In November 2003, Josh released his sophomore album, "Closer," which was again produced by David Foster. Josh brought much more of his own personality, preferences, and style to this CD, playing piano on "Remember When It Rained" and co-writing three of its songs. A lover of world music, Josh collaborated with the French group Deep Forest to write "Remember When It Rained" and "Never Let Go." He also co-wrote the music for "Per Te" with Walter Afanasieff. "Closer" hit number one on the Billboard pop charts on January 6, 2004, and its first single, "You Raise Me Up," gave Josh his first bonafide megahit when it topped the pop charts at #1 in March 2004.
The year that followed was one of enormous successes for Josh. In February 2004, he performed at the preshow tribute to the space shuttle Columbia crew at the Superbowl, then was the subject of a "Vh1 Spotlight" show. That same month, he began his amazing concert tour, which sold out all shows in less than 30 minutes, and was concluded in the US with the taping of a new PBS Special DVD at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles. He performed for nearly a billion viewers at the We Are the Future concert at the Circus Maximus in Rome, then broke AOL records with his Broadband Rocks Live concert, which was viewed by more than 100,000 people on the first night. He was nominated for the World's Best Male Artist and was awarded the AOL Red Member's Choice Award at the 2004 World Music Awards. He was nominated for Favorite Male Artist in the pop/rock category for the 2004 American Music Awards, and for Favorite Male Artist at the People's Choice Awards. The Soundtrack from the motion picture "Troy," for which Josh sang the theme song, was nominated for the 2004 World Soundtrack Award. Josh recorded "Believe," the theme song for the soundtrack to the blockbuster Christmas movie "The Polar Express," which shot to the top of the Adult Contemporary charts, giving him his FOURTH #1 single! His first international tour kicked off in South Africa on November 27th to sold-out crowds, and Josh was presented with his SIX TIMES PLATINUM award for "Closer" in that country. Josh met with Nelson Mandela and volunteered to be enlisted as an ambassador for the global 46664 project in the fight against HIV/AIDS. Josh finished out 2004 with nominations for MTV Asia's "Favorite Male Artist," Critic's Choice and Golden Globe nominations for his song, "Believe," a Pollstar Award nomination for "Best New Touring Artist," and a GRAMMY Award nomination for "Best Pop Vocal Performance." His Closer album finished the year as the #3 top-selling album on the Billboard 200 Charts. The third leg of his first tour, "Josh Groban Live," kicked off January 22nd in Verona, New York, and tickets sold out in venues across the country. The hugely successful tour closed in Sioux City on March 24, 2005.
