Official charts FINALLY reveal which album reached number one… so will James Blunt have to change his name to Blunty McBluntface after all?

As a fan who has been following James Blunt’s career for two decades, I find myself both amused and intrigued by his recent antics. This man, who has kept me consistently entertained with his music and wit, is now offering to change his name if his debut album re-enters the charts at number one. It’s a bold move that only someone as confident and humorous as James could pull off.

After much anticipation, The Official Charts Company has unveiled the top-charting album for this month. Could it be that James Blunt might need a name change now?

If his 2004 Back To Bedlam album, re-released on Friday, October 18, reaches number one on the charts, the 50-year-old musician has vowed to adopt a new stage name: ‘Blunty McBluntface’.

However, it has been verified that James will retain his birth name, as per Charli XCX’s BRAT album’s claim to reach the top position on the Official Albums Chart.

18 years ago, James’ album “Back To Bedlam” achieved its first entry in the top 10 charts, peaking at position number seven.

20 years back, that popular vocalist put out an album titled “Back To Bedlam,” which included massive chart-toppers like “You’re Beautiful,” “High,” “Wisemen,” and “Goodbye My Lover.

The album climbed its way to the number-one position on the UK Albums Chart for several weeks, eventually earning a 10-time Platinum certification.

To mark its 20th anniversary, the Hampshire Star decided to reissue their album and embark on a tour.

In a humorous dream sequence, James’ wife wept tearfully as the popular singer pledged to officially adopt a new name.

Just prior to learning the outcome, the artist famous for “You’re Beautiful” was plagued with regret regarding his major pledge, as he had a troubling dream about potential consequences if he were to alter his stage name.

In a video posted on Instagram on Thursday, James could be seen discussing with his spouse over the phone about the necessity for her to adopt the surname “Mrs Bluntface”.

With feigned enthusiasm, he phones his wife Sofia to share the “fantastic” news that their album has climbed to the top of the charts. However, an apprehensive Sofia voices her concerns about the impending name change.

Trying to reassure her, James is heard saying that McBluntface ‘has a great ring to it’, and that the moniker harks back to her ‘Scottish roots’. 

Yet, James’ words fail to instill confidence when shortly afterwards, one hears him say, “Oh dear, don’t sob,” implying she is crying.

In this scenario, James subsequently includes the couple’s two sons in the phone conversation, and he tells them, “Now we’re known as the McBluntfaces.

Afterwards, the children seemed to express apprehension about how their new name would be received by their friends, with James reassuring them: “Don’t worry, you’ll manage just fine at school, and no one will bully you because of it!

Later, in a playful manner, James humorously commented about the nickname he had received from critics before, saying, “It sounded like ‘old shoe’!

Since 2014, I’ve been honored to be married to the esteemed socialite, Sofia Wellesley. Together, we are blessed with two lovely sons whom we cherish deeply, but we prefer to keep their names private for now.

The video concludes by showing James suddenly jolting awake, looking at the camera, and asserting that everything depicted in the footage was just a troubling nightmare.

Titling his comical update, James wrote: “Things are getting quite scary here. Join me tomorrow at 6pm for the big finale and chart unveiling through @officialcharts.

After James announced on Wednesday that he’s unsure of how long he’ll be required to change his name, he’s now focusing on aiming for the second position in the rankings instead.

When asked by Good Morning Britain hosts Richard Madeley and Susanna Reid about how long he might maintain the name, he responded: “I’m not certain about the maximum legal duration, as research on it isn’t extensive.

He warned his fans: ‘The British public would have to live with the shame of buying a James CD. The race is on for number one, I’d be happy for number two.

I hope it doesn’t reach the top spot. If it does, my wife might revert to her birth name again.

Besides voicing his remorse over the outcomes of his pledge, he acknowledged that it was an act of ‘foolishness.’

He shared: ‘The people I pity more is my family. I feel it was stupid of me, really, to offer to change my name if you got to number one because of the consequences.’ 

James added: “I believe that the British people, they’d rather avoid… purchasing and possessing a James Blunt album, could serve as a strong enough disincentive.

The reveal over what the public had chosen after a vote was made in a sketch video posted on his social media last week.

The reveal was made in the sketch video showing him trying to enter a Warner Music Group building, only to be stopped by the front desk as they wouldn’t accept his name as ‘James Blunt’. 

Afterward, he attempts entry with some popular options such as ‘Jimmy Spliff,’ ‘Blames Junt,’ ‘Divock Origi,’ ‘James Cocking Fun,’ and ‘Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Pop Star Four-Chord Song Maker.’ However, none of these names grant him access.

Looking deflated his final guess is then ‘Blunty McBluntface,’ and he is finally granted access. 

He then mutters ‘People have no imagination,’ to which the front desk receptionist replies, ‘The people have spoken.’

In an Instagram post, singer James Blunt earlier shared: ‘I’m James Blunt, and you hold the ability to significantly impact my life.’

It’s been circulating, and I must confirm it – my first album, Back To Bedlam, is coming out again on October 11. This release, happening after two decades, has remained a consistent source of wealth for me.

“If ‘Back To Bedlam’ ranks first on the charts again, I’ll express my gratitude by changing my legal name. And the new name? That decision is in your hands.

Here are a few options for paraphrasing the original statement while maintaining its essence:

After that, he stated: ‘However, if it fails to reach the top spot, you can be certain that I won’t alter my name. It’s fair to assert that this is the most critical democratic event of the entire year.’
