Twitter was sent into a frenzy earlier today when an unsolicited email containing a link to [uuid=7f43a213-d191-4442-b34d-6fae7a16ed26]James Blunt[/uuid]'s new single Bonfire Heart was sent out to thousands of people by mistake!

After baffled recipients took to the social networking site, Blunt's label Warner Music revealed that the email - entitled 'I'd like you to be the first to hear my new single' - was distributed due to a "clerical error."

A label spokesperson told Digital Spy: "This morning an email regarding James Blunt's new single was sent to users who have subscribed his mailing list."

"Due to a clerical error, the email was accidentally serviced to some users who had subscribed to mailing lists for other Warner Music artists."

39-year-old Blunt later commented on the gaff, tweeting: "Oops... Just emailed the whole of the UK by mistake! Ha!"
