It's rare for 90k to get you #1 I'm sure, most of the time it's 100k+. I've certainly only seen sales that low a couple of times.

iTunes track updates:

 

Bleeding Love #2 & #24

Better In Time #15

I Will Be #62

Yesterday #72

You Bring Me Down #106

 

She hasn't performed 'I Will Be', 'Yesterday' or 'You Bring Me Down' on TV has she? I'm just surprised that they've all entered and 'Take A Bow', 'Misses Glass' and 'Forgive Me' haven't as I think those would have been more US friendly.

Correct Andre, no.1 albums of less than 100k are rare, and really happen after loads of big artists have released albums and others have waited til they died down before releasing and then it happens!

 

Take Alicia Keys going back to no.1 in January for 2 weeks, selling like 60K each week and bloody Juno, lol!

Clive Davis has another winner and he has Simon Cowell to thank.

Leona Lewis, who catapulted to fame in her native U.K. after winning that country’s televised X Factor talent competition launched by Idol Cowell, will debut at #1 on next week’s HITS Album Sales chart with her debut Spirit, edging near 200k, though the final total will probably closer to 190k.

 

Go Leona :D

Now I wonder when the last time a British female did that was? :P

 

Actually when was the last time anyone British did that... :unsure:

Shes the first female british act to debut #1 :D

Shes the first female british act to debut #1 :D

What? EVER? :o

Yes :). Altho other british females have gotten #1 like weeks after their release.

Oh that's fantastic :cheer: I was quite worried for her album.

Excellent! More records being broken along the way. :funky:

OMG at her going to be #1 with 190k. :D!

I know they seem certain about it, but I'm not going to start celebrating yet. How close is the #2 album or didn't it say?

Yes :). Altho other british females have gotten #1 like weeks after their release.

 

Do you know who? I can only think of Olivia Newton John who is technically Australian.

i think the number 2 album was quite a way from her......so happy for her :heart:

I've been looking on Wikipedia and I can't find any other UK female artists, but I may have skipped over some. The closest I found was Olivia Newton-John. Well, I found Sade, but that's a band apparently. :lol: So I think Leona might be the first if she makes it.

Yup that's what I've found out, Olivia is technically Australian and Sade are a band so it appears Leona will be the only British female to ever reach #1 on the US albums chart.
