Posted November 9, 200717 yr Leona beating Spice Girls in album chart Friday, November 9 2007, 10:33 GMT By Alex Fletcher - Digitalspy.com http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/a79532/l...lbum-chart.html Leona Lewis has taken the lead in her battle against the Spice Girls for the number one album next week. Lewis' debut Spirit is reportedly outselling the Spice Girls' Greatest Hits by six to one in pre-sales. Her album is also expected to surpass the Arctic Monkeys' Favourite Worst Nightmare LP as the biggest-selling pre-release of the year. An industry insider told the Mirror: "The Spice Girls may have a fanatical following but even they can't derail that juggernaut that's Leona Lewis. "The amazing sales of her single 'Bleeding Love' only served to ramp up enthusiasm for her album. Leona is well out in front." Amazon's head of music buying, Julian Monaghan commented: "This is an incredible result for Leona Lewis. "When you look at our most pre-ordered artist in previous years, it has been the likes of the Arctic Monkeys, Coldplay and Dido." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Can't say im suprised tbh :o ^_^
November 9, 200717 yr Pre orders? TBH I think she will smash them :lol: They pulled ou to avoid Westlife when they'd probably have stood a better chance against them than Leona :lol:

But with Mel B still in Dancing With The Stars (it would be like having T-Boz or Chilli (from TLC) entering Strictly Come Dancing and making the last 3), that has been scuppered, so for example their live performance for Children In Need next Friday will be on satellite from LA, California.

How rude :o I don't believe anything that disgusting man says! I just remember reading something about it on here :P
November 9, 200717 yr best bit is I have pre-ordered both :kink: Leona is on the way, and the Spicey box set isn't due to set sail until Wednesday :manson:
November 10, 200717 yr Pre orders? TBH I think she will smash them :lol: They pulled ou to avoid Westlife when they'd probably have stood a better chance against them than Leona :lol: HAHA that makes me laugh! they under estimated leona. Ironically they probaly would of been number one against west life.
November 10, 200717 yr Oh I don't think there's any question tbh she'll beat Arctic Monkeys first week sales for their latest album. I wonder though, maybe she might actually smash their record for the highest first week sales for a debut album? I doubt it, but y'never know I guess! :o

I think a better question is - would she have outsold the Spices when they were in their prime...?
November 10, 200717 yr I think a better question is - would she have outsold the Spices when they were in their prime...? I don't think thats a relevant point really. I mean ... it could be attributed to anything. Its like asking if Westlife could challenge the Beatles in their heyday? Leona's going to do really well with her album and good luck to her. I'm sure the Spices will be happy with number 2 - they do advocate Girl Power after all .... surely they wouldn't begrudge Leona. Norma
November 10, 200717 yr mmm i can't believe.. Leona 500,000 in first week?? more than james blunt?? ...........

T-Boz and Chilli. :wub: And yeah, I agree.
November 10, 200717 yr I got this from Perez Hilton... Wow. Wow. Wow. Leona Lewis‘ debut album comes out next week in the U.K., the same time the Spice Girls are releasing their Greatest Hits CD. And, our little Leona is pretty much assured the #1 spot! Lewis’ debut, Spirit, is outselling the Spice Girls’ Greatest Hits by six to one in pre-sales. That’s mayjah! Her album is also expected to surpass the Arctic Monkeys‘ Favourite Worst Nightmare as the biggest-selling pre-release of the year. Leona is expected to sell over 500,000 albums next week! Her single, Bleeding Love, is the #1 song in the U.K. for the second week in a row. It’s also the biggest selling single of the year, already having sold almost a million copies. Not bad for a girl that was working in Pizza Hut not that long ago! Congrats Leona! Slight exaggeration me thinks :lol:
November 10, 200717 yr It’s also the biggest selling single of the year, already having sold almost a million copies.I thought it was under 500,000. :unsure: 44 03 Nov 218.805 Leona Lewis Bleeding Love 45 10 Nov 158.370 Leona Lewis Bleeding Love Edited November 10, 200717 yr by munchkin
