What was the name of her (really good) single? I want to download it but i can't remember what it is called, hopefully, after i'm a celeb, she will have another pop at the charts *nods*

Well this is what i found.. it's her classical song.. but i do remember her releasing a song in which she sang on :unsure:

i think she may do another album after im a celebrity is over and likewise with jason donovan

This is what her site says ....

 

"Myleene Klass has just recently celebrated the immense success of her first solo classical album 'Moving on.' Not only did it enter the classical charts at number two, it went on to break records in all genres including entering the popular charts amidst pop and rock artists alike as well as being the first classical video to be played on 'the box' and other pop channels. Myleene also received her first Brit nomination for 'Moving on."

 

 

If it did so well why no follow up?

 

she went on to tv work after that may be the reason

I don't remember that album doing well in the official charts, I think it made #32 and didn't stick around long either.

How much did it sell all together?

Yeah, it did well for a classical album, but the record company were hoping for a pop album level of success. Shame.

I bought it, great album :D

 

and #32 is a good position for a classical album, considering the other only classical artists that chart are like Catherine Jenkins

Are you sure it went into the main charts?

 

 

Acording to wikipedia it went double platinum, so who knows lol

i think she got dropped after it, thats why there was no follow up. also i doubt it went double patinum, with only reaching about 30 in the charts (though im sure it was about 50).

I just checked everyhit.co.uk and it was #32.

 

I suppose it was a brave move for an ex member of Hear'Say to try and pull off a classical direction, and I suppose she didn't release any singles to promote it so it did OK when you consider those things.

Well it charted at 2 in the classical chart which is pretty good.. you can't expect a classical album to do fantastic in the normal chart ...especially when her fanbase was pop not classical.

Well yes, but how do you expect an album to have sold "double platinum" when it only reached #32 on the real chart? You don't get sales that big from getting to #2 on the classical chart do you, because in reality, it means nothing in terms of sales.

 

 

It sold 200,000 i posted that?

But there were also claims that it went double platinum -_-

Moving On

Almost a year after the Hear'say break-up on 13 May 2003, Myleene signed a 5 album deal with Universal Classics and Jazz which was estimated to be worth "millions". The first promotional single for the album had been recorded, and Myleene stated that she would be going into the studio to finish the album off for release in October. Promotion started with the release of the main promotional single Toccata and Fugue to TV channels and was the first ever classical piece to appear on British music television channel The Box. The video was a huge success with large numbers of requests and showings on TV channels especially Classical FMTV.

 

Myleene's album, titled 'Moving On', was launched on the 20th October at Harrods, London. The launch included two performances (Toccata and Fugue and Moonlight Sonata), as well as a press photoshoot and a signing for fans who had come along. The album was described as "a refreshing collection of beautiful classical pieces" and included reworked versions of popular classical pieces such as Faure's 'Pavane', 'Now We Are Free' (from Gladiator), the theme from 'The Piano' by Michael Nyman, Beethoven's 'Moonlight Sonata' and Satie's 'Gymnopedie No.2'. It also included new arrangements for piano of more contemporary works including Daniel Bedingfield's recent chart-topping hit ' If You're Not The One', and 'Crawling' by Linkin Park. After a week of release it peaked at the No. 2 spot in the Classical charts being beaten by Hayley Westenra, and by mid-December 2003 it had been certified Gold and has since gone Double Platinum

Classical Brits

Things went a little quiet over the next few months, with little further promotion for the album and no new promotional videos made. Myleene continued to perform at various events, many of which corporate and some not. Come 15th May 2004, 'Moving On' was nominated as 'Peoples Album of the year' in the Classical Brit Awards. Myleene was ecstatic but very nervous of the result and stated she did not expect to win. Come the awards night, dressed in a stunning white dress designed by her stylist and long time friend Kyri, Myleene was even more nervous as she was up against some many talented musicians. As she predicted, Myleene lost out on the Classical Brit award for 'Album of the Year' to Bryn Terfel, whose platinum-selling record, simply titled 'Bryn' won the peoples vote.

Transition

Rumours started appearing of a re-release of 'Moving On' with a predicted 5 new tracks. This was later confirmed by Myleene herself, although no new information was given. It was later revealed that the re-release had been pushed back due to conflicts between Myleene's new management company (Mel Bush Organisation) and her previous (Safe Management) regarding royalties. Finally the plan was scrapped and the only reminisce of the plans is the Asian release of Moving On, which includes three new tracks namely Trouble (Coldplay cover, with Myleene's vocals), Sahara and Le Onde. It was then revealed by Myleene herself that she would be working on a new album, which would include a number of tracks in which her vocals appeared. However, on 23rd October 2004 it was announced that Myleene would not be releasing any further material through her current label Universal Classics and Jazz. In a statement through her official fansite she revealed that she had plans to move toward a pop career, as many people had been wondering why she was not singing. However little information has been heard about such an album

I can't be bothered to read that, where does it say 200k? :P

I can't find where i read that it sold 200,000 but i'm sure it did ^_^

Basically it says that she wants to do pop again..so maybe she will ^_^
