Sorry if there is already a thread. Just somewhere for random chart facts, if anyone feels inclined :) Heres one Between 1964 and 1974 , 49 singles by British acts got to the USA Billboard number one. Between 1998 and 2008 only 4 British singles got there (3 of those in the last 2 years).

This is only Sunday!, what's Leonas popularity bar going to do by this time tomorrow?!

Why are some papers reporting that Connie talbot is in the US top ten albums?.

Looks like you are right!. :)

I loved Oasis first 2 albums. But I think McFly recently have produced better work than Oasis. I used to hate McFly when they started, but lately they've been doing good stuff imo.

I agree totally.

200K first day, so most certainly over 400K by Sunday.

It will be massive. I'm NOT a fan at all, but I cannot see anything below 400K.

I agree, as long as they remove that bloke barking!.

Leona must on about 1.85 million total now! :cheer:

The Brit females rule!! :)

For a UK debut act in the USA it's phenominal sales!. Huge achievment.

Leona has the double, official!!! Well done her :)

Congrats Leona, US number one album. :)

Yes, that's correct.

208k :) That's higher than expected!. So, first UK female national ever to have a number one US album! :)

Around 200K for Leona then. Amazing for a debut act in the US, even more amazing it's a Brit female. Well done Leona!

Thanks Ethereal ;)

Last chart run doesn't have the last 2 positions for spirit in the UK, It was 3 and 5.

She'll be the highest charting uk solo female act ever in the US album charts. not just debut.

Mariah has dropped to number 3 on Itunes, Leona is number 2. Madonna number 1. Leona is gaining on Madonna. Its very possible that Leona could go number one again next week.

Without her amazing voice and talent Leona would have got nowhere. People buy her records because they enjoy listening to her. Just like everyone else and their particular tastes do. No amount of puclicity and hype would have got her anywhere if she did'nt have such a fantastic voice.

I love this song more every time I hear it :)

Well done Leona! Wow, thats a BIG achievment!. :) Thats number one in 26 countries now for her. :)

Actually the most succesful genre this decade in the UK has been pop, followed by rock.
