It hasn't been added to USA radio... simply its one radio station [of the hundreds and hundreds in the US] that is playing BA on high rotation - its satellite radio as well which doesn't get too many listeners. ITL is the first single which will be added to Triple A radio on April 7. BA hasnt been 'added' officially - just played by one radio many times.

if your gonna quote me, quote me properly :P shes #100 on the tokio hot 100 before its actual release which is not bad unno. Tokio Hot 100 is like the unofficial official international artists singles chart. we should all vote for her and yeah... but then again I wanna see how Japan reacts to 'Delta' without our pushing so I'm not gonna get everyone to vote for her. The albums going to go well considering Delta puts at least 3 days promotion in it. I mean she did like 3 trips to Japan in 2006 - none of them were over a week each visit... and she got them going crazy over her so its a testament to Sonymusic Japan -- they know how to work Delta in getting the minimum amount of time with maximum promotion which helps Delta not only in Japan but also elsewhere like the UK where she needs to spend a lot of time to promote to go good.

How would you know if MI sold over 350 000. I mean although Delta did get a million for IE (over the xplatinum ships) it doesn't mean she sold 350 000 for MI. Think of Casey Donovan and other Idol failures. She got a 2xP shipment immediately but I don't know if it even sold platinum. Delta's shipments for MI went from 3xP to 5xP. So maybe we could assume that she got around 3xP (210, 000). But there's no evidence/proof of MI total sales anywhere I could find. And although 210, 000 is a success... Delta's campaign flopped when MI came in at #7, the whole Poo/Paris and Brian/Kerry saga. It occurred the whole campaign. One would think how Almost Here would have charted if there were no instores. It wasn't a complete failure because of Ootb and AH... but - instore... and - hype... where would Delta have really stood with MI? (That said with all of Delta's singles that have instores).

To be fair to Delta - she's recorded the album. Now its up to the Producers and Mixers and all that to sort the vocals out.. arrange them and then Delta gets back into the album process by making any adjustments to the tracklist... choosing single... bla bla bla. I just wished she'd tell us that instead of us assuming (or gathering info from the UK girls.)

Delta will of course release in the UK. The rumours appeared after Delta stopped releasing singles because of poor media response. So much money is being put into this record -- flying Delta left right and centre... Sony wouldn't pay that much for releases outside UK ... UK is probably the main market for this album... hopefully anyway

Yeah good point -- you're right... demos arent in full and yeah recording cudda been for all out of love, flawed or stepping out

I actually think she would know how to sing it because she and brian wrote it... and Reaching out was just a demo. The thing is -- remember when the UK girls caught up with Delta and, Delta and her A&R guy told them they just wrapped up the shortlist for the songs for the album. That shortlist is what Delta is recording. Before making the shortlist they would have listened to all these demos (probably over 100... well i wish anyway) and shortlisted it to about 20... and then Delta would start recording all these songs sometime after that shortlist was made... Right? Coz like I have proof of Delta recording exactly a year ago when the FIFA world cup was on -- but it was probably just demos. So she shortlist was made March 29ish... meaning Delta's probably been recording since April sometime. Probably not alot though because she was seen with Brian at TV Now and one of his instores and similar things. So I think the recording might finish sometime around August or September. Meaning album release around November or December... Do you reckon thats right? Because I know they record demos to like test-drive for when the album is being decided so they can record them properly. And if they made a good enough decision when doing that, then maybe Delta only has to record 14 or so songs which would cut the process down by like a month. So now am i not only confusing you, but I'm confusing myself. JOY!

^ Really... if you could find proof of that - i'd be heaps excited.

^ Quite a while. It seems like she's just got started into recording the album. She started AT LEAST around May 1 when she was in the US. I don't know of any recording before that. It takes around 4 months to record, JUST RECORD, an album. Well it took Missy Higgins that long and it seems about right. So depending on how long, how quick, and when Delta started recording - plus mixing, producing, instruments and all that stuff. It's possible for the album to be released this year - but if May 1 is when she started recording... that'd take her until the start of September for finished recording. Hopefully in the mean time instruments were done which leads mixing and producing (and anything I don't know about) which takes quite a long time to get right. Say - done by start of November. Delta could have done all the promo shots in between September and November and may have chosen the song she wanted to release already as the single. She might premiere the song on November 9 - her Birthday on like Video hits or something [wud b better on myspace] and then release the song two weeks after. And then December release for the album - anytime that fits because it would have been done by November. The thing is - she probably just did a shortlist of about 20 songs and shes recording all of them. She wud have a slight idea but wouldn't fully know until the songs have been completely done (mixing, producing). So the album wouldn't have been officially chosen November -- maybe Delta should be with them in mixing and producing so she has a full idea of what songs go on to the final product in the flesh instead of hearing it later. However if Delta started recording in March or April, or if she takes under 4 months to record about 20 songs [More than one song a week recorded] -- the albums and single could be brought forward.

w00t my hard work is being recognised on private forums i dont go on much. what an honour!

woah woah woah! Delta has and will not release a single in Japan - international artists do not do that. The Flawed video was only promotion for the album and it was never a physical single. And it wasnt a digital single either because Flawed was bought as an album track otherwise Delta would have had heaps of single releases all at once. Delta won't release another single in Japan for Innocent Eyes. She's done her work for Innocent Eyes in Japan (I thought that wasn't to be the case when they announced a DVD Deluxe version for March but as that got pulled its not going ahead) GUESS WORK I expect Delta to release her first single in June/July. She'll work Australia first, and then goto UK and Europe. And then she'll release the album in October/November. Second single will be before the album release and Delta will promote album by second single (as in album wud be october -- second single september... shed be in Australia in september) and then go to the uk and europe for album release promoting second single. then she would start her campaign in Japan with the release of the album. as there is no singles she would use a promotional video for the first single and most likely do a tour as promised.

Lol I was just about to agree before I found out you said it... haha

HEY PEOPLE omg its krystie :P lol I didnt know you were on here. BTW, I agree with everything... theres like a bunch of Aussie Delta Lovers who practically control the forum saying $h!t like 'Delta always wants it positive' or something like that and calling people 'not true' fans... wtf you know. BUT, has anyone noticed how good some of the topics have become [with a little bit of thanks to me ;)] - Lost Without Delta in the US (ALWAYS BEEN GOOD), A Musical Direction For Delta, UK Reality Check, Filler tracks, etc. ATM, woot at Delta! I just want bigger pix of her in the so called revealing pics... she looks hot *toot toot*
