AMO

down to #6 on itunes... optimist in me still thinks #4 is possible, but i think positions 4, 5 and 6 will be much closer than originally hoped for! still hoping that it stabilises with increased airplay, just wish there was some more promo planned! released in germany today and around the #70 mark on itunes... seems to be some interest in europe, but nothing major so far... still, as a reminder that leona exists i think collide is doing its job, and setting her up for the next single and album :-)

i think example is the bigger problem... he is above leona combined on itunes... so may be able to pull ahead by the weekend... olly is close on itunes now, but she's been well ahead all week, so hopefully she can stay ahead of him... i really think official #4, #5 and #6 will be close tho :-(

yay... #3 in Ireland (Pixie #10, Sats #6) shame Christina Perri picked up at the end of the week and passed her, but top 3!!! :-)

yeah, pop bars numbers seem to have reverted too... almost exactly what they were at around 4pm

oh, Collide is also #3 on UK TV airplay midweeks according to NielsonMusicUK :-) i noticed that on the 7day rolling radio airplay chart it is also increasing nicely... up to #54 :-D

Collide was released to US iTunes yesterday... on the singles, it is currently #224 and the EP shows up at #925 (strangely)... the EP is also #537 on the albums. Not expecting too much from this in the US seeing as its had no promo so far, and as far as i know hasnt gone for official adds at US radio (??)... so all in all, i think being in these positions on US iTunes is a good sign that she still has some hardcore fans out there :-) EDIT: second singles entry is the radio edit from the EP, the first is the actual single release

agreed... refresh buttons wearing out! been v slow tonight!

not sure how much u can really tell from the popbar numbers... its all dependent on whats going on with #1, increase / decrease, and the rate that they are increasing or decreasing... but we dont have that information :-S i suppose they can give a general feel for whether someone has has a good or bad update, but thats about all i think :-)

i thought it showed them both decreasing... maybe i missed an update :-)

Are they climbing? i havent seen updated live pop bars for ages, but i thought the last few updates had them both decreasing in comparison with pixie?

Yeah, must just be an iTunes error (or as some people have said, they may always put joint credits in alphabetically) but it is credited as 'Leona Lewis / Avicci' on the other sites ive looked at... and the EP artwork on iTunes even shows 'Leona Lewis / Avicci' :-)

I think Leona's percentage per these updates has decreased less than all the other songs around her (in the last few updates that ive seen)... and assuming these popbars are on an indexed comparative to whoever is number 1, that means if she is decreasing its at a slower rate than the others, or she may still be increasing, simply at a slower rate than pixie! either way, im quite happy with leonas last few updates :-)

Looking at latest popbars (not that theyve updated recently) example and olly are v close... so if Leona continues to move up, number 4 may be the next stop :-)

#1 - Pixie #2 / #118 - Sats #6 / #112 - Leona Gettin interesting!!!

yep... thems the facts... and good on em, theyre doin surprisingly well... will be very interesting seein how the next week plays out :-)

Leona is #7 and #114... will be #6 by next update :-)

#1 (and #113) - Sats #3 - Pixie #7 (and #114) - Leona :-)

Leona finally #10... hopefully she can continue to rise quite quickly now :-S

#2 (#134) - Saturdays #3 - Pixie #11 (#145) - Leona (come on!!!)

its still really early... far too early to know for sure what kinda order these songs are gonna chart... as people have mentioned there is the possibility of some front-loaded sales, dropping off mid-week, pixies promo tonight, and to be honest i dont think leonas promo from last night has kicked in just yet, seeing as the single wasnt available at the time of the performance, its effect may be a stable climb rather than a single boost? just a possibility... good luck to all of them tho... kinda upsetting reading some negative 'hope xxx flops' comments... personally i cant take any satisfaction in other peoples failure (even if it was to involve simon 'smug' cowell) :-P

I am probably under a 'misconception' of support in a 'leona lewis forum', but its only coz im a lover not a hater, lol... not suggesting anyone is a hater by the way! I do see your point with the vocal critique, coz it wasnt perfect to begin with... i do think she nailed some of the bigger notes tho... she is in a difficult position tho... if she had led with a big ballad, she coulda given a performance like run or bleeding love, but then suddenly the vocals would be (conveniently) forgotten and she'd be criticised for doin the same old thing! ive said it before, i honestly dont think she can win... with success come haters i guess!!! Again, only opinions, and id never shoot a leona fan :-P hehe PS. thanks for the reply Slick, coz i really didnt mean to suggest that you were being too negative, or that i had anything against you stating your opinion... i have a couple of glasses of wine, so find it a bit more difficult to make my posts make sense as the evening goes on (a couple of glasses doesnt sound much, but u should see the size of my wine glass!!! :-D)

Slick is entitled to an opinion obviously, but maybe they do have expectations that are too high? in my comment, i kinda alluded to the slightly dodgey start, but in a positive way, i.e. it 'kicked in from the chorus'... anyway, this is a different kinda song... difficult to perform live... not too many 'dance acts' would do that live!!! it aint a big ballad, so she was clearly not expecting the 'OMG her voice is sooo stunning' kinda praise, but actually, from the first chorus her voice was pretty stunning!!! Leona gets enough arsey comments on all the other forums, perhaps on the leona forum we could just be glad that she has consistently maintained her live vocals to a standard that very few artists could ever achieve? :-) BTW dont wanna sound preachy, or take anything away from people expressing opinions, but '... woulda been better if...' comments would be more useful in a negative post surely? that way there's something constructive to back up the comment, rather than just negativity on a forum that is kinda here to support an artist!?!?!

gotta be a hard song to perform live, and she sounded great... especially when the chorus kicked in... really good... hopefully it'll set her up nicely for the itunes release :-D

Haha, yeah... definitely think leona has the best slot (should i re-phrase that!) :o

haha... some of the comments on these threads are so dramatic! love it! i quite like the cover... there seem to be some people on various forums that are surprised its a head shot of leona!?!?! who else would it be? and whats wrong with a head shot? hehe... anyway... quality of the music is far more important than font or any other insignificant detail, and i dont think she'll disappoint :-) x
