I love how that's the only part of my post you had an answer for :P If it takes 2000 copies to go top 50 then it doesn't take much to get to 75 on a slow month. Obviously it will require more in a month like December where people are desperate for a Xmas number 1. *edit* 'Knockdown' only had 4000 copies pressed and it still went to number 45. And all assuming that not EVERY single copy was sold because it was only sent to *some* HMV stores and not everyone could find it.

But '4 U I Will' wasn't even a single. It was used for the 'Ford' advert and was put out with the thought 'well, we might aswell ...' and I was told that by Alesha and her management. If they were serious about it then it would have been put out in CD format and they would have pushed it with promo. She stands a good chance. 'Lipstick' went to number 14 and I didn't think it was an *amazing* track either. Polydor were so half-arsed about everything with her which is why she never did better. They messed up the release dates with both her singles. I had to text Alesha and tell her that 'Lipstick' was added to iTuines on a WEDNESDAY and she didn't even know. Her label screwed everything up, therefore she lost out on 3 days worth of digital sales. Since then she's won over a lot of fans, has worked with a LOT of great producers and writers on her album and after a meeting with her label I have full faith that they are behind her %100. They are putting a lot of money and time into her. Her video will be debuted on GM:TV which alone gets millions of viewers a morning, and her first performance is SCD which gets 11 millions viewers (who voted for her to win and I know a lot of them are now behind her with everything ...) No use knocking her yet. Let's just see what happens. As much as I want her to get number 1, I know she won't because of the competition but she could still achieve top 10. For anyone to say she'll be struggling for top 75 is ridiculous. You can shift 100 copies and get to 75. I could get a 75 charting if I fancied putting a single out ....
