sensation, Sam Smith has received not one, not two but six Grammy nominations, including

best new artist.

And the Stay With Me singer could not hide his excitement, tweeting: What is going on?

6 Grammy nominations. Dear lord.

Our Sam has gone from strength to strength after landing the critic's choice prize at

the Brit Awards earlier this year and has had huge success in the US.

His total of six Grammy nominations makes him joint leader with Beyonce' and Pharrell Williams.

Not bad going, indeed.

Smith is shortlisted for album of the year and best pop vocal album for In The Lonely Hour.

And best pop solo and the prized record of the year for Stay With Me.

Good luck, Sam.
