Alexandra's latest single flops ...
 

Disturbing trend with recent X Factor contestants whilst the show is off air

Her latest single only managed to get to number 8 despite extensive airtime. It has been available for download for a while, that might have had a bit of an impact but still ...

Thats a shame, its quite a good song

No.8 is in the top 10, hardly a 'flop'

For an X Factor winner though and with all the promotion its been given ...

Broken Heels > Bad Boys

Don't understand it. The novelty of Bad Boys being the lead single must've made it sell.

Broken Heels?

I love that song, I hate her but I love it and Im fed the **** up hearing Bad Boys all the time on TV its not even that good a song.

Broken Heels is.
I love the girls in it.
And the part were the music stops and then starts back up again and shes like 'Oh Oh Oh..'


:)
Love it.

Shame it flopped, Bad Boys should of not this.

Maybe its finding the line between good promotion and overkill. They might have overstepped the line. I really like it though, its really good in the clubs as well so I don't understand how it never sold as much as it should do ...

Broken Heels is way better then Bad boys
thought it would have done more well.

She needs to release The Silence tbh.

8 is very good. The thing is, it's up against fresh new artists.... Iyaz, Owl City, Glee (technically artist(s) and 3OH!3... if you think about it, here's the top 10.

1. Owl City
2. Iyaz
3. Glee
4. 3OH!3
5. Sidney Sampson
6. Example
7. Journey
8. Alexandra
9. Lady Gaga
10. JLS

There's three UK artists in that top 10.... Example, Alex and JLS. So she's technically not done bad at all with all the over-sea artists taking over the chart. It's sold over 100,000+ copies in the UK alone since it's release 18th Jan which would of got top 3 easily. It'll climb to about 5 I think.

Bad Boys is better than Broken Heels:).

A trend in the charts recently is that a fair few top ten songs tend to rise before falling. I expect that it'll go up a place or two before falling. It's not a flop really, Bad Boys and her album have sold enough to deem her a success.

Not really a flop. It should rise next week.

Its been in the charts for weeks, as soon as the album was out for download in oct(?) people will have downloaded it.
They should have waited a little longer before they released it to radios etc but as someone said no.8 is hardly a flop

Flop? Is it bollocks a flop... selling over 100,000 singles and getting to number 8 is not a flop.

Its about proportion. If she can't compete against new artists with all the backing she has had and the type of background she has, can she really survive in America?

It might have been out for a bit, but theres usually a surge of sales when its released. Physicals sell many more (usually).

Of course she'll survive in the US tbh i wouldnt be surprised if she was more popular in the US than leona, as much as i like leona she cant do fast upbeat dance tracks like Alex.
Thats the sorta stuff the US loves. Plus having Flo Rida and Ne-yo on the album will help.
Do we know what she is releasing first over in the US is it BB or BH, or something from the US version of her album?

"Bad Boys" has flopped in Australia too.

Hardly a flop. Think the whole fresh new artists excuse is a bit lame too, look at Black Eyed Peas they've had 3 number ones in a row and they've been around for years.

Hope it gets higher in the chart next week.

i like Broken Heels more than Bad Boys!!

Jedward ftw :D

I just realised, it had an official release last week. So yeah, might rise next week.

Thats what I mean, its moved up about 3 places since having a physical release.

I guess number 8 will be considered as a success for Joe's debut single. ;laugh:

I wouldnt say it flopped lol

I thought this was about her new song. No. 8 is a perfectly respectable chart entry. Leona's last single only got to 14.
