English singer/songwriter Jessie J has clocked her first #1 single. It was announced today that Jessie J’s second single, the B.o.B.-assisted “Price Tag” debuted in the #1 spot on the Official UK Singles chart, unseating Bruno Mars‘ “Grenade” from the top spot. Jessie J‘s first single, “Do It Like A Dude” peaked at #2 when it was released last November and was considered a massive hit, so Jessie J should be doing cartwheels over this achievement. “Price Tag” was produced by Dr. Luke and co-written by Jessie J, Lukasz Gottwald, Claude Kelly, and Bobby Ray Simmons, Jr. The UK release of Jessie J’s debut album, Who You Are (Lava/Universal Republic), has been bumped up to February 28th. It’s due out in America on April 12th. American fans can look forward to “Casualty Of Love,” a new ballad that will serve as the third single, due out February 15th on iTunes.
