Posted January 5, 200718 yr X Factor Winner Leona Lewis is set to release her debut album on March 12th 2007 (subject to change) - the same week as Kelly Clarkson releases her third album :o Lewis's album, a cert to be #1, will be released through Syco & RCA records - RCA being the home of Clarkson. Although Kelly's album is unlikely to have reached #1, with or without the release of Leona's album in the same week, do we think the release of Leona's album will help or hinder sales? :unsure::huh: Discuss :yahoo:
January 5, 200718 yr I dont think it will have much effect, unless there is a lot of speculation over it etc.
January 5, 200718 yr Also I think both Leona and Kelly wll get pushed back. - Leona - Simon said he was taking his time, and considering a March release would be faster than Shayne's album, I highly doubt that Leona's debut will be out that week. - Kelly I would expect a May release from. She needs time to promote the single around the world, and make sure the single is getting airplay etc. I think she will release in the UK at a later date than the USA because she will want to promote it to its fullest, this I predict a later date for her album.
January 5, 200718 yr Author There is no point in releasing same time in US & UK because obviously she won't be able to promote both.
January 5, 200718 yr Author Quote me why dont ya :P There you go. Anything else you would like me to do Daniel? :kink:
January 6, 200718 yr ermmmm I don't think that will happen.... and is it just me that thinks that kelly's 3rd album has a great chance of going to number one in its first week her? If a small fraction of the 1.5 million who bought the last one do then surely it will go to number one? Leona's will also... i hope they both don't release on the same week coz i want both to have number one albums but i would prefer kelly to be number one out of the two.
January 6, 200718 yr IF IT Does it will all depend on leona 2nd single and kellys new single which ever ha sthe strongest will have the better selling album
January 6, 200718 yr Yeah remember its not all about positions, its about overall sales :) But it would be great for Kelly to get the #1 UK selling album :D
January 6, 200718 yr Author IF IT Does it will all depend on leona 2nd single and kellys new single which ever ha sthe strongest will have the better selling album Leona is cert for #1 album, no matter what week she releases in or what the second album is like.
January 6, 200718 yr Yes, I agree. Leona will almost certainlly have the #1 selling album in the UK on its first week release... She will have significantly high sales [200k at least], but if she gets a standout track for her 1st proper single from the album then who knows...?
January 7, 200718 yr I think Kelly's album does have a huge chance of being #1 in the UK, she picked up quite a following with Breakaway, your album doesn't sell 1.5m copies without having some sort of following. ^_^
