A little bit of pleasant news as it’s not a very nice day today.
It seems Leona Lewis and the team behind her can do no wrong and they have played the American market perfectly.
Leona is predicted to debut at No.1 in the U.S. album chart this week, the first British woman to achieve this. This comes only three weeks after the talented 23-year-old landed herself in the record books with her first No.1 hit single "Bleeding Love” on America’s Billboard's Hot 100 singles chart.
Midweek sales figures indicate that Leona’s debut album ‘Spirit’ has sold 205,000 copies with the nearest rival from George Strait (who?) selling only 59,000 copies on the Billboard 200 album chart.
‘Our Leona’, has come a long way since winning the X Factor a little over a year ago and it seems she has a long way to go. I admit there are tracks on Spirit which I’m not particularly keen on and others which I love. I suppose this album has been made deliberately made this way to tempt everyone with a little of everything. I hope that will not be like this all of the time though as Leona is better than this. She has a magnificent voice and it would be unfair to make her a jack of all trades as her talent would not last as long as it deserves to last.
Well done Leona.
