WOW that big already!, that got to #1 faster than beyonce did. gonna be massive.

Love it, good to have an xmas song at xmas for a change.

Ok edited. They sold out in sainsburies of spirit, i got the last copy.

Its a good idea becuase it means new songs can be added which are potential hits. And if people want to buy the album new buyers or old thats up to them, noones forcing them to part with the money, i find this argument ridiculous, there such as thing as free choice, its the same price and its got all the extra stuff which is a good deal. As proved by leonas album, going #1, high selling albums can still sell well.

Edit, saw you were quoting someone else.

This so much better than his first single, good performance as well.

Leona is #1 in the midweeks :D

Wow at those itune bars!! is that a reflection of how it would of done in the UK? I still hope it can do well when released in two weeks, is it against Take that? its like BL all over gain.

Woo, great for leona. Didn't expect #2 in the midweeks. Would be great if she could get #1 again with the same album!

In the short run for sales good move, in the long run bad move.. If she got a massive hit now, and the resulting hype, she will sell more on album two. I dont believe many will just get the album as they could go and get SP's version instead. Her management are forgetting theres already a version out there and many people dont care as long as the lyrics are the same its already rising up itunes.

Judging by that if it was released to UK itunes it would be #1 this week.

Has anyone got the irish itunes bars?

Completely agree, cant believe it!! it would do so much more for her profile and hype for the next album if she got another #1, then she would sell more of her next album... but this is syco thinking short term again not long term... how many cockups can we do to screw with leonas career: 1) Lets not release another single for 5 months, and kill her momentum and hype in the UK so we can get extra xmas sales for the album 2) as a result of leaving it so long and public demand, lets release FM to radio and music channels 2 months prior to release so people get bored and download illegally. 3) Lets NOT release FM when the competition are on sunday, lets release it monday so it misses out on a day of sales and cant catch the others. 4) Lets not release 'run' after huge public demand on the xfactor, lets leave it 3 weeks when the demands died down and xfactor viewers have either downloaded it illegally or are not bothered anymore. People who will buy the album will anyway, people who dont want to spend the money for 'run' will get it another way, simple as that.

Wont chart now... Itll be lucky to get #1 on 8th of december when take that is out. Such a ridiculous decision.

BTW, Run is #1 on irish itunes since last night... Has anyone got popularity bars for that? What a shame for the UK. Idiots!
