You think he’s big now? Wait until the album comes out next Tuesday.

Daniel Powter and his eponymous debut have been beating artists like red-headed stepchildren on iTunes, and now get this: His single “Bad Day,” which is still only available via download, just hit Number One. And get this: there are some songs on the album that are even better. (My favorite is “Suspect,” which sounds like AC/DC’s Brian Johnson doing a dance track.)

You can’t stop him; you can only hope to contain him.
