GRAMMY-nominated & multi-platinum singer/songwriter Shawn Mendes has released 5 acclaimed studio albums. His latest album, Shawn, which debuted last month, draws deeply from his travels and experiences over the last few years, following the cancellation of his 2022 tour. Representing his most musically intimate and lyrically honest work to date, Shawn guides listeners through a profound self-dialogue with each song. The album was heralded as a “triumph” and a “highlight of the 26-year-old's career” (USA Today).
In 2018 Shawn released his self-titled platinum album, which was also nominated in two categories for the 61st annual GRAMMY® Awards, including “Song of the Year” for “In My Blood” and “Best Pop Vocal Album” for SHAWN MENDES. The same year Shawn debuted his 3x platinum single, “If I Can’t Have You,” at #1 on iTunes and #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Following the GRAMMY nominated album, Shawn’s 2020 album, Wonder, debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200, becoming Shawn's fourth consecutive US number-one album. It also made Shawn the youngest male artist to top the Billboard 200 with four regular studio albums. In 2019, Shawn was nominated for a GRAMMY for “Best Pop Duo/Group Performance” for “Señorita,” his hit single with Camila Cabello. With “Señorita” at #1 and “If I Can’t Have You” at #2, Shawn is the first male solo artist ever to simultaneously hold the #1 and #2 places on the Top 40 chart. Shawn broke onto the scene in April of 2017 with his 6x platinum hit “There’s Nothing Holdin’ Me Back.” The track scored Shawn his second #1 single at Top 40 radio and on Billboard’s Pop Songs chart, joining his 8x platinum single “Stitches.” Shawn has amassed 60 billion global song streams and 20 billion video views over his chart-topping career.
Outside of music, in 2019 Shawn launched The Shawn Mendes Foundation, which seeks to amplify, empower, and uplift youth changemakers, their organizations and their work. SMF works to provide a learning platform for today's youth, and give direct support to causes they are passionate about. As part of its ongoing mission, the Foundation provides resources and support to amplify the voices, messages, and platforms of young leaders driving positive change.
