The RIAA has certified Sam Smith’s debut album, In The Lonely Hour, 6x Platinum. The album includes the breakthrough hit “Stay with Me” (certified Diamond by the RIAA in 2020), “I’m Not the Only One” (7x Platinum), “Lay Me Down” (5x Platinum) and the Platinum-certified “Money on My Mind” and “Like I Can.” The new milestone comes as the GRAMMY® winning artist launches a celebration of the 10th anniversary of the album’s release that will continue throughout 2024.

After its May 26, 2014 release in the UK, In The Lonely Hour debuted at No. 1 on the UK Official Albums Chart. Released on June 17, 2014 in the States, In The Lonely Hour entered the Billboard 200 at No. 2 and earned Sam a total of six GRAMMY nominations, including nods in each of the “big four” categories. Sam took home four awards: Best New Artist, Best Pop Vocal Album, Song of the Year (for “Stay with Me”) and Record of the Year (for the Darkchild remix of “Stay with Me”).

The Associated Press gave the album a "Grade A," hailing it as “a passionate, heart-wrenching album," and The Washington Post observed, "‘In The Lonely Hour’ shows off every facet of Smith's voice to goose pimple-raising effect."

Tomorrow, Sam will premiere their debut podcast, "The Pink House," a Lemonade Media show. Each episode of “The Pink House” will hear from Sam as they sit down with an amazing cast of friends and queer cultural icons to share how they all found their own places in the world and share stories of belonging, chosen families, and the journeys we take to become who we’re destined to be. The Pink House is an overarching new brand Sam has created inspired by their childhood home in the English village of Great Chishill called “The Pink House” - a place of total warmth and love where Sam was able to find their voice. Each week, Sam will use “The Pink House” and its different rooms as a backdrop, to explore how each guests’ idea of home and safety has shaped their identity. The first two episodes of “The Pink House” will be available Thursday, June 13th on all major podcast platforms, with new episodes released weekly. Listen to the trailer HERE. Under the roof of The Pink House Sam is in the process of building a charitable foundation intended to provide support for people within the LGBTQIA+ community,
