Shawn has had one of the greatest years of his career this year from selling out Madison Square Garden to topping charts with his sophomore album Illuminate. I'm so extremely proud of him for everything he has achieved career and personally.
Just some of the things the iconic legend, Shawn Mendes, has done in 2016 (most of these facts are from the twitter account@/ShadyShawnFact ) :
•Have IKWYDLS hit platinum and gold and win an award •Have Treat You Better become #1 in less than 24 hours •Sell Out MSG in 5 minutes •Win 2 EMAs (Best Male and Best Canadian Act Worldwide) •Have Illuminate debut #1 on Billboard Top 200 Album Chart •Have Illuminate reach #1 in 65 countries •Have Stitches be the 18th most viewed music video of 2016, despite it being a single in June/July 2015 •Have Mercy hit #1 on ITunes Charts •Have Illuminate be the 3rd most streamed album, debut week on Spotify •Have Stitches and Treat You Better be one of the best selling songs of 2016 •Have Illuminate be the only 2016 male artist album to have 2 songs reach #1 on US iTunes Charts •Be #4 on Billboard's Top Male Artists of 2016 year-end chart •Be #10 on Billboard's Biggest Artists of 2016 •Have Treat You Better (and Stitches 2015) be the best selling song(s) by a solo teen artist for the last 2 years •Be the biggest artist to come out of Vine •Have Illuminate be one of the fastest selling albums of 2016 •Continue his infamous Notes From Shawn on his birthday •Fund the building for a school (Pencils of Promise Foundation) in for African children •Appear on TIMES list of Most Influential Teens 2016 •Sell out his Illuminate World Tour 2016 •Have Treat You Better be one of the most streamed songs of 2016 on Spotify •Be the 17th most charitable celebrity of 2016 [I remember reading this once] •Turn 18 •Graduate high school •Get accepted into Cambridge University [I believe that it is the name of it] •Get his first tattoo
That's only some of the shit I could find before getting tired of stanning such a talented artist. Lol but for real LOOK AT ALL OF THAT. A little bummed that he didn't get the Grammy nom, but it's cool cuz it doesn't make him any less amazing.
I'm sooooooooooooooooooooo proud of my boy. I can't wait to see what will come in 2017.
