Posted March 13, 201411 yr The best winner of X Factor returns with her second best single, and by far the best from her upcoming second (technically third or fourth) album. https://itunes.apple.com/au/album/up!-single/id836381348 Itunes preview here, hopefully they will fix the awful cover aren't by it's release on April 11th. It's also the officall anthem for the Australian football (soccer) team for the 2014 worldcup in Brazil.
March 13, 201411 yr Yass! It sounds great but nothing compared to Soldier, What You've Done To Me or Firestarter yet. It'll probably grow as I said the exact same thing about Soldier
March 13, 201411 yr She should cover Wide Awake. She did, it was on her album Samantha Jade and she performed it on X-Factor in week 1!
March 17, 201411 yr Love this so much already! Hope it becomes a mega hit in Aus! Wish she'd hurry up with the album and come to the UK!
March 19, 201411 yr Yes! They both need to drag themselves to the UK. I'm eternally thankful I have like $65 of iTunes Aus credit remaining. Easily the best thing since her winners single.
March 20, 201411 yr I said this with the release of "Soldier" and I'll say it again, whoever is managing this girl is doing a terrible job. It's been almost a year and a half since she's won X-Factor. What's the hold up on releasing an album? When we do get it, we've already heard 4 songs if not more.. what more innovation can we really get from her? What You've Done To Me was fantastic. Firestarter was ehhh... Soldier was great. The only thing she has going for her is that Dami Im (the last X-Factor winner) isn't really a threat to her. I have no doubts that Samantha Jade can really go out there and hold her own. BUT GIVE US A f***ING ALBUM ALREADY.
March 20, 201411 yr The album was supposed to be out in february but was postponed because her mother became terminally ill
March 20, 201411 yr I think they are waiting for a big hit to launch the album. I don't think Up! will be a massive hit because it's a little generic but hopefully it will sell enough for the label to finally release her freaking 2nd album. I mean, how many singles do they need? It's not like her singles are bombing... Edited March 20, 201411 yr by johnnyorfino
March 21, 201411 yr 1, 9 and 17 were the peaks for her three singles. I haven't heard Up! But by the sounds of it will probably not do all that great.. Probably nothing better than 17.. Chances are if this doesn't resonate, we would get (hopefully) a massive 5th single to launch the album. Let's not forget that "I Am Australian" came in at #51.. and had some "big names" attached to it as well. Also, do we consider her compilation album from her X-Factor win as a legit album? I wouldn't, all her songs were available on iTunes as the show progressed. They just threw some money behind packaging it all together and launching it on iTunes anyways..

March 23, 201411 yr Although Firestarter and Solider came in at #9 and #17, Firestarter still went Platinum, has nearly 2 million hits on youtube (which for an Australian only act is really good) and won an Aria for best video. Solider has also gone Gold and hung around the top 50 for quite some time, which for a #17 peak is pretty good, as most of the time those sort of singles don't normally hang around for so long. I fully expected it be in and out in a couple of weeks. Samantha's profile has also risen due to the INXS tv film and there seems to be a lot of good will behind her. They really should release the album a couple of weeks after Up! It's so frustrating!!
April 2, 201411 yr Sammy just shoot the cover art for her 2nd album :) http://auto.img.v4.skyrock.net/8852/891788..._2_xqcksXrY.jpg http://auto.img.v4.skyrock.net/8852/891788...10_fp1w43v5.jpg
April 2, 201411 yr Looks like a summer anthem album! I still need some ballads from her tho, Heartless, Everytime and Breakeven were amongst her best performances on The X-Factor
