Sunny Side Up is the second studio album by Scottish singer and songwriter Paolo Nutini, released on 29 May 2009 in Ireland and 1 June 2009 in the United Kingdom.[1][2] Nutini and his band, the Vipers, embarked on a brief tour of the United States before a UK tour leading up to the album's release.[3][4] The album debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart. Nutini self-recorded the album with his band the Vipers, while Ethan Johns contributed to the mixing and production.[5] Notably, the album includes guest appearances from trombonist Rico Rodriguez and Questlove.[5]

The album was the eighth best-selling album in the United Kingdom in 2009[6] and the sixth best-selling album in 2010.[7] On 3 January 2010, Sunny Side Up topped the UK Albums Chart for a second time, making it the first number-one album in the United Kingdom in 2010 and the entire decade.[8][9][10][11][12]

On 19 February 2010, Colin Farrell presented Nutini with "Best International Album" for Sunny Side Up at the 2010 Meteor Awards.[13] On 20 May 2010, Sunny Side Up won Best Album at the Ivor Novello Awards.[14] The album was nominated for MasterCard British Album at the 2010 BRIT Awards.
