Up to #33 today, I wouldn't say 3x platinum is out of the question just yet, although I guess it depends if it gets restocked in the shops anymore?

Just to say it;'s not actually Rihanna singing

Thanks to Jay on Boardaloud (doesn't include this week) 816,959 - 3 Words 877,348 - Fight For This Love 321,782 - Parachute 300,658 - 3 words

This was performed no fewer than 3 times in yesterday's Dublin X Factor auditions, and loads of times elsewhere. I reckon it could well perhaps get close to 1m when the show is back on air

HEr PR have said no decision has been made

Here's the FFTL demo: (originally called Fight 4 this love, thank god they changed that) Happy Hour, which was originally meant for Rihanna: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BJeiLShDfw Here is the original version of DTATL - (it says demo but the singer actually released it in 2006) As for live miming track, quite a few artists do it. To be honest I think if an artist is going to mime it's good they at least put a bit of "effort" into the backing track instead of just miming to the autotuned studio version.

Problem I think is that she can't really sing her songs this era. or at least FFTL certainly, it really doesn't seem a good fit for a voice at all. I think the first demo for it was leaked in 2006 or '07, so it's been around for a while. It seems they picked it up for her as a quick cash-in thanks to her marriage problems (and now it's become very ironic for the very same reason!) Same with other songs on the album - all are either old demos, rejects or covers (DTATL) that had been around for years. Hopefully with album number two they'll take their time and record/write songs for her and, more importantly, her voice, like with Girls Aloud. She can sing (admittedly not amazing, but she can hold a tune for sure), she's shown that with Girls Aloud. She just needs the right material.

FFTL has been used a lot at The X Factor auditions, I see it getting a boost in the summer

I am the only one that finds it a bit funny that after writing hundreds of songs she's recording Jade Ewen rejects?

This has been pushed back until December and her deal with Geffen is now "off"

Sent PMs :D It's also on GAM if you're on there

Are you a mod on this forum? I know some forums don't allow links to leaks to be posted

Not sure if we're allowed to posts links to leaks here? But anyway the track she mimes to has leaked in full HQ, including the dance break

Labrinth looks to have worked with her too - http://www.rwdmag.com/2010/06/labrinth-sig...o-simon-cowell/

Seeing as this is almost certainlyy confirmed now, I'll give ita bump.

You can only get the top 10 unfortunately, but it was 20 last week according to that page so: ?-20-6

FFTL goes to 6 in Italy! Her second top 10, out doing 3 words! source: http://www.fimi.it/classifiche_digital.php

It won't get back into thw top 75, they only covered about 20 seconds at most and you really couldn't tell what it was (Amanda had to remind Simon!) I'm really hoping one of the dance groups does a routine to one of her songs though

But Mrs = married Even if she keeps the Cole name, she's still Ms Cole

JLS

Pixie Lott is performing Turn It Up tonight...

Cheryl's not on it, she's on tour in France. Alex is either in Australia, or coming back so maybe. Leona's on tour, but she's not performing that night. It might just be SuBo, I haven't see how long the final night show is

Up 1 place this week and a sales increase, so up to at least 807,234 now

I thought it was out today? If they add it by performance it should help a lot - perhaps even her first top 10?
