James Blunt 'asks friends to buy album'
Published Saturday, Nov 20 2010, 13:50 GMT | By Colin Daniels
According to The Sun, the singer sent an email out requesting they purchase Some Kind Of Trouble, saying that he is depending on word of mouth to promote the LP because of the "cynical" media.
The email apparently read: "Dear friends and friends of friends. My third album is out today. It's taken over a year to make and I promise it's got some really great songs on it.
"With a slightly cynical UK media, I am totally dependent on word of mouth, so I hope you don't mind me emailing you. You can buy it most easily at Tesco. Or order it online."
Some Kind Of Trouble entered the UK album chart at number four on Sunday.
