July 4, 201014 yr Its not for a new album, the song will be included as part of an Overcome rerelease at the end of the year.It is a Summer single, The Silence is supposed to be the lead single for the rerelease.I am sure if Syco were not into Alex there would have been no more single releases for her and her International promo would also have stopped.The song has just been released to radio so not sure where you get lack of anticipation from. Oh, my mistake then... (I was not ironic, just curious btw) On the 1st-2nd album gap: It is more visible at hugely successfull debut albums (rihanna leona etc) The truth is that Overcome didn't sell millions anyway, so a second album selling 400k-ish (still 35+% down) could be considered a success. It always has to do with your expectations and standards. (the silence is a better song anyway but xf fans will once again have new puppets to play...) Edited July 4, 201014 yr by 7heDreamer
July 4, 201014 yr It is more visible at hugely successfull debut albums (rihanna leona etc) Rihanna's début album sold 2 million copies, with her second album selling 3.5 million copies. If you're meaning Good Girl Gone Bad, that's her third album, not her first.
August 5, 201014 yr Just wanted to find out where you guys think start without you peak its out on the 23rd august
August 5, 201014 yr Doesn't deserve Top 40 imo as it's one of the worst songs I've heard this year. I'm guessing around #8 though.
August 5, 201014 yr #3, purely because it's Alexandra and her fanbase will buy it. Without a video (where the hell is it??) and Radio 1 it won't last long, though.
August 5, 201014 yr I quite like the song but I hope it flops on its song's ass. The quality of it is just horrible, no originality, no anything. YES, it's catchy IMO but... see above. The XF has disappointed me once again. I'll go with the top-5 for the song though and a strong chance of #2 at least. It'll still do a 'The Club is Alive' or 'Get Sexy' inevitably I think.

August 6, 201014 yr I can see that week being a bit tough tbh. I can see Taio going in at #1 and Alexandra just making #2 at the last minute in the week. I think Bradon will go in at about #4 and Sky going in at #10 so there should be 3 or 4 new entrys into the top 10 that week. I hope they push the release date back a couple of week though due to the delay in the video :(!
August 6, 201014 yr I'll say low top ten...not up to her usual standards. There are so many songs off her album - like, the whole lot - that are better than this.
August 6, 201014 yr About 4 or 5. Not as good as any of her previous singles, I still like it but it's getting boring now. It is a busy week, I hope Sky gets top 5 but 8 or 9 is more realistic
August 6, 201014 yr Release date pushed back to 5th September. Gives her 4 and a bit weeks for video and promo. Wise move.
August 6, 201014 yr Release date pushed back to 5th September. Gives her 4 and a bit weeks for video and promo. Wise move. What else is new it always happens with Alex releases.Shame she is up against Alesha now, the video better be really good.
August 6, 201014 yr I am still wondering why are they ignoring The Silence. It is the best song of the album and is quite similar to the songs her fans voted her for in XF. Bad Boys was the upbeat obvious first single choice but the Silence should have been second single. I do not suggest this would have helped her sell much better but anyway I feel this was the right sequence rather than all this stupid choices one after the other. Broken Heels? Start without you? I know the album is not that great and does not have a lot of hit-songs but you still cannot release these as singles. Leona (who I really like) and Alexandra should step up a bit and get more involved in what they are releasing. If it was their idea (I doubt it), well they don't have amy ''promo'' tallent for sure. Oh and MrLoveTt you are right about Rihanna although I thought GGGB was her second album... well. She is having the effect on the 3rd album so it is definitely not a good example. Everybody flops(hurts) sometimes.... :P Edited August 6, 201014 yr by 7heDreamer
August 6, 201014 yr The Silence is being released at Christmas if rumours are to be believed. I don't think Red One would give her that track for it to stay on the album.
August 6, 201014 yr Oooohkay. I'm actually thinking #2 for this behind Dynamite. The release schedule looks bare up to that week so the chart may be due a turnover. I don't expect it to hang around long though and I'd rather it missed the top 40 because it's horrendous. Such a comedown from a promising artist.
