If James Blunt’s Album Goes To Number 1, He Will Allow Fans To Pick His New Legal Name

Buy Me A Coffee

James Blunt is about to make one of the most blunt moves in music history! (Yes, pun 100% intended.)

The 50-year-old crooner behind the forever stuck in your head hit “You’re Beautiful” is so desperate for a number one album, he’s willing to do something truly outrageous: change his name. And not just to anything sensible like “James The Great” or “Sir Sings-a-Lot,” but to whatever wild, ridiculous name his fans come up with. That’s right—he’s putting his whole identity in the hands of the internet. What could possibly go wrong?

Blunt is re-releasing his album Back to Bedlam for its 20th anniversary, and instead of, you know, just hoping people will enjoy the nostalgia trip, he’s decided to spice things up. He’s basically thrown a digital dart at a board full of chaos and said, “Wanna wreck my life? Let’s do it.”

Here’s the deal: If the album hits number one again, Blunt will legally change his name to whatever the internet hivemind votes on. Yes, this is a man who clearly hasn’t been on the internet long enough to know that asking the masses for name suggestions is like inviting a tornado to your picnic. He laid it all out in an Instagram post, like a true daredevil with a death wish:

“Wanna ruin my life? If the 20th Anniversary Edition of my album Back To Bedlam re-enters the charts at number 1, I will legally change my name – to whatever you guys decide. Comment on this post below with suggestions for my name change, or like someone else’s comment to vote.”

Now, if you think the suggestions were going to be things like “James the Legend” or “Chart Topper Blunt,” oh dear friend, how sweet and innocent you are. One suggestion, in particular, has surged to the top of the list, crushing the competition like a giant anvil in a cartoon:

Blunty McBluntface. Yes, you heard that right. As if one Blunt wasn’t enough, this one’s got an extra dose of Bluntness. And with over 27,000 likes on that single comment, it’s looking like Mr. McBluntface could be a real thing. Imagine the headlines: “Blunty McBluntface Wins Grammy, Thanks Fans for Ruining His Life.”

The best part? This isn’t even over yet. The album drops on October 11th, and until then, it’s a wild race to the finish line. Will James Blunt’s quest for chart domination lead him to eternal glory, or will he forever be known as the man who dared to dream and ended up with a name that sounds like a rejected Teletubby? Only time will tell!

Stay tuned, grab your popcorn, and prepare for the saga of a lifetime: “The Rise and Fall of Blunty McBluntface.”
