In other news, Mendes recently scored his first Top 10 spot on the Hot 100 Billboard charts with his popular hit "Stitches."
The song currently sits at No. 9 on the charts, making Mendes one of four Canadian stars to currently hold a top 10 spot. The Weeknd holds the No. 1 spot with his song "The Hills," followed by Justin Bieber with his single "What Do You Mean?" and rapper Drake, whose song "Hotline Bling" holds the third spot.
In August, Mendes discussed his song breaking into the Top 40 and the effect it has had on his fans, reported Billboard.
"It's not easy to have a radio hit," Mendes said. "You can feel the difference between 'Stitches' and my other songs -- when I'm opening for Taylor Swift shows, they'll know the song when I play it. 'Stitches' is very me, and it has connected with my fans in the way I wanted it to. It's a great feeling."
On July 28, the singer released an acoustic version of the popular song with actress and singer Hailee Steinfeld, which was met with a lot of praise from fans.
