October 19, 201213 yr I have a feeling Leona will end up number 3 on Sunday, i can see Mumford and Sons overtaking her.
October 19, 201213 yr He's AMAZING in my opinion but how BIG he can be if he sells 25K top this week? It's incredible for him but should have been an easy week for her. I agree his album is incredible; my point was that its not as though he was an unknown - his album was anticipated - I am surprised he's held on to the top spot but considering the level of support the pre-order for the albim was getting (top 30 before release) I wasn't too suprised to see him in contention. Also all we know he is 5.6k in the lead... we dont actually now the overall sales at the moment - he could be on 25k, he could be on 50k for all we know - we are predicting it isn't going to be huge... but I guess you never know.

This is what I was going to say next. We don't have concrete official figures, MW haven't updated us with another mid report yet, hopefully we get something later.
October 19, 201213 yr So she lost to Mr. nobody with sales like 20K this week? After X factor and top 5 hit? When I said she's done last week people thought I was overreacting... but now... :) He's amazing! she needs to do a better music! such a GREAT voice and such a LAME songs... everything after BL is just wrong. sorry for her... really. I still think you're overreacting to say "she's done". Most artists never get a top 40 album and still manage, so Leona can cope with a #2 album. :lol:
October 19, 201213 yr Bat For Lashes number 4 - that is excellent. A proper UK female artist unlike a certain other releasing this week. :P I just wish she'd had the same level of promo that Leona had.
October 19, 201213 yr It just seems strange PSB haven't fallen off so fast, like they usually do, it could be their physicals holding them up I see what you mean. BTW, do we know where Ellie's album is, today? ITSM while she may not drop as far as last time, she won't match the 2nd week sales of Lights...
October 19, 201213 yr Bat For Lashes number 4 - that is excellent. A proper UK female artist unlike a certain other releasing this week. :P Define proper. I doubt you have even listened to 'Glassheart' ...
October 19, 201213 yr 5+5-3= Thanks. Define proper. Perhaps one who has 'paid their dues', rather than taking the easy (but widely distained) route?

Most artists never get a top 40 album and still manage, so Leona can cope with a #2 album. :lol: It IS a good result for her and most artists would see it as that however it's Syco that's the problem - They will see this as a disaster for who they believed to be one of their most bankable artists and the fact she is being beaten by someone who is not known by the masses and yet to have a hit single will make it even more worrying for them - They would have believed looking at the release schedule that she would claim #1 with ease.

I hate to say this Leona needs to break away from the Syco label and all the X Factor hoo ha, it helped Will Young in the long run, to break away from the Pop Idol lark. With the right production team behind her she should go a long way. Does anyone know how many albums she is contracted to on the Syco label.

With the right production team behind her she should go a long way. Does anyone know how many albums she is contracted to on the Syco label. A 5 album contract I believe, but I very much doubt she will break away from them unfortunately. Perhaps one who has 'paid their dues', rather than taking the easy (but widely distained) route? Well, Leona had been working hard before the X-factor and it was actually her boyfriend who applied for her. She didn't know about it at all and I don't think she would have applied if he didn't do it for her!
October 19, 201213 yr So he's increased his lead again then :) It's more likely that he's maintaining his daily lead - eg, he could be selling 1.1k more than her each day, which is why his lead appears to have gradually increased. Leona needs those Saturday CD sales to be big.

She didn't know about it at all and I don't think she would have applied if he didn't do it for her! But what we can never know, is if she would have made it *without* the XF? It's more likely that he's maintaining his daily lead - eg, he could be selling 1.1k more than her each day, which is why his lead appears to have gradually increased. Leona needs those Saturday CD sales to be big. ISTM extremely unlikely that any amount of promo will allow her to catch Jake Bugg, now.

October 19, 201213 yr which is why I said her CD sales need to be BIG :lol: She would also need to be ahead of Jake on download sites too and at the moment she's declining on some if the key ones - Would have liked to see her get her 3rd #1 album although I think it's too much of a gap this late in the week to overturn and I can't see the promo that she has lined up translating into the sales needed.
October 19, 201213 yr Strange that Leona's day time performance looks to have done absolutely zilch for her sales, yet Rebecca's re-released album was propelled by hers.
October 19, 201213 yr But what we can never know, is if she would have made it *without* the XF? ISTM extremely unlikely that any amount of promo will allow her to catch Jake Bugg, now. Weel, duh, overcourse we'll never know. :rolleyes: What we do know is that she has a fantastic voice to still, be referred to continually as the best voice to come out of the show. Bugg has it in the bag now. Fair play, just hope Leona's long term project for this album is, er, long term, none of her albums have yet made it past single #2. :(
October 19, 201213 yr It just seems strange PSB haven't fallen off so fast, like they usually do, it could be their physicals holding them up well, they have different versions, with different remixes and 3 B-sides, maybe this is helping.are they appearing on Tv performing?
