Leona burst onto our screens 12 years ago and had achieved 7 top 10 hits not including her Number 1 Hits. Please vote for the best song, comments would be great too.

Anyway I ended up plumping for One More Sleep, as she really came through with one of the best Christmas songs in years and when everyone thought only the classics would return each year she really delivered with it. It would have been incredible if that reached number 1.

It is the odd one out with regards to all the songs Leona has released as lead artist. The lyrics just don’t fit Leona, so never felt like there is any genuine conviction behind it. It is just Leona singing a song they thought would please the US market (where it didn’t even end up getting a single release :/).

Happy is nice, and could of had that impact, but didnt in the end. Trouble is also nice but BIT is just light years ahead for me and gutted it missed #1 by a few hundred copies in UK and just missed top 10 in US!
