Sam Arena

WE'RE ON THE LIST—CHECK AGAIN: Did you catch Capitol's Sam Smith at the Troubadour or the Mercury Lounge last year? Well, consider yourself very fortunate, because the breakout singer/songwriter has graduated to arenas and large theaters. His upcoming North American tour, kicking off in January, will find him belting in venues like NYC's Madison Square Garden, L.A.'s Forum, Nashville's Grand Ole Opry, Atlanta's Fox Theatre, Seattle's Key Arena and Vancouver's Rogers Arena, among other spacious stages. Meanwhile, Smith's singles "I'm Not the Only One" and "Stay With Me" are at #9 and #12 at iTunes, respectively, while his album sits at #5. He's now finishing up his U.K. dates and will be in NYC for a VH1 You Oughta Know concert shortly thereafter. (10/16p)
