July 14, 20159 yr Exciting! I hope they give the premiere to BBC Radio 1 to try and get them on board with the song. It sounds like something they would support, much more than "Fire Under My Feet". Radio 1 doesn't really ever playlist an artist after they've snubbed them. They won't get on board part way through the campaign when the first single flopped. I think they should premier with Heart!
July 14, 20159 yr Radio 1 doesn't really ever playlist an artist after they've snubbed them. They won't get on board part way through the campaign when the first single flopped. I think they should premier with Heart! Who's to say it's a full on snub though? I'm just hoping so badly lol :snif: September 4th doesn't have much competition, so if they hold it back it should go top 40 with BBC Radio 2/Magic support. I would really hope Heart get on board and it would be great it they premiered it but has Heart premiered songs before? Edited July 14, 20159 yr by Envoirment
July 14, 20159 yr Author I doubt Radio 1 will playlist Leona again unless she makes waves in America.
July 16, 20159 yr The production on this really is incredible. My only problem is it seems like a very strong album track rather than a single. Can't see it performing well.
July 16, 20159 yr Can listen here: http://www.itemvn.com/cachedsongs/EF6AA049...61/iamleona.mp3 The production is just incredible, wow! Hands down my favourite production of any Leona song. Just phenominal.
July 16, 20159 yr The production on this really is incredible. My only problem is it seems like a very strong album track rather than a single. Can't see it performing well. I can't see anything she releases performing well regardless. It's a solid enough effort I think.
July 16, 20159 yr 'I Am' is another really solid track and reminds me a little bit of 'Trouble', however there's no chance it'll be playlisted on Radio 1. Radio 2 should continue to support Leona though and hopefully that will result in a top 10 album!
July 16, 20159 yr Did Island learn nothing about the need to hold back her next single after FUMF failed to chart or generate buzz?
July 16, 20159 yr ^ Don't think the song will do much anyway even with pre-orders. Hopefully it means we'll get BBC Radio 2 playlisting the song next week and the album pre-order to rise. Album pre-order has risen to #615 on iTunes album chart today after not being in the top 1500 for a while. Assume it's because of "Thunder" being put up on her vevo and "I Am" being available to listen to.
July 17, 20159 yr Did Island learn nothing about the need to hold back her next single after FUMF failed to chart or generate buzz? They clearly aren't interested in a hit single, they are focusing on album sales and just want the song out and streaming straight away. I am sure Radio 2 will spin it like crazy, and hopefully this pays off with a decent selling album.
July 17, 20159 yr Island have handled both this and Will Young's campaign absolutely terribly when there was at least some potential in both.
July 17, 20159 yr Island have handled both this and Will Young's campaign absolutely terribly when there was at least some potential in both. Didn't Will have a #1 album?
July 17, 20159 yr Didn't Will have a #1 album? Yes, in a quiet week where it is has sold very little and has no charting singles.
July 17, 20159 yr I'm liking 'I Am' actually. It's nice to listen to. Shame it'll probably not even make the top 150 on iTunes Island should have realised you can still focus on the album and hold back a single at the same time. :'(
