October 14, 200817 yr This is after his performance on x factor and comparing his sales to Leona's last year - Plus its his long awaited first single, i reckon by single number 3 he will struggle to reach the top ten -_- To be fair; the only X-Factor winner to ever reclaim the number 1 spot after their debut single is Leona. Steve just completely floped Shayne got to Number 2 twice - even after a performance on the X-Factor for one of his singles.
October 14, 200817 yr Expect Geraldine to overtake them sometime. Don't worry, i do. To be fair; the only X-Factor winner to ever reclaim the number 1 spot after their debut single is Leona. Steve just completely floped Shayne got to Number 2 twice - even after a performance on the X-Factor for one of his singles. Shane got humped royally by About You Now on downloads alone, what did his other single get beaten by?
October 14, 200817 yr Can I go off topic M*rt!n and ask a favour! Can you authorise my latest picture for TT on the gallery thingy? What's with the asterix? In fact ... why has everyone else here got asterixes? N*rm* I approved them earlier for you, Normski :P
October 14, 200817 yr Author To be honest, Leon is just a one trick pony, just trys to be another Michael Buble I have yet to see Leon trying to sing a catchy track, Leona will outlast him, she can change her style, I think people will get bored listening to Leon's music quite easily. I just hope Diana or Laura win this year's X Factor, at the moment Diana is my favourite, and she could improve once her confidence builds up.
October 14, 200817 yr Shane got humped royally by About You Now on downloads alone, what did his other single get beaten by? No Promises was beaten by Gnarls Barkely - Crazy. From MW report 17 April 2006: Crazy registered a further 118,714 sales last week but misses out on becoming the first single to top CD, download, 12-inch and 7-inch charts simultaneously. It has a lock on the first three with sales of 73,102, 41,662 and 2,071 respectively, but has to settle for second slot on the 7-inch list where sales of 1,879 are far fewer than the 4,579 tally of Hard-Fi's Better Do Better. A week after smashing Shayne Ward's record for most downloads, Gnarls Barkley deny the X-Factor winner his second number one hit. Instead, the Mancunian has to settle for a number two debut for No Promises, which sold 67,628 copies last week; his debut hit That's My Goal sold 742,180 copies the week it was released last December, spent four weeks at number one in total, and has so far sold 1,051,955 copies. Both singles are on 21-year-old Ward's self-titled debut album, which is released today (17th)
October 14, 200817 yr Yeh when people are saying leon flopped, i think they mean in comparison to leona. Lets face it, if leon only gets to no3 this week, i doubt we will hear much more from him.
October 14, 200817 yr Yeh when people are saying leon flopped, i think they mean in comparison to leona. Lets face it, if leon only gets to no3 this week, i doubt we will hear much more from him. i don't agree because his music is not the style to set the charts on fire and i think simon cowel will know this already - they are deliberately releasing michael buble style and i always knew he wouldn't be as big as leona but he is doin his thing and pretty well so far. his sing is catchy an deserves at least number 2. maybe not number 1 but it is a half decent song. it is very mature and he sings it veryw ell.
October 14, 200817 yr Don't worry, i do. Shane got humped royally by About You Now on downloads alone, what did his other single get beaten by? Acutally he was only beaten to number one by a few hundred sales!!
October 14, 200817 yr Author Yeh when people are saying leon flopped, i think they mean in comparison to leona. Lets face it, if leon only gets to no3 this week, i doubt we will hear much more from him. What would you buy a Leona album or a Leon album. I prefer to buy a Leona album myself over Leon anyday Anyhow, I better not start a hate campaign against Leon whoops, sorry -_- Back on topic now :heehee:
October 14, 200817 yr To be fair; the only X-Factor winner to ever reclaim the number 1 spot after their debut single is Leona. Steve just completely floped Shayne got to Number 2 twice - even after a performance on the X-Factor for one of his singles. Shayne did not perform either "No Promises" or "No U Hang Up" on x-factor (both singles got to number two). The only single he performed was "Breathless" the second single from the album, however it wasn't available for download until one week later and made number six.
October 14, 200817 yr Erm, leona every time. She was always gona be a star and i think shayne is also quite a commercial artist. I'm sure even he will last much longer than leon.
October 14, 200817 yr If Leon is on 10k, Pink must be on 12-13k (ish) Yup, agree with this, extrapolating her downward curve would put her somewhere around that mark. its all still in the melting pot but with Leon looking like he's peaked on iTunes, only his physical sales can save him now. Come on Pink, the Saturdays and Geraldine McQueen, I would LMAO if he only got to #5. :yahoo:

I just hope Diana or Laura win this year's X Factor, at the moment Diana is my favourite, and she could improve once her confidence builds up. Totally agree with you :wub: Diana would shift LOADS of albums. She will do incredible as an albums artist especially! Leon, I really cannot see what the British Public saw in him! He has no charisma or stage presence at all! I can actually see The Saturdays beating him come Sunday! and I hope they do because they have the better song! Poor Snow Patrol :lol: Having to settle for Top 10 again :lol: Will they ever be able to reach Top 5? :lol: But I wish we'd have a different Top 2 :( I'm getting bored of those two there now! :lol:
October 14, 200817 yr Is there any remaining chance of Geraldine overtaking Leon? I know she's only had one day of sales whereas he has had two...would that have much of an impact?

He also performed 'Stand By Me' on one of the shows... and that Flopped... HARD! LOL

I think Geraldine must be number 1 on physicals, Leon should be at 2 and Saturdays at 3... well that's how i'm imagining it at the moment ;)
