Her smash album has estimatedly sold 7k copies lol. Marcus's album had stronger first week sales. The album would of peaked aswell, Its no where to be seen on itunes.
I love how Echo by Leona is considered a flop with 2.5M sales & no radio support & 2 singles, When Alexandra has already had 2 singles & achieved a whopping 7k sales. And Yes this is relevant as they're both X Factor winners. Looks like Leona has outlasted yet another winner, Only Little Mix & Leona are left.
Hopefully Alex will eventually achieve a milestone of 50k sales. Worse flop than Joe & Leon :laugh:

To be fair she hasn't had no radio support this era. For some reason Capital FM have blacklisted her and she hasn't been on the Radio 1 Playlist either. Those are awful debut week sales though and I can't see her getting a hit from this album. Wouldn't be surprised to hear the news that she's been dropped by her record label soon.

Also the whole album is generic & just bad. Overcome was so much better..(All Night Long, The Silence, BB & BH were obvious hits before). This album has possibly 1 more top 40 with Oh La La

Fair enough, i get what your saying, but she has had no radio play and she has chosen the wrong singles. Ooh La La is definite top 10 and really catchy.
Also, Between The Sheets and What Money Cant Buy are NOT generic at all and they show of her vocals, she has an amazing voice.
Also, listen to 'Beating Still' its the second track on the deluxe version, and thats RedOne produced and would defiantly SMASH, that would be top 5 possibly top 3. Radios would swallow up Ooh La La and Beating Still because they are radio friendly and would do well.
I blame the single choices in my opinion. And just because its not gone to number 1 or whatever DOESNT make it a bad album, infact its helped me through a tough time (got my heartbroken didnt i lol) it makes me sad that its not doing as well as it COULD DO, because shes talented, beautiful and shes really nice, its just these bloody radio stations.
And it IS the radio silence which has something to with this, my bestfriend, who is a massive fan of hers didnt even realize she released Let It Go and Elephant, he thought her last single was The Silence, and he was pretty shocked when i told him her album was out...

It kind of is a bad album.. It cant have 4 pretty good songs and the rest generic & morph into one. It feels rushed, which is weird as it was made in like 2 years, whereas Overcome had 9 months

No it's not, it's generic as hell.. I was wondering when the next one would arrive anyway, just 1 more to comment. Anyways If her music was so great people would talk by ear, It would certainly be doing better, Good Music normally atleast sells well. Her music is **** - end of. Overcome was good, thats why it did well. This on the otherhand is a joke of an album.

I agree. There are like 5 good tracks, the rest is all generic eurotrash that could be sung by anyone. Not to mention Elephant and Let It Go were horrific single choices. Oh La La should have been the lead single with Tonight serving as the second single, both so much more radio friendly than the two they went with. Her management are morons for allowing this nasty album to be released when she hasn't even had one proper hit from it.

I think her role as a guest judge on last years X-Factor is partly to blame for her flopping. She lost a lot of fans and gained a lot of haters from that gig. Also worth noting that Let It Go fell 41-73 on this weeks singles chart. Her least successful single to date.

We aren't wrong. Don't you ****ing ever tell me I'm wrong when talking about an opinion.
In my opinion it's a good album. You're one who always obsesses things being opinion so understand that. I am not "wrong" in having an opinion because it didn't sell well. Most people wouldn't hear the album unless they bought it anyway, so the lack of sales isn't completely down to it being "bad". I don't give a flying **** about what you or others think of the album. I like it, it's not the most amazing thing I've ever heard but in my opinion it is decent.
Therefore I am not wrong.
