Now THAT is how you sell out a show!
Within minutes, show tickets for Sam Smith‘s Madison Square Garden concert in New York City and The Forum in Los Angeles have sold out!
Everything has been happening pretty quickly for the Stay With Me singer! He dropped his debut album earlier this year and now tickets to his stateside shows are selling out like hotcakes!

The month long arena/theatre tour sold out in their respective cities and since there’s such a high demand for the British singer, Sam had to add a second show in El Lay on January 29, 2015!
Selling out MSG is a pretty incredible feat, but Sam hasn’t been the only one to achieve that!
Here are FIVE other artists who accomplished the same deed!
1. Taylor Swift
In 2009 for her Fearless tour, Tay Tay sold out the famous arena in 60 seconds!
2. One Direction
The British boy band sold out Madison Square Garden in 2012 in less than a minute for their Up All Night tour!
3. Justin Bieber
The Canadian pop star reportedly beat both 1D and Taylor by selling out not one but TWO shows in about 30 seconds for his Believe tour! Never underestimate the Beliebers!
4. Britney Spears
Eight years after she performed at Madison Square Garden for the first time, Britney sold out three consecutive show dates at the arena!
5. Spice Girls
The girl group sold out their 2001 show at MSG in 12 MINUTES! It may not be as fast as Taylor, JB or 1D, but that’s a pretty good time for 2001!
