"Fast Car" was a big hit for Chapman, 50, and earned her the Grammy for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. She is also known for hits such as "Give Me One Reason" and "Baby Can I Hold You." 

Smith became famous in the United States earlier this year thanks to his hit ballad "Stay With Me" and is currently promoting his latest release, the song "I'm Not the Only One," which he also performed on the radio program. Smith performed "Stay With Me" at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards on Aug. 24.

"It's scary though," he told BBC Radio 1, regarding his success abroad. "When I did the VMAs, before I felt like I should be twerking or something. There's so much twerking going on in that place."

Smith told the outlet he has already started to write songs for his second album and even has a title and art work in mind. Meanwhile, on Sept. 15, Smith is set to begin a month-long U.S. tour to promote his debut record, In the Lonely Hour. Tickets are sold out.

He also talked about what he will miss most about home.

"Milk," he said. "Milk just isn't the same over there. Fish and Chips. My mum."
