After Alexandra hit the scene with her cracking hit single Bad Boys, she further solidified her status as UK Pop Queen with the release of Broken Heels.
The song was widely compared to Beyoncé Single Ladies, due to the girl empowering message. It was not released in Europe, due to Bad Boys still smashing there.
The RedOne produced electropop song had a american football themed music video, showing off Alexandra's body. It was filmed in L.A. and choreographed by JaQuel Knight.

Broken Heels peaked at #8 in the UK after a 5-week climb. It has so far sold over 310k. It spend 2 weeks in the top 20 and a total of 22 in the top 100.
It also went top 3 on Polish Airplay, #3 in Scotland, #5 in Ireland and #17 in Slovakia and Bulgaria.

It racked up 4 11's and no less than a 7, so I think it is safe to say it is universally loved on Buzzjack.
I am very pleased to see this top 5. I absolutely adore the song, altho I'm still not sure if she sings "Ladies take the biggest cut" or "Ladies take the biggest cock" :kink:

(Since the bitch made Broken Heels UK-only, I can't watch the video, here's a live performance of it)

Opening our flawless top 3 is Alexandra's official debut single, Bad Boys featuring Flo Rida.
It was Alexandra's official breakthrough single. It was debuted on the The Chris Moyles Show on Alexandra's birthday. Before the debut, The Sun had already leaked lyrics from the song online.
The stomping electro-R&B tune was instantly called a hybrid between Girls Aloud' Biology and Britney's Womanizer. It was received with mostly positive reviews. Critics praised the songs "larger than life" chorus and Alexandra's vocals.

Bad Boys debuted at #1 on the UK singles chart with sales of over 187k. It has so far sold 860k. It also went to #1 in Ireland, #3 in Czech Republic and South Africa, #4 in Hungary, #6 in Sweden, #7 in Norway, #8 in The Netherlands, #9 in Bulgaria, #11 in Finland, #12 in Flanders and Switzerland, #14 in Germany, #22 in Austria, #25 in Autralia, #27 in Poland and #39 in Denmark.

It was the 9th best selling single in the UK in 2009, as well as the 153rd in 2010. It's also 2009's 8th best selling in Ireland and the 45th best performing single in The Netherlands. It is also the 68th best selling single of the 2000-2009 decade.

Alexandra performed Bad Boys 2 times on The X Factor UK, as well as The X Factor Holland, Queensday in The Netherlands, 20th Concert in Poland, Cheryl Cole's Night In, The Jingle Bell Ball and Ireland's Childline Concert in Dublin.

So our runner up of this rate ended up being The Silence by a 0.53 margin. The flawless ballad served as a promotional single in anticipation of the re-release of Overcome. It was voted over Perfect by the fans, which was a mistake in my opinion as the single was over a year old and featured on a multiplatinum album, which meant a lot of people already owned it. Had they gone with Perfect, it would've been a brand new song being released, which would've guaranteed Alexandra another top 10.

Critics praised Alexandra's vocal performance and the harmonies on the song.
The song was compared to the works of Bonnie Tyler and Beyoncé. Upon the release of Overcome the song charted at #95 on the UK singles chart. Upon it;s release as a promotional single, the re-worked version charted at #126, before leaping all the way to #16 after a magnificent performance on The X Factor.

The Silence peaked at #35 in Ireland and #66 in Switzerland, while peaking at #26 in Hungary.

The Silence was originally intended to be released as the third single of Overcome but was scrapped in favour of our #1 song, All Night Long.
Silly Simon...

01. All Night Long (feat. Pitbull)

All Night Long was released as the 3rd single off Overcome, in favour of The Silence. The song was remixed into a newer version with new instruments, some vocals removed and Pitbull's vocals added. It was the second European single from Overcome, after Bad Boys smashed its way onto the European charts.

Critics praised the song, saying it is the definition of a summer stomper, praising Alexandra's vocals, the harmonies in the song and brilliant verses. It was also nominated for a brit award for Best British Single and is regarded as her best single by her fans.

All Night Long debuted at #98 on the UK singles chart, due to the release of Overcome. It then re-entered the chart at #59 due to Airplay kicking in. After 2 months of climbing, it entered the top 10 at #8 in may 2010, after which the single version was released, which made it peak at #4.

The song also peaked at #24 in The Netherlands, #1 in Indonesia, #3 in Scotland, #24 in Slovakia, #38 in Latvia, #48 in Australia, #57 in Sweden, #60 in Germany and Switzerland and #83 in the Czech Republic.

The song was also sent to US radio, but got pulled from the adds after it flopped in Australia. Some radio stations had already started spinning it, but Simon was convinced Alexandra couldn't crack the US so they blew off the plans and never released All Night Long there. A shame really as it would've put her in a whole different position.

Perfect winner :wub:

 

I loved it at the time and it seems to be her single that has aged the best so it's just as good now too.

 

And yassss T. Has been such a fun raTe :heart:

Glad 'The Silence' made the top 2! It really is flawless and 'All Night Long is a great winner.

 

The results are overall awful though because 'The Map' is not here. :manson:
