Camila Cabello released her debut solo album 'Camila' last week and it's already topped the charts in over 100 countries on iTunes. To celebrate that amazing feat pop star Shawn Mendes took to Twitter, to publicly congratulate the former Fifth Harmony singer, who he had previously collaborated with.

Posting a link to Camila's album Shawn tweeted, 'Unbelievably proud of u @Camila_Cabello !!!!!!!! ❤️❤️' sic

Camila then responded to the tweet saying, 'love ya Canada' sic, and retweeted it to her 5.8 million followers.

To celebrate the success of her album Camila decided to celebrate with some 'croquetas'. Taking to Twitter a few days ago she said, 'gonna go celebrate w some croquetas that my album is #1 in 100 countries!!!!!!!! throwback to when we did the shoot for the album in Miami in Lil Havana 🌴🌴🌴🌴🌸🌸🌸 '. sic

The album includes the singer's massive number 1 hit, 'Havana' featuring Young Thug from last year, and 'Never Be The Same' which was released earlier this month.

'Camila' is the first album she has released as a solo artist, following her departure from American group Fifth Harmony. More than a year after she left, she explained her reasons behind her decision to leave the group.

Speaking in a recent interview, the 20-year-old explained that her first solo collaboration with Shawn Mendes in 2015 for ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’, caused tension among the girl group.

She also stated that she felt 'shut out' after wanting to stay in the group while working on a solo album. Camila even offered to write material for the group, but was rejected.

“I was just curious and I wanted to learn and I saw all these people around me making music, writing songs and being so free,” Camila explained.

She went on to say, “I just wanted to do that and it did not work.

“It became clear that it was not possible to do solo stuff and be in the group at the same time.”

Fifth Harmony, who were formed in 2012 during the American version of The X Factor, continue as a four-piece and released their self-titled third album last year.

Now take a look at the pop albums we can't wait to hear this year:
