Singer Ryan Beatty barely released his first-ever EP 12 hours ago and it's already climbing the iTunes charts.
Because of You currently sits at No. 1 on the pop charts right behind Frank Ocean and No. 7 on the overall charts, surpassing boy band sensation One Direction, Adele and Justin Bieber.
"Woke up to see my EP.. NUMBER #2 on the pop charts and #9 on the iTunes charts?! THANK YOU! LET'S GO FOR #1!!" the 16-year-old tweeted this morning.
Stars like Bella Thorne, Ariana Grande and Cody Simpson's sister Alli have already tweeted their support and fans have been trending #BecauseOfYou since before midnight last night.
When a fan tweeted that she'd cry if it hit the coveted No. 1 spot, Ryan tweeted back simply, "Dont worry, so will I."
After listening to the 6-track EP, I'm beyond impressed, but not at all surprised. Since Ryan started singing covers in front of those now-famous bunkbeds, he's been adamant about not making a typical teen album just to satisfy other people. He promised to make it "100% Ryan Beatty" for his loyal fans who have been there since the beginning.
"Without them, I would not be sitting here and be doing the things I do and getting to work on new music and get to live my dream, so it’s because of them that I’m doing all this," he recently told me. "This EP is really dedicated to them and dedicated to what they’ve done for me."
The album includes his next single, "Hey LA." Click here to buy the EP!
