VIDEO: James Blunt happy to receive 'Worst Album' award 17 years later
"That’s going beside every other award in the world and probably be the one I’m most proud of."
There is no human who can fully say that they are a fan of every single artist, band or song that has ever existed.

That's why every person is permitted to like and dislike whatever they want.
Sometimes, there are instances where there is an overlap and you find artists like Beyoncé and Taylor Swift having some of the biggest fanbases in the world.
You also find bands like Nickelback have anti-fanbases where a massive group of people just collectively decide that they are clearly the worst band in the world.

An artist who has had major success while simultaneously being ridiculed for his music is James Blunt.
The singer catapulted to superstardom when his song, 'You're Beautiful', was released and continued making music that did quite well, but in that time also became somewhat of a meme.
Luckily the singer isn't too serious about it and takes it all in his stride:
And it's taken you a decade to figure that out. @MuzakirAhmed: @JamesBlunt your music's shit

Blunt has received many honours for his work, but most recently he finally received an award for which he had been waiting 17 years.
In 2006, he won the coveted NME 'Worst Album' award, but unfortunately was not invited to the event to accept the award and has never had the physical award in his possession, until now.
Watch his hilariously wholesome response to receiving his "most special" award:
Whether you are a fan of his music or his social media presence, you will be happy to know that he is releasing a new album, a documentary, and book, all while still finding time to troll his haters on Twitter.
