They're joined by artists like R.E.M., Dido and k.d.lang, covering tunes by Glen Campbell, James Taylor and Leonard Cohen on Sounds Eclectic: The Covers Project, which will be sold exclusively at Starbucks coffee stores across America this spring.
