I think misses glass is single material, not angel. Angel sounds like to many other stargate tracks..this is at least different and the ending is great..really love it, i dont usually like this type of pop either. I have a few criticisms but its a good addition to the album, it really livens the album up from its ballad heaviness. I think forgive me will be even better though so cant wait for that.

Thats not the case. She reached #1 on US itunes with NO promotion at all- this was purely on the basis of her decent but not great amount of airplay at the time. She knocked usher off the top of itunes who had 3times her airplay. If it hadnt been for Oprah technically she would be #2 on on the billboard hot 100. Which is still a massive achievement in its self. luckily she got a big sales boost from oprah which managed to clinch her the #1. She would still be the first British artist in god knows how many years to get a #2. Her song climbed airplay on its own merit and requests at an astonishingly fast rate for an unkown artist, of course no where near the rate of the likes of usher and mariah. It was #1 most requested z100 in new york and is now on heavy rotation. People who dont know the facts are assuming that it was handed to her- do some research before jumping to this conclusion. She hasnt done the touring like many do to break america but with her backing and how well shes done with out any promotion, it isnt needed at the moment, shes concentrating on the big stuff. Futhermore, bleeding love has only just begun to really take off on airplay, due to how popular the song is-evident from its rise on itunes from minimal airplay, theres no reason why she cant go back to #1 after mariah and madonnas hype dies down, as i cant see them having as much longevity.

Im sure you will have to bite your words. Many people are having to now! leonas got two more definite smashes on her US release of spirit- 'forgive me' produced by akon and 'take a bow' produced by ryan tedder (who did bleeding love). And some other potential hits i.e misses glass, angel.

^ oh yeah, my bad i didnt read the post properly :wub:

Edit- Bleeding love $h!ts all over that and its a far bigger smash, TMB is good but it wouldn't do so well if it wasnt mariah releasing it. And no doubt bleeding love will have more longevity like apologize did. Well done to leona to get to #8 with no promotion which is the highest for a debut British artist since james blunt, she has surpassed amy winehouse who peeked at #9, leona hasnt even peeked yet!! i knew she would do it- breaking the states is imminent, there bleeding love for leona out there :D

ehh leona no contest.

Gotta be leona!

Duffy, cant stand kate nash.

Completely agree, she has bags of talent and has the material, unlike the others you mentioned, duffy, leona, and amy will last the distance, the others are either novelty or over hyped.

LOL, some people just havent got a scooby :lol:

yay love being right :yahoo:

I much prefer duffy, her songs are 100x better as well.

#1!! if not top 3. its really catchy and retro which is in atm. Shes way better than adele, i predict she will be big in 2008.

I think duffy will be the star of 2008 not adele, she has everything- her voice is really retro, tracks are catchy and unique, she has the LOOK- she is stunning, she has good stage presence, and has a lovely personality. Yep loving her. Have a feeling she will be massive this year. Adele is ok, but overrated and boring imo. and Laura Marling- seems to be another kate nash/ lily allen copy but better.

cant wait to hear those tracks, 'misses glass' sounds really interesting!

#1 for Leona in Australia next week then!!

cant wait for it, us here she comes!

I think shes #61! if thats on sales she thats only UK (some eu) in two months.

My order is: 2nd/3rd TAKE A BOW 2nd/3rd what ever it takes I think these two have very good radio appeal whereas homeless/footprints may not get as much airplay. I also think they are the edgy and show a different side to her which we want to keep the momentum going after bleeding love. 4th single: Footprints in the sand or homeless 5th single: I will be or better in time If 6th then: better in time or best you never had

Fantastic cant wait until shes goes over there to promote!

Leonas beaten all the big hitters-TT, spice girls, britney, i dont see why radio head are any different. And people arent only buying it as presants otherwise why was it #1 7 weeks previous to xmas :rolleyes:

judging by how BL did in newzealand, i predict for oz it will go #9 (is now) #3 #1!
