#27 now, slowly climbing, position by position. Few hours till the X Factor performance. This has to be one of her best performances of her lifetime tonight. No pressure Leona :lol:

My worry is that this song has no massive vocal moment in it. It doesn't build, there's no drama in the vocal, and no money note at the end. I fear the performance is just going to go by without much fuss. That would obviously be a disaster, and I hope it doesn't happen, but I just can't see the live performance converting any new fans to the song. I very much hope that I'm proved 100% wrong.

You're right. There isnt a build or big vocal bit at the end, but the main thing is the consistent amazing vocal performance throughout. Especially the acoustic, its such a spine-tingling performance. Everyone knows leona can do the big build up songs and the big vocals, this song is something different for Leona, the focus is on the emotion and the lyrics.

I'm really curious to see which version she performs, but I know she is going to blow us away!

No vocal moment? After the Middle 8 and at the end. The whole song is gorgeous, and the last note on X-Factor tonight was just gorgeous.

 

Upto No.13 & No.122 now. Another incredible performance from Leona, as always.

Amazing. Seriously, that was the perfect performance I was wanting from her. Got her trending too ofcourse. :D

 

The EP is now #5 too (#1 on Pop!!)

I loved it... Great vocals and great staging. Her voice broke a bit in the earlier bits of the song, but that didn't phase me. Such a shame this is under-performing - it's perhaps her best single since "Run" for me, and I've loved all of them since then! :(

It is not exactly underperforming. Would you expect it to outsell the top 3 in a few hours? The top5 without Leona would look like (at the end of the week):

Adelle (100k?)

Sweedish house mafia (85k)

Rihanna (75k)

PSY (60k)

1D (45k)

 

I think no4 is within reach even now but she will need a big boost to break into the top3. It is a tough chart week nevertheless...

I would say to make #5 it needs to sell at least 50K this week, the competition is strong!

 

iTunes hasnt updated for a while...

It's #9 on iTunes finally! I'd say top ten is pretty secure, but higher than "Hurt" would probably be the best we can hope for now :(

Just bought it :D so glad its Top 10 now, hopefully she'll keep climbing

Slowly but steadily rising! At Number 7 & 81 now. :) Hopefully top 5 isn't too hard to get, hoping for at least a Top 10 placing with this single.

#7 at the moment. #82 for the acoustic (which i have a feeling she may perform this version on Alan Carr?) The EP is also still top 10 at #9 :D Come on Leona! :dance:

Hopefully climbs to #6 soon.

While i like Leona and still want this era to perform well i just dot like trouble, it is her worst single to date.

I acutally think Trouble is one of her best songs EVER! I think it's her most versatile song yet in the fact it works well on her own as a midpaced track, a more rappy song with the addition of Childish Gambino, a haunting ballad with the Acoustic version. And an epic dance song with the Wideboys Radio Mix!

 

I think she should have performed a faster version on xfactor though because to the casual viewer it would have just looked like yet again another Leona ballad when in fact it is so much more. She should have released the Wideboys Remix, it is so epic!

We are on the exact same page! I LOVE the wideboys remix, its actually pretty epic.

 

Trouble is up there with one of her best releases for me too. So happy it's still #5 on iTunes! Lets see where it is today in the midweek chart update soon hopefully #5 too :dance: So excited for Alan Carr performance I know she will SMACK it. Her live performances are where it is at right now for Leona, radio/tv are really not fully backing this so for it to be #5 is fantastic I think!

 

LEONA #5 ON MIDWEEK CHART UPDATE. So hope it can stay there, but tbf, happy its looking definite for top 10 wouldnt have expected anything less from Leona. :wub: :D

Good news for Leona to be at #05 on the midweeks, I think she'll end the week at #06 though maybe #07 depending on when she starts falling on iTunes, hopefully the Alan Carr performances guarantees top 6 though, I guess it would have been intresting to see where she would have ended up without the xFactor.

Trouble update: It's off Radio2 Playlist (Only made C-List, better then nothing I guess) and they've also named GlassHeart the abum of the week so will forgive them a little bit. :heehee:

It's still on B-List for Radio1, would of liked to see it A-List, but better then it coming off this week. A-List may be out of the question now, it'll either move up there next week or be taken off, one or the other I'd say.

 

Glad Trouble is still sitting nicely at #5 on iTunes! Alan Carr tomorrow :D

Edited October 11, 201212 yr by Karma

Down to #6 on iTunes... :(

Trouble is now #8. Hoping it can stay top 10 till the performance tomorrow night, still another 24+ hours to go, so hope it can stay inside before Alan Carr boosts her back to #5 I hope. (#4 at a push to make up for the drop today/tomorrow before it).

 

The EP at #36.
