Featuring Calvin’s triple-platinum hit “Summer,” in addition to the just-released chart-climber “Blame (feat. John Newman),” Motion follows his 2012 album 18 Months, which has sold more than 2 million albums and 35 million singles worldwide. “Blame” is Calvin’s fastest-selling and charting U.S. single to date; in just 4 weeks the song is already Top 15 at pop radio, with airplay at over 200 monitored multi-format stations across the country; the single also debuts at Rhythmic this week. “Blame” recently broke the record for most streams in a single week at Spotify. The official video for “Blame” has been viewed more than 25 million times between VEVO and YouTube.
Meanwhile, Calvin’s smash “Summer”—named one of the top songs of the summer by numerous outlets including Billboard, CNN, Entertainment Weekly, TIME and Buzzfeed—has now been certified triple platinum, selling nearly 3 million downloads worldwide and hitting #1 at iTunes in more than 50 countries.
