Well Alex wants "Heartbreak On Hold" as the 3rd single while the label wants "Tonight" as the 3rd single but alex wants that as the 4th single instead. Plus HOH would be perfect for an x-factor performance just brilliant.

 

'Tonight' is INFINITELY better, but nothing is going to do well so they should cut their losses and go back to the drawing board.

I really hope the next single does well and the X-factor performance really pushes her album sales up! Perhaps things will turn around in the coming months? :)
I think the best thing for her to do at the moment is to go away, record some ballads and good 'fun' songs and do a re-release, after a performance on X Factor if she can nab a slot. However, realistically, which how this era has gone I can't see any of that happening.
A big ballad is needed and a ballad should have always been on the cards for an October/ Novemer release to increase album sales, again the planning of this album and single decisions is disastrous and potentially finished her career.
RCA hasn't got much money?? They are one of the main flagship divisions of Sony Music Entertainment so to say they have no money is a little wide of the mark :lol:

I thoroughly agree, it was absolutely ridiculous to only have one ballad on the album (which happens to be weak). Although I suppose they didn't envision such a flop (I certainly didn't, even as late as the week before Let It Go's release I thought everything was fine!) so didn't know beforehand that they'd need a ballad single to try and sell the album. But still I think the album is too much samey generic dance-pop either way.

Alexandra Burke - Tonight (Featuring Dj Smash)

 

 

This will most likely be the 3rd & final single off of "Hearbreak On Hold" album.

 

Confirmation came via these tweets, plus i believe she's under a contract to release this as a single:

@alexandramusic Looking forward for our release! The track goes awasome everywhere... let me know )

Can't wait to see this flop in at #177 *.* At least it's good I suppose and she isn't releasing shit like This Love Will Survive or bloody Fire.
Interesting as this is probably the best track on her album although that opinion is based on listening to the previews on iTunes. This should've been the lead single instead of 'Elephant' imo.

NOt being release as this era is over :)
Yep,i guees she found her way out of the contract for this to be released as a single.

 

Dumbest decision ever to sign the contract anyway

I know it was never going to do anything whatsoever, but it's a shame as I love this song.

 

Me too! It's really catchy and dancy and I really like the verses and dance breakdowns too!

My favourite track on the album - It's a shame it's not getting released as a tiny little bit of me hoped this would be a decent sized hit although deep down I know it would have scraped in at #68

Oh, I just realised that ' Heartbreak On Hold ' is the most viewed topic on the pop forum! Congrats Alex! If only these viewers turned themselves into sales!
Truly an impressive feat for her :o Diana Vickers agog!

Alexandra slaying Buzzjack!

 

When will your faves?
