In 2008, Mraz released his third studio album, We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things. The album hit number three on the Billboard 200, and was an international success. The single “I’m Yours” was his first top 10 single and peaked at number six on the Billboard Hot 100. The song spent a record 76 weeks on the the Hot 100 chart. The single also racked up two Grammy Awards among six nominations, and led Mraz to winning a prestigious Hal David Songwriter Hall of Fame Award.
