Piano mix version of the video was superb. Favourite yet. So many new shots. :wub:

BUY IT NOW :w00t:

 

New version of the video with the gorgeous piano mix :wub:

 

With regards to "Happy" being released as the lead single, I can see where everyone is coming from by saying it's what X-Factor fans fell in love with, but unfortunately it fails to capture the casual listener the way her previous singles have. I think it's going to be a success here in the UK, but it's clearly showing huge signs of flopping in the U.S. (aside from the iTunes increase due to the "Precious" advertisement). Her first week sales are going to be dire in the U.S., and I know it's not going to be the end of her career as we know it, but this may have killed any further success she's to have stateside. I just feel like she deserves longevity and success on a global scale, and the choices have not been made wisely.

Everyone I know (and yes, that's not a strong representation to the general public, LOL) has pretty much agreed in unison that "Happy" is a nice enough song, but just not overly strong to showcase an album.

such a beautiful song with such a beautiful video.

#31 and #120 on iTunes, not a bad start :), not quite on par with Cheryl and Alex, but should still be #1 next week :cheer:

Now up to #29 on iTunes. Should be #1 by the end of the day. :)

28 now :w00t: 2nd version is down around #120 too

19. Happy - Leona Lewis (& #66 & #295)) :w00t:

12. Happy - Leona Lewis (& #55 & #228) :)

I'm disappointed with it's performance so far. JLS rose quicker :snif:

Pre-orders and the younger audience up late ;)

 

 

#10, #50 and #161 :w00t:

Hopefully now it's Top 10 it'll get the boost and people realise it's available.

 

Although now iTunes have updated their homepage with a tab for her next to the "Single of the Week" tab :cheer:

Nice progress. Hopefully can be top 5 before X Factor.

:yahoo: #7. Be nice if it could get a bit higher before tonight.

 

Regarding the US now, has this bombed completly or is there still time to save it?

Still time I think. Tedder songs seem to take a while to blow up on airplay. Apparently 'Already Gone' is only JUST blowing up on radio LOL
