Already a massive star in her native U.K., with one million singles sold, two No. 1 hits, and three No. 1 Airplay records to her credit, soulful pop singer and actress Pixie Lott is set to unleash her sizable talent Stateside this summer. Interscope Records will release Lott's debut U.S. single, "Boys and Girls," via all digital service providers on August 24th. The high-energy dance-pop jam "Boys and Girls" is 19-year-old Lott's second consecutive No. 1 single in the U.K., following her blockbuster debut "Mama Do (Uh Oh, Uh Oh)," which entered both the iTunes and U.K. Singles charts at No. 1 after its video racked up more than three million views on YouTube in June 2009. The track is just a taste of what's to come when Lott releases her debut album, Turn It Up, in the U.S. in early 2011. Already certified double-platinum in the U.K., Turn It Up features Lott's songwriting collaborations with Red One (Lady Gaga), Greg Kurstin (Lily Allen, Sia), Toby Gad (Beyonce, Fergie), Cutfather and Jonas Jeburg (Kylie Minogue, Pussycat Dolls), and Kara DioGuardi. In addition to releasing five singles in the U.K., Lott has scored three No. 1 Airplay tracks. She is the only U.K. or international recording artist of the last 10 years to have three debut singles hit No. 1 on the U.K. Airplay chart. She has also earned three BRIT Award nominations (including Breakthrough Artist) and a Q Award nomination, and won two MTV Europe Music Awards. This summer, Lott has appeared as support on the British leg of Rihanna's "Last Girl on Earth" Tour.
