MTV News recently caught up with British pop artist Taio Cruz, fresh from a visit to Miami’s annual Winter Music Conference this past weekend, a visit that saw him meeting the likes of Paul Oakenfold, Steve Aoki and old buddy David Guetta. Now back in New York, little has changed — he still holds the record for the largest jump for a debut artist in Billboard history. His first single, “Break Your Heart” (featuring Ludacris), jumped 52 places, landing at the #1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 two weeks ago. Not bad for a newcomer from England who has yet to release his debut album in the U.S.

“It was quite unbelievable,” Cruz gushed. “Obviously ‘Break Your Heart’ did very well in the U.K. It was #1 in the U.K. for three weeks, and that was exciting in itself. My manager and I, we were all staying in a cool apartment overlooking the Hollywood sign — so we’re standing out on the deck going, ‘#1! This is awesome!’ The Billboard #1 came about a week later and the massive jump — being the biggest jump in the history of Billboard — it’s insane. It feels good.”

“Break Your Heart” is still a top-five single, but that hasn’t stopped Cruz from letting his new U.S. fans know that they can look forward to Ke$ha being featured on his next single, a song provocatively titled “Dirty Picture.”
