A LIVERPOOL-born singer is recording huge sales in the States after becoming an R&B megastar.

She entered the US chart at number two with ‘Late Nights and Early Mornings’ – just one place below Adele and above Mumford and Sons.
album shot in behind mega-selling Adele on Billboard’s Top 200 chart after selling 96,000 copies in its first week. It was the first time in more than 25 years that three British acts occupied the top places on the US albums chart.
Marsha, who also topped Billboard’s R&B Albums Chart last week, moved from Merseyside to London aged five.
But she said she tries to come home at Christmas or Easter as the majority of her family still live in Liverpool.
