Naughty Boy's 'La La La' has now sold at least a million copies in the UK

  • June 10, 2014
  • Brad O'Mance

Naughty BoyNaughty Boy and Sam Smith's 'La La La' has now sold over a million copies in the UK, which is nice.

The song passed the sales milestone yesterday and is now the 148th track to do just that since charts began back in November 1952.

But what does featured artist Sam Smith have to say about it all, we hear you cry? Well, this, basically (as quoted here):

"The fact that 'La La La' has sold so many copies and broken so many bound­ar­ies is unbelievable."

"I was actually really worried about releasing that track because I didn't want to be known as a featured artist. I couldn't have been more wrong!"

So there we are.
