Posted March 26, 200817 yr I dont know if its true but :unsure: :o Look what i found on another forum: It's confirmed: LEONA LEWIS #1 ON BH100! MARIAH # 15 ON HOT 100 No need to freak out tho guys --- it's still bulletted, Lil' Mama's "Shawty Get Loose" & Lil' Wayne's "Lollipop" just jumped over it this week because of digital sales. Leona Lewis is #1 this week with "Bleeding Love" (gotta love Oprah! haha) and, for those "competitive spirits" Edited March 27, 200817 yr by Ethereal
March 26, 200817 yr Hmmm seems a little unrealistic, Mariah dropping a place to #15 when her airplay has been huge again and she's had a few days of downloads? Nah at this point in time I don't think it's real. Although I pray it is for Leona's sake. :D
March 26, 200817 yr Author I hope the person who posted it didn't lie i want leona to be the first british female artist to have no.1 hit in the usa. Since Kim Wilde with "You Keep Me Hanging On" back in 1987.
March 26, 200817 yr Here is quote form mariah fan site. "Touch My Body @ #15 on Hot 100 this week - No need to freak out tho guys --- it's still bulletted, Lil' Mama's "Shawty Get Loose" & Lil' Wayne's "Lollipop" just jumped over it this week because of digital sales. Leona Lewis is #1 this week with "Bleeding Love" (gotta love Oprah! haha) and, for those "competitive spirits", She we shall not name (feat. Justin Timberlake & Timbaland) debuted @ #68. She's not the Hot Shot Debut tho....Flo-Rida is with "Roll" @ #61." (Source: I intern at a label, we just printed the charts) ^ from Pulse
March 26, 200817 yr She is! And Mariah's downloads don't count til next week! America counts downloads from Mon-Sun, that what we got today! So it, is correct that Mariah could have fallen!
March 26, 200817 yr Go for it Leona, after buying your album from Asda last week...i was pretty impressed. So i have no issues with you being #1! :) MADONNA! My queen....well done on the #68 debut, i look 4wards to seeing you rise n' rise! Mariah, why the slip chick?
March 26, 200817 yr Author http://www.dontmiss.fr/userfiles/Image/leona-lewis-pa_4721135.jpg Leona Lewis turns back the clock to top US charts The television talent show winner Leona Lewis is poised to become the first British woman to top the US pop chart for more than 20 years. Not since Kim Wilde, who scored a transatlantic hit with her version of You Keep Me Hangin’ On, has a British woman provided the song that all America is humming. :cheer: The rise of Lewis, a former receptionist in Hackney, East London, has changed all that, earning her membership of an exclusive club that Amy Winehouse and Dame Shirley Bassey have yet to join. Industry sources say that Bleeding Love, Lewis’s first US single, has halted the charge of Madonna and bumped the R&B singer Usher off the top of the Billboard Hot 100, after a surge in download sales. An endorsement by Oprah Winfrey on nationwide television sent Lewis, 22, soaring to the top. The Hot 100 will be unveiled in New York today. Topping the US charts is no guarantee of longevity, however. Wilde did not trouble the US compilers after her 1987 success and pursued a career in gardening. Her predecessor, Sheena Easton, was briefly reinvented by Prince as a sex symbol after her pomp in the early Eighties, but transferred her talents to stage musicals. American radio and the MTV network have become hostile to British rock and pop, preferring “nu-metal”, rap and glamorous homegrown R&B stars such as Beyoncé. Most of Lewis’s new download-buying American fans do not know that she shot to fame as the winner of ITV1’s X Factor in 2006, or even that she is British. Bleeding Love was the biggest-selling British single last year. Simon Cowell, Lewis’s manager, took her to the US and negotiated a £5 million album contract with the music mogul Clive Davis, who signed Whitney Houston. She was sent to record with top US producers and a slick video designed for MTV was filmed for Bleeding Love. Lewis soon began appearing in US entertainment “ones to watch” lists. Her breakthrough came this month with television appearances on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and Winfrey’s nationwide chatshow. After earning a standing ovation with her Oprah performance, the host told Lewis: “You’re the real-deal girl. Talk about a star is born.” Download and mobile phone track sales soared. A strong lineup of British female singers is now hoping to emulate Lewis. There is a buzz over the Welsh singer Duffy, and Adele and Kate Nash are also hoping to make inroads. Winehouse has sold 1.5 million copies of her Back To Black album in the US, but has not topped the singles chart despite her Grammy awards. source: http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol...icle3627676.ece Edited March 26, 200817 yr by Dino-2Pacalypse
