Alexandra Burkes album "Heartbreak On Hold" Charts at #18 - (UPDATE Midweeks - #56 )
 

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:

.............

I'd assume to breakeven she'll need to sell 250K albums with all the time & effort put in, aswell as her flopping singles :joker:

Leona Lewis is pure class! Love her! :lovedup:

This album definately is so far, its not a matter of opinion It's solid fact.. :conf:

She hasn't done worse than Joe or Leon though, which is what you're insinuating.

Vanessa you are a brilliant member here:D. Unlike Alexandra she can use her voice to sell records & not her body

Her album is amazing. i dont care about album sales lol.

I just adore her! She can sing anything and make it sound great! :amazed:

From the huge losses she'll encounter I'd say argubly Joe has greater profit, Considering Halleuyah she gets none of it

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.

Clearly you haven't heard her EP of cover versions she released last year.

I have and i love them all! :dance:

Well you should considering she'll never have another album lol. What record company would go out of their way to sign someone who'll struggle to sell 50K albums when half the country know who she is and about 1/100th of their twitter followers bothered to buy her album in the first week.

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

who cares

Hes so Jel of her success. Three covers Leona released purely & only for her fans sold 5X more in its first week than this album :elephant:

Iris was so gooddd!

and as andrew has already pointed out the album is amazing and nobody cares about sales and stop comparing her to leona this album is better than anything leona has done/will do SOLID FACT

She's got so much talent! I'd love to see her live! :pipe:

omfg ikr im jel of her doin well! i wish i was reem like her! no.

She is no match for Leona

Good riddance Alexandra.

you shut up and leave

that wasnt aimed at anyone in particular just everybody who doesnt see how amazing alexandra is compared to sarah jessica parker

Leona is fantastic! Love her voice so much! :worship:

:elephant:
loll

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...

I've seen her live:D
She is amaze & is note perfect, "Run" especially was sooo good

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

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

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.

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

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

:worship:

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.

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.

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.

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
