December 11, 200916 yr About this whole JLS-Leona-Cheryl-Alex thing: 1) Can't compare Echo with Jls and Overcome. It is her SECOND album after the xf while they are still having their first with the GREAT xf boost behind them. Wait for their second album to see if any of them can still stand on their feet... I really doubt Alex will because she has nothing really special. 2) Making a more compatible Jls vs Alex I would say it was a surprise to me that she won the show anyway. Jls appeal more to teenagers and they are the mass voters of the show plus there is no such boyband in the UK. (TT have more mature and ballad style now as do westlife, BSB simply not interesting any more). My opinion is that both overcome and Jls are not good albums but still Jls is a bit better and more personal. But besides that it is a fact that Jls's sales are MUCH better than Alex. This thing about the singles mentioned is not fair. I don't think Alex will release a single that will make Overcome sale 100k in a week , the album is selling low may go up a bit but won't do much more than 500k. Jls will probably be a milion seller. 3) Leona's total sales (worldwide) are still greater worldwide, the rest are UK acts only. 4) Cheryl--> don't like her either and can't believe the massive success of FFTL, the album is also doing fine.

The reason i included leona was 2nd album or not did anyone expect JLS to be outselling her? I guess jls have filled a gap in the market still i doubt anyone expected them to be this big. hope rihanna does 45k this week.
December 11, 200916 yr It's not. #3 is quite close to her, and looking at the sales for the previous days I assume JLS are close too. She could end up at #3 or #4 (But #2 is more likely) JLS are 335K behind Lady Ga ga, according to the album sales thread. They have no chance of overtaking her by the end of the year. She will probably sell about 120K this week, bringing her to the number one slot, as KOL wont sell the 88K+ they'd need to retain their place. However, Susan Boyle may well sell around 300K this week, she needs 245K at least to overtake KOL. So they'd have to sell 55K to stop her. So If Lady gaga sells 120K, Susan will have to sell 333K+ this week to get the top place. Whatever happens KOL will almost certainly be third place by Sunday. However, next week Susan will almost certainly take the top slot and get best selling album of the year by the end of December.

December 11, 200916 yr I think its almost certaoin now that the end of the year top 3 will see the following 01 Susan Boyle 02 Lady Gaga 03 Kings of Leon
December 11, 200916 yr It's a shame. GaGa deserves #1 single AND the #1 album of 2009. I'm not being biased.
