Real name Rory Graham, Rag'n'Bone Man pipped Emeli to score the best first week sales for any BRITs Critics' Choice winner ever. Jessie J also scored a huge opening week in March 2011 with Who You Are, with 106,000 sold in its first seven days, while Sam Smith’s In The Lonely Hour shifted an impressive 101,000 in its first week.
