It's a real shame "Collide" is well below 150k. Really under achieved and isn't a good sign for the album. Hope she can turn this around, the promotion for the song was messed up completely.

Westlifes new single got #32, But it didn't stop there greatest hits selling over 95k last week, Leona as become more of a Album seller then single these days, I wouldn't worry about it yet ''Collide'' was handled terrible court cases, Only one show to promote it, Video a week before! Theres no wonder the single underperformed! Plus by the looks of it now ''Collide'' is being used as a ''Buzz single'' This post has been edited by WithUrCher: 1st December 2011, 12:25 AM |

I don't know, I think had the label acted on this quickly they could've minimsed the damage of this, but pushing the album back to next year when the sales are lower and it's not in a great position anyway will be VERY damaging. They need to stop trying to think she'll automatically sell on name alone now, Spirit was a long time ago.
'Collide' grew on me quite a bit in the end, but I can see exactly why it didn't do great. This post has been edited by Silver Rocket: 1st December 2011, 09:29 PM |

Well it would be Afrojack collecting the award, but it is a very good remix, so I hope it does win

She should have done this song for her lead single tbh... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xXtAhX-eiM Would have been a smash hit.

Just reading back through the thread and found some of my replies:
QUOTE(RC741 @ Jul 15 2011, 06:03 PM) I'm surprisingly underwhelmed after first listen and for me (I rarely say this), her worst single so far. I really hope after a few more listens I love it so I will do that now I can't believe I thought that about 'Collide'!  QUOTE(RC741 @ Jul 15 2011, 10:03 PM) I've had a couple more listens and it has gone from 'underwhelming' to 'this is actually pretty good'. So I'm getting there Oh, at least I started to appreciate its amazingness!  QUOTE(RC741 @ Aug 28 2011, 11:39 PM) It took me about 10 listens to start to think this is actually quite decent - and from that point every listen gets better and better and now I think it's awesome!  Woohoo! 'Collide' really was the ultimate grower, and now my favourite Leona song I think! And it's perfect for summer and so anthemic!  QUOTE(RC741 @ Sep 2 2011, 06:18 PM) I know it's not very relevant, but I'm getting more confident of Collide getting to UK #1  Not quite!  She still did great though!

This song still sounds amazing. One of the best songs from 2011.

One of the shopping centres in my town plays this pretty much on loop and it gets so irritating after a while! I have a theory she approached them and bribed them to do it in order to help the song become known.

A great single Collide was and it baffles me greatly why it didnt sell in larger quantities.

I did notice this was included in the front page ‘this is avicii’ playlist.
Leona has been a bit quiet regarding this compared to other celebs that have links with Avicii. I am guessing it is a ‘if you got nothing nice to say, don’t say anything’ scenario. This post has been edited by GTH: 22nd April 2018, 02:10 PM |

I'm guessing she had no links to him other than being sued so probably not appropriate. It always made me laugh how he demanded a credit for Collide yet denied Aloe a credit on Wake Me Up. |

Her boo did mention him though, maybe Leona didn't say anything because she'd get backlash like "first you rip his music, now you show respect".. Never underestimate Twitter

She can never win
QUOTE @declan_j_m
Why is nobody talking about the fact that Leona Lewis basically stole Avicii’s song, essentially got away with it without being sued, and is yet to publicly acknowledge his death? Disrespect at its finest. |
