I think "I Am" will make the top 100 on iTunes at least come late August/early September and BBC Radio 2 A-list. Although shame it hasn't cracked the top 200 today yet, but I think that's due to it being an instagrat and instagrat sales not reflecting on the iTunes singles chart.
Hoping the video for "I Am" will be amazing. That's some that let "Fire Under My Feet" down, it hardly got much play on the music channels - it never charted in the top 50 TV play chart. I think with strong BBC Radio 2/Magic support and decent video play (Top 40 on the TV play chart) I think "I Am" could go top 100 on the singles chart and the album top 5. |

This is awful
 Soooo bland. Thunder is really growing on me actually and I'd prefer that a single. Just cannot take to this at all, I thought from the clip it would be good.

I'm losing a lot of momentum and excitement for Leona and this era. I mean, I'm looking forward to hearing the album in full, of course - but the tracks so far have been nothing more than 'nice'. Nothing near the feelings I had when I first heard, 'Bleeding Love', 'Happy', 'One More Sleep'. It doesn't help that Island are just throwing out her songs like she has the fanbase of Taylor Swift have to see her new single at 374 the day after release.

They have to give the UK another single in between FUMF and the album release and they probably know that without Capital/Radio 1/Heart, the single won't set the charts alight which is why they are focusing on America in order for her success there to influence UK radio. |

Basically what I thought 2 months ago but the label could have push leona on the singles chart with more radio friendly singles like IGY 2 that would gather her a better first week album sales than what she will have now choosing these other more "album seller" singles that brought her to not recover on the singles chart and to not sell the album at all..honestly realistically speaking she will open maybe 15k..and than plummet the week after like a rock So she is loosing twice...the best we can hope at this point is that thunder become a small hit in usa..

I really like 'I Am'. I feel like if it belonged to a previous album era then fans would be loving it! It's wonderfully produced and I can hear Leona's passion in her voice. This song and 'Thunder' have restored my faith that the album could be a great listen, after the disappointing 'Fire Under My Feet'.
Edit: To mention more about the production, I love the Massive Attack vibe to it. |

I prefer this song to fire under my feet but its not commercial enough to do well. The fact the physical CD of the album is no longer available on Amazon doesn't help.

#863 on UK iTunes - surprised it hasn't fallen out the top 1500. Also the album pre-order is at #562 on iTunes. Makes me confident that "I Am" will sell the album well. Airplay should start in 2 weeks time. Hopefully the video will be really good and get lots of play on the TV channels.

I wouldn't get too carried away with the album pre-orders, being at #562 is probably something like 5 or 10 pre-orders in the last day or so. With 'I Am' being a new instant grat it'd have been nice to have seen it in the top 300 at least as that should've given it a boost.
Hopefully we start see worthwhile increases once 'I Am' is playlisted! |

Well considering it was outside the top 1500 for quite a few weeks despite FUMF getting very strong airplay from BBC Radio 2, I don't think it's getting too carried away. Also, instagrat sales don't count towards the iTunes singles chart - otherwise I think it would've cracked the top 200. It did manage to go top 300 though - peaked at #238 from what I remember. |

I was referring to the album going top 300, because with the release of 'I Am' that should create a lot more pre-orders as people pre-order the album to get 'I Am' instantly, but it hasn't created as many as I would've liked. But it's still an improvement anyway like you say!

Also, "I Am" isn't album-only, so they can just download the single from the album rather than pre-order the album to get the song. Or at least I don't think it is?

Yeah I know, you can download it individually. But most artists usually use instant grats as a way of drumming up pre-orders using the line "pre-order my album now and get these tracks instantly", so that's why I'd have hoped it'd drum up a few more pre-orders than it has.But like you say, it's on the way up anyway so hopefully it will stay stable and climb properly once airplay of 'I Am' begins!
