Power is ok, good enough I guess, but it's one of those songs where I just think "oh that's it?". It has the potential to be so much better with a bit more to it, but maybe it's a grower.

 

Another Love Song is absolutely leagues ahead of the rest, although I do really like Thunder. I Am is growing slowly but Power and especially FUMF I could take or leave.

Album #307 on UK amazon and #732 on iTunes. Hopefully BBC Radio 2 will play an album track this evening as their new playlist takes effect today. :)
I'm surprised "Power" has got such an incredible reaction. It's nice track for the album, but it's fairly uneventful. The others we've heard so far are better.
Will she be promoting this album at all in the UK? This could go terribly if she isn't seen anywhere...radio hasnt backed her and majority of people wont even know she has an album out!

Yes she will. And radio has backed her somewhat - just not commercial radio. But BBC Radio 2/Magic FM tend to lend themselves more so to album sales than single sales. I think Leona will go top 5 with about 10-15k sold.

I like your optimism, we will see soon I guess. I hope so (for a high peak).

Very decent song, on a first listen! https://vid.me/Jky2 - It's also here. I know she says "I got you" a lot, but there are plenty of other things she could have called it apart from the name of another single.

 

I have to say, the album and song are doing very poorly. I know the singles chart is a lot harder to scale, especially around this time of the year. But for the album #1182 10 days from the release is pretty worrying - especially since it only takes like 3 sales to get into the top 500 on the album charts... Most other albums would be top 200 and climbing every day by now and it's only top 400 on Amazon. I'm sure it'll easily go top 10 in its first week but am a bit worried about what's going to happen beyond that. :unsure:

Just listened to I Got You. Nice track. Didn't slay me as much, but on account of production, not structure or anything like that. It could just be my ears atm, so don't take my comments to heart. That said, wouldn't a Sister Act type of video really help it...break the internet. I hope they go that route if they decide to make it a single and even acknowledge the Sister Act inspiration. I think it would really help push to a young demographic. Thoughts?

I wish we knew the situation with Top 40 radio. She has the smallest audience of the top 30 songs on HAC, as well as no chart appearance. They better not rethink song choice for the format. Thunder is very very strong, especially with repeat airplay, in my opinion.

Well I'm talking about the UK. I don't think she's going to do a huge amount in the U.S., but it's nice to HAC warming to her, even if they aren't really daytime plays yet. I guess we need to wait for promo to give her a boost - sounds like she has excellent promo in U.S. Shame she only has the Lotto here, which always provides very minimal boosts.
Wow, 'I Got New' is AMAZING. I've been loving this era so far (the songs I've heard being 'Fire Under My Feet', 'I Am' and 'Thunder'), but this is in another league entirely. :wub:
I think the album will go top10 but very poor sales - under 10k and then drop like a stone. Only hardcore fans will buy the album.

I'd be surprised if the album did less than 10k. I think it'll do around 12k and get to #4/#5 although wouldn't be surprised if it did a bit more given strong support from BBC Radio 2/Magic FM.

 

In terms of the pre-order, it's been consistently in the top 1500 the last few weeks or so, rising and falling with the release of instagrats (everytime one was released it would go up to the 200s). "Power" is being released as an instagrat this Friday and we should get the "I Am" video. Not to mention Leona should be on BBC Breakfast on monday. I think the album will do fine. Especially as there's like 10 sales between being #500 and #200 on the iTunes album chart. Also #305 on amazon at the moment - been around #300-#400 the last few days or so since the album was put back up on there. Fingers crossed it rises a bit over the next few days or so.

'I Got You' is very good, the quality of the songs is definitely getting better as they are getting revealed so that's positive.

 

The pre-order really is much lower than I'd have expected at this stage considering being #1182 is worth like 2 pre-orders a day probably at most. Hopefully Leona will do well on physical sales as I guess that is more her market.

Being low down in the top 1500 genuinely accounts for about 2 sales lol, maximum. Remember that digital sales do NOT make up the majority of album sales, physicals are still the most popular format for them, and album sales in general are very low so digital sales would be even lower. It could still go top 10 as I think casual buyers will pick up her physical but it's really not looking good unfortunately.

Ye I know, was mainly saying that because I haven't been tracking it too much and it's been bouncing up and down inside the top 1500. :P

 

Leona uploaded a video of her covering Kanye's "Only One":

 

 

Nice little treat! Sounds beautiful. :)

#198 on Amazon now, starting to rise a bit. Hopefully with the "Power" instagrat friday and the release of the "I Am" video (which I think will be friday as well) the album will rise a lot more. Plus she should have some UK promo from monday onwards to help out. :)
