MOST LIKELY TO WIN A GRAMMY
WILL YOUNG
Long before Adam Lambert there was Will Young, who snatched victory in the debut season of Pop Idol, the British forerunner of the now-global franchise. Young’s first single became the fastest-selling debut in U.K. chart history, selling 403,027 copies on its day of release in March 2002. He has had four albums and nine U.K. Top 10 singles in the intervening years, during which he has grown into a graceful, confident neo-soul singer not afraid to embrace his inner gay. His greatest hits album, The Hits, comes out in November.
