How is "Meet me Halfway" doing so well?

[MeMyselfAndI]

It's been in the charts for 7 weeks and yet its weekly sales are still so high? Every fan must of brought like 7 copies? How is it possible to be in the top 10 for 7 weeks and then go to number 1 from Weekly sales?

Surely as Leonas song has just been realised, her weekly sales should be higher because her song is newer. But the Black Eyed peas sales is somehow higher.

Or do i just not get the charts or are the BEP's so big that they can be number 1 for an infinite amount of weeks..

I'm so puzzeled, will Leona get number 1 or the BEP's..

Leonas "Happy" has dropped sales so much.

[Jack_]

Leona's been a bit quiet for a while, Black Eyed Peas have been everywhere and a lot of people who liked BBP and I Gotta Feeling will buy this. Leona has to work harder for people to go out and buy Happy.

Happy isn't that much of a good song as well, IMO anyway, and as much as I'm not a fan of Meet Me Halfway either, I think it's better.

[Arneldo]

I don't get it. Mainly because I think MMHW is a load of sssshhh.

[Captain.Remy]

Because this song is one of the best they've ever made. People can recognise talent (yes, it happens sometimes).
And well, Leona is nowhere as big as the BEP. People bought her album the first time because she was new, fresh, she had a catchy song but this time it's going to be harder. It's usually what happens with new artists from Reality-TV shows anyway.

[MeMyselfAndI]

Do you think Meet Me Halfway will be number 1?

[Adamw92]

I dunno, I wanted Leona to be the one to knock JLS off #1 :( :( :( :( :(

[MeMyselfAndI]

Black Eyed Peas could concor the world with the amount of fans they have, they have a never ending amount of fans, they could atleast run for president..

[Beastie]

I would rather see BEP at number 1 than Leona

but really I want Robbie Williams at number 1

[KKBL]

BEP are #1 because they performed on TXF,their song is way more instant and catchier than Leona's,their song is being played on the radio every couple of minutes and the video is always on the music channels.
All Leona has at the moment to suppoert her single is an XF performance

[MeMyselfAndI]

This is so unfair :(

[Harry!]

This is so unfair :(

Lifes not fair.

[Adamw92]

Hopefully she'll maybe get it next week which is doubtful because of the X Factor finalists single coming out

[Jack_]

It's all to play for this week. Next week the XF Finalists will take #1 no matter what, and will end up staying there for a fair few weeks.

X Factor takes over the chart once again. :joker:

[MeMyselfAndI]

Why would Simon put the BEP with Leona, Leonas his own act why would he do that. If BEP were 1 week earlier Leona would be number 1 easily..

[Captain.Remy]

BEP > Leona. Not even debatable lol
She's going to suffer from the 'second album' syndrome.

[Jack_]

Why would Simon put the BEP with Leona, Leonas his own act why would he do that. If BEP were 1 week earlier Leona would be number 1 easily..

Because anything could happen.

Alexandra went first on the first show, Robbie followed her. She got #1, not him.

[biglover]

I dont know either, i was so shocked when i found out that Leonas sales had dropped, Its such a dull lack luster song

[MeMyselfAndI]

I actrally really like "Meet me halfway" But its been in the charts and its done really well for 7 weeks, thats really good but how can it go to number 1. There weekly sales are a recurring high amount.. Leona should surely get the number 1 spot.

[King Gizzard]

Its one of the most boring songs I've heard in ages

If ive got a feeling wasnt such a hit Meet Me Halfway wouldnt be

[MiuMiu]

Leona's songs all sound so samey.
I think that people are sick of her singing really slow depressing songs.

Meet Me Halway is different from Boom Boom Pow and I gotta Feeling. It is instantly catchy and there is a cool ass video for it too.

Happy is a lovely song. It's just really sad and it takes a good few listens before you can get into it.

I think people have gone of Leona really bacuse she hasn't done anything to prove that she is not a one-trick pony.
And it's a recession. People don't want to be reminded of how they are not ''Happy".
:(

[Tom4784]

The thing with Leona is they'll be going for the slow and steady approach. I can probably see Happy being quite a leggy song plus she'll end up dominating the charts next week.

She'll probably end up getting number 1 with that Outta my Head though.

[MiuMiu]

She'll probably end up getting number 1 with that Outta my Head though.

I don't think so.
At that stage, she'll be competing with Rihanna, Gaga and Timbaland for number 1.

Mariah and Beyonce will have new songs out too, but Leona will do better then them.

[alc09]

I'm so puzzeled, will Leona get number 1 or the BEP's..



Hopefully BEP will, theres is a much better song.

Leona is a bit of a man hater too. :nono: Well her songs seem to have them theme.

[Stacey.]

because its a fabbbb songg :D

When's that single coming out? Surely she won't have to worry about them as they release singles every month or two?

Timbaland's gonna suffer for his second album as he was more a flavour then the year then an artist. When it comes to producing it's all about redOne now. Rihanna won't get a number 1 with RR, good song but the chavs won't go for it.

Mariah won't be a threat with her cover, Beyonce and Gaga could be troublesome for Leona but I think at least here Leona will have the home advantage.

As far as I know they are all releasing their albums on the 23rd of November.
So around that time.

Also, there is the new track Estelle has with David Guetta to compete with.

I just think maybe people are over her?
I mean "Happy" didn't do that well at all. It should've done so much better.
And she was backed up with an X Factor preformance and it didn't help her at all.

There will be A LOT of interest in Rihanna's new album. Since her thing with Chris Brown and also the fact that her last album was excellent and had like 4number ones on there.

I dont know.
I just think Leona's gone stale.
:(

[KKBL]

Leona's second single wont be out until January or Febuary so none of those singles will be competition.

[MiuMiu]

Leona's second single wont be out until January or Febuary so none of those singles will be competition.

Well in that case all those guys will be on their second single release over here at that stage so, yes, they will still be competiton.

Rihanna will have her second single, Gaga will have Telephone with Beyonce (DEFINITE NUMBER 1 BTW), Timbaland will have his track with Mylie Cirus probably etc.

She's doomed if you ask me lol.
:joker:

[Ross]

Well Black Eyed Peas are number one! :dance:
Leona #2.

[Lewis.]

Grrrrr.

[MeMyselfAndI]

If only she released "Outta my head" or "I got you" she would have it.

[MeMyselfAndI]

I hope all the Black Eyed pea's people die.

[Ross]

I hope all the Black Eyed pea's people die.

sicko.

[MeMyselfAndI]

sicko.

Not literally, it's just a saying for beating the invinsible leona.

[Ninastar]

I hope all the Black Eyed pea's people die.

Wtf?!!

[MiuMiu]

I hope all the Black Eyed pea's people die.

Er, am....
This reminds me of Jodie Foster's stalker.

They won't all release at the same time, it'd do nothing but restrict everyone's sales. Miley Cyrus was never graced the UK top ten so I doubt she'd do it with Timbaland who's been all but forgotten. Gaga and Beyonce will be a threat IF they release at the same time but chances are they won't.

The reason why Gaga's, Rihanna's and Timbaland's albums are being released at the same time is because most albums grow legs and sell consistently throughout each single. Singles are a different ball game alltogether.

[Matt]

I hope all the Black Eyed pea's people die.

I hope Leona Lewis gets punched in the face at a book signing.

(DISCLAMER: I don't really.)

so invincible that she was beaten :laugh2:

Leona is a joke, so are BEP's. Just a shame what is in the charts today.
