This really grown on me! love it now.

lol this always makes a reappearance. My fave xmas song ever!

Rain on your parade should have got higher, love it!

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.

Just out of interest, did you moan when 'the promise' benefited from being released on the back of an xfactor performance?

The person who sells the most should be number 1, regardless off the music, thats what the charts are based on sales not artistry. People are loving her version of 'run' only have to look at the 80,000 people who requested after the live lounge performance, and the youtube views it has after a couple of days, and its popularity on irish itunes to see that. So if its popular and people want to buy it, why shoudl it be #1. Since when did the sales based chart change? :rolleyes: I have to laugh at the vocal few on here who are always outraged when leona gets a number 1, as if its less deserved than any other artist because she got her foot in the door by going on the xfactor rather than myspace or youtube.

Why? she had hype surrounding her comeback, many on here were saying it would be the biggest selling album of the year. Up until the stunning performance of 'run' on the xfactor leona had hardly any hype, she did hardly any promotion for FM, and since has only done one, albiet great performance of 'run'. Both have been out of the spotlight in the UK for a while, dido needed promotion as aprt from her fans people wont even though shes releasing anything since her single didnt do well. Leonas presence has been missing until recently. The difference is leona did some great promotion with a song that suits her auidence, dido didnt.

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!
