Sunny Side Up by Paolo Nutini
Sunny Side Up is an album by Paolo Nutini, released in 2009. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 8 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Candy”, on 8 lists with a best position of #55.
Sunny Side Up, the second album from Paisley singer-songwriter Paolo Nutini, came out on Atlantic in late May 2009 in Ireland and on 1 June in the UK. Nutini recorded it himself with his band the Vipers, with Ethan Johns helping on production and the mix, and the guest list is a treat: trombonist Rico Rodriguez and Questlove both drop by.
It's a loose, playful record that lives up to its title, with a ska lilt in its step and Nutini's raspy, old-soul croon out front. "Candy" is the song from it that made the countdowns. It debuted at number one in the UK, went back to the top on 3 January 2010 to become the first number-one album of the new decade, and ended up the eighth best-selling album of 2009 there. It also won Best Album at the Ivor Novello Awards and Best International Album at the Meteor Awards. Caustic Love was next.
