"This is truly one of my greatest achievements of 2015. I feel like my work is being recognised on a different level and this is the dream of every artiste," he said.
The singer topped the British pop charts as well as the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States last summer. Globally, Cheerleader has sold over five million copies.

OMI's debut studio album, Me 4 U, is set for an October release on Ultra Music.
Stylo G is currently riding the British pop chart with My Number 1 (Love Me, Love Me, Love Me) featuring Gyptian.
This year, Popcaan made strides in the UK with songs like Where We come From and Bad Inna Real Life. Last year, he teamed with British singer Melissa Steel on the UK Top 10 single Kisses for Breakfast. more
