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

Jords 10-06-2012 07:21 PM

oh god dont start bringing up Leona in everything again, really did not miss that.

Jords 10-06-2012 07:23 PM

Anyway Ive only listened to the samples and nothing sounded that special so Im not gonna bother with the new album. Sad since Overcome was strong, especially for a XF contestant.

Firewire 10-06-2012 07:23 PM

heartbreak on hold is a good album and the charts are lying about how good it is

Callum 10-06-2012 08:11 PM

Anything Leona has ever released >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Heartbreak On Hold

Even Aiden who came 9th won't sell less than that when his album comes out lol.

But tbf XF acts always struggle to take off in the charts as 9 times out of 10 they're turned into singers from the 50's.

MeMyselfAndI 10-06-2012 09:15 PM

I will be getting Aidens album:D
I love his new song

It's actually a decent album so it's a shame to see it not doing so well when you consider it's better than most chart crap.

MeMyselfAndI 10-06-2012 09:24 PM

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.

Doogle 10-06-2012 09:26 PM

You're deluded if you think good music is determined by sales.

Ugh what am I doing people have tried to tell you this for 3 years LOL

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.

when you are wrong you are wrong

The only song I really liked by her was the one with Ne-Yo.

Callum 10-06-2012 11:19 PM

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.

aman201 10-06-2012 11:57 PM

People actually buy this gash?

Sales are poor for a reason, who the f wants to listen to a bloody Alexandra album?!

MeMyselfAndI 11-06-2012 02:58 PM

Ouch the album sold 6,731, & Dylan it kind of must be **** if it sold almost 20x less than Overcome as her own fans didn't by this album :joker:. To that degree of a flop it must be ****.. Leonas second album sold 160K in its first week in the UK & weird people said it flopped..

Her album has been getting poor reviews from critics too, So Scott & Doogle, I'm sorry you're wrong

Poor her.

MeMyselfAndI 12-06-2012 03:43 PM

It's #56 in the midweeks :laugh3:, It'll drop more by Sunday :elephant:
Estimated to sell less than 3K. So less than 10K sales in 2 weeks loll.
Her management must hate giving her a deal, she must have lost hundreds of thousands.
#Flop
