Go Cheryl. :cheer:

I feel so sorry for him. He wallows in negativity so much that his life must be a misery.

Such a misguided soul. She doesn't need hype, her talent says it all. She will break from the reality show thing just like Kelly Clarkson has. Only Leona won't flop on her third album.

Lol, you crazy? The second album will be twice as good. She'll have had more time to mature then.

Six weeks at number one, nice Leona! :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

I think Leona will do the double again this week, and then lose number one in the singles next week. I'm a massive Leona fan, so I love her being at number one, but I think 6 weeks is fair enough. I don't want her to get over-exposed like Umbrella.

Take That fall at last. :z

Geez, this song has been around for agesss!

Lol. Guess CIN hasn't helped the Spice Girls much so far.

Why does everyone bum the Spice Girls? That's what I want to know. They already had their day in the sun. They can't even be bothered to sing live or put energy into their performances for their so-called 'comeback'. Instead they're relying on gimmicks and fashion. :puke2:

I think it's all related. Certifications are based on how many the shops buy, but how many the shopies buy (trade sales) is based on how many the public buy (public demand). So when you have an album like Leona's which is in very high demand and very highly anticipated, it means she gets certified a lot quicker.

Charisma only takes you so far. And unlike talent, charisma is something that can be grown and nurtured. Plenty of artists that are so called 'charismatic' are not naturally that way - they just learn to be that way in the industry. Leona can do the same.

They did. It's set to sell over 300k by the end of the week.

In my opinion you have a foul attitude. Whoops, did I say that out loud? :rolleyes:

Spirit is definitely a grower for me. I was a bit underwhelmed the first time I listened to it - I only really liked about 5 songs. By the third listen I was in love with every single one. The more you listen is the more you appreciate the different nuances and qualities of each track. So I would personally advise people not to be so quick in judging it.
