No chance of a top 20 given the Spotify placement - the I’d be happy with a couple weeks in the Top 40. Was going over the numbers and Leona will be near x3 Platinum for OMS next year I think. Article from OCC had her at 1.46m units on an article dated 06/12/23. Assuming that data is up to date: Chart 14/12/23 - charted at 35 est sales 17,000 (Taylor is at #33 with 17,781) Chart 21/12/23 - charted at 34 est sales 17,000 (rough est as no data for close positions) Chart 28/12/23 - charted at 32 est sales 20,000 (Laufey is at #31 with 20,582) Chart 04/01/24 - charted at 29 est sales 35,000 (Darlene is at #31 with 33,690) Estimated updated total = 1,549,000 Chart 29/11/24 - charted at 82 est sales 5,000 (rough est as no data for close positions) Chart 06/12/24 - charted at 45 est sales 14,000 (rough est as no data for close positions) Time will tell for how long it’ll take for OMS to cross x3 Platinum. Kinda frustrating as Kelly was behind Leona on that same article and she has just had her x3 Platinum announcement. Keep streaming folks :)

When is the OCC making a rule that says only UK Spotify Playlists contribute to the chart???? I doubt any Brit can decipher that Sia song and it’s lyrics.

This annoys me because Happy although it didn’t do BL 2.0, it is still one of my favourite Leona songs, vocals and video. I was at the Labrinth tour when she hit those high notes in Happy and it made me gasp every time. It was very much a solid song to lead a campaign. As agreed with radio folk etc music changed. Gaga became massive and alternative sounds were the craze. Black Eyed Peas were killing it. Kesha was brewing. If not Happy,I genuinely feel like none of Echo could have led that album campaign and a different result would happen. Yes OMH was good back in 2009 but it was not comparable to Gaga and the other hit sounds of that time. If OMH was released…it would surely alienate casual fans as literally nothing else on the album sounds like it. So would they be giving a false impression.? A new up tempo Leona……with one song that is uptempo. Lol When are Leona fans going to understand that it isn’t ONLY Simon and Nicola that have messed up at times. Leona imo was lazy in her prime. especially if you look at other up and coming artists with hits in the charts. No tours. Little promotion. Little interviews. No collaborations. No festivals(!!!!!!). I am still annoyed all these years later at how we as fans have been left aside and only ever acknowledged if and when someone feels like it…nope.

That song is not good. Wtf is going on. The voice is gone :( I guess my Leona fix will be One More Sleep only

Entering the chat for my yearly Leona fix. Shock. No promotion. No tweets. No insta lives. No new music. Getting beat in the charts by Sia

It’s actually disgusting how much Spotify playlists that are huge in America playba part in the UK charts. Snowman by Sia is awful yet is getting crazy numbers being in the top 10 on that Spotify playlist

Well final nail in the coffin of Leonas career? Can’t even shift 1500 vinyls to get a top 100 on the uk album chart. I said I was done years ago with caring but now I’m in genuine shock and have given up. Good luck to those going to the tour. She’s now as relevant as Gabriella Cilmi was back in 2010.....

Question - how many watched the live stream? I didn’t. The song is rubbish and it’s not what I waited 5 years for.

Who are we kidding? The song is not very good. It’s not going to be on my Xmas playlists and I doubt it’ll make any dent into streaming. My advice to any Leona fan is to stream the heck out of One More Sleep and help get the album closer to a platinum certification. Kelly Clarksons Xmas song, underneath the tree, is already doing well on Spotify and will have an amazing chart run this year. Let’s get OMS a decent run of 5 weeks, like last year, cmon,!!!!!!!

I hope not as it would be incredibly embarrassing to not even crack the top 40.

I’ve been saying for years now that there isn’t a “they”. IMO Leona has been a very laid back and uninterested artist. She doesn’t care about releasing music and tbh I don’t think she cares for her fanbase as the career has gone on. You can point to more negatives in her career than positives. I was a big fan,went to the tours, watched the 2am Ustreams and done the preorders etc. Yet we are still in the dark about everything. If she releases a new Xmas album she is certainly doing everything to make it not a success...

I love Mariah fan delusion.

So...thoughts on chart placement this year? I'd be happy with 3 weeks in the top 40 and a top 20 peak. Im not expecting another Top 10....no exposure/X Factor performance etc. I am baffled as to why it is doing so poorly on Spotify in comparison to Underneath the Tree by Kelly......

Having heard Flying on My Own in the summer...i was so pumped for this album. I literally can only listen to Flying on My Own and Courage....the rest is very much off the mark for me.

Imagine being Calvin Harris and Rihanna comes knocking for a tune.....remember this was Rihanna coming off the end of the Loud era.....doesn't matter how talented Leona is...Rihanna was getting that song. Burn is a weird one....i love and prefer Leonas version (and i listen to it still) but its not a memorable song for Ellie at all....kind of a forgotten hit imo. Halo wasn't Leonas.....
