Pharrell Williams has every reason to be happy, besides having his Oscar-winning single “Happy” continuing with its reign on the top of the iTunes charts and in the #1 spot on Billboard’s Hot 100 for the third straight week. Williams’ just-released album G I R L shot to the #1 spot in the U.K., France, Switzerland, and Belgium as well as the #2 spot on the Billboard 200.
Williams’ new album also immediately hit the top three in sales in Canada, Australia, Germany, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Denmark, Ireland, and Sweden. It also scored the top position on iTunes in the US. G I R L features duets with Alicia Keys and Justin Timberlake and “guest appearances” by Miley Cyrus, Daft Punk, and JoJo.
And as if the popularity of “Happy” and G I R L aren’t enough good news for one artist, Williams is also part of the soundtrack to The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Williams co-wrote and produced “It’s On Again,” the lead song by Alicia Keys featuring Kendrick Lamar. He’s also featured on the film’s score by Hans Zimmer and The Magnificent Six.
