It is Official! Alexandra Burke's "Hallelujah" is the biggest selling single of 2008!

Alexandra Burke will not be releasing her debut album until Autumn, reports a UK newspaper.

There were originally plans to bring out an album as soon as the Spring, but this has now changed in order to let Alexandra "polish her skills".

An insider is quoted in The Sun as saying: "[Her label were] planning a quick release - possibly as early as March in time for Mothers' Day, but they have reconsidered and will now go for the autumn - probably November."

"They want to wait to find the right songs and let her polish her skills, like they did with Leona. She can then launch it on a live X Factor show."

And despite Leon Jackson's disappointing sales of debut album 'Right Now', Alexandra's people are more confident that she has enough talent, that a delay in releasing the album will not affect it.

"Leon Jackson's album failed to shift as many copies as they hoped when they waited ten months after his X Factor win before releasing it," the source continued.

"They didn't want to risk the same thing happening but think Alex's talent and appeal is closer to Leona's levels, so they can afford to wait to get it right."

It's not up to me lol. Matt08 made it first so I'm guessing, no. Speak to him about it.

[Lewis.]

i will speak to him.. I'm sure he wont mind if i beg.. Haha.

Album in Autumn then! I cannot wiat that long, i am scared it will be a flop like Leons

[Fom]

If they don't rush it and market her right it will be good. We need her to be a pop star not a ballad singer like Leona.

[MarkWaldorf]

No one cares about Leon, thats why it flopped. Even his winners single sold dismally! Alexandra is the fastest selling female artist ever in the UK...over a million copies of Hallelujah sold in under a month. I have a feeling she'll be fine.

I think that if they are to leave it that long, they need to spend a lot of money on Advertising, like they did with Leona. I would like her to become like Beyonce, with Fast fun songs and slow ballads, because, she has the voice to do both

I hope so! She really deserves it! I think Generally, the x factor is getting bigger each year, so to win it, you know you are going to be huge. But Leon just didn't have that sparkle, like all of the previous X factor winners, Excluding Steve and Shayne.. Leaving Leona? So yes, I think if you are a Femal winner, you have a huge chance of success because you can sing in all kinds of tones and generally, whip us guys backsides with big the big voices we have seen

[Fom]

Which is great, because I am going to win X factor this year so I am guaranteed success!

Go Fom

I Tend to always support the females with the big voices, they are generally more deserving

Which is why i liked Ruth and Laura aswell

Rihanna is keeping boyfriend Chris Brown on a tight leash - she has banned him from having any contact with British pop star Alexandra Burke, according to reports.

Burke - who won the British equivalent of American Idol, X Factor, in December last year - has made no secret of her crush on Brown.

So, in a bid to keep any love rivals at bay, Umbrella hitmaker Rihanna reportedly banned Alexandra from an after-party following 19-year-old Chris' gig at London's O2 Arena earlier this month.

A source tells Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper, "Alex was mortified. She had no idea she had been banned from meeting her idol.

"She's a massive fan of Chris Brown – she said numerous times on The X Factor how much she fancies him and wants to meet him.

"Since she and Chris are both with Sony, she asked label bosses if they could arrange for her to meet him at the after-party.

"They said that was fine, they would sort it out.

"Poor Alex was so excited about hooking up with Chris that she was even thinking of entering a radio competition to meet him."

Hit 40 uk have her at number 8

what does bbc / hit 40 judge it on?

[Fom]

See my plan is... I go in, be talented but then be edgy, say I wanna be the male equivalent of Kelly Clarkson (Who will be top of the charts when auditions are on). They love it... and no one wants another female to win, so I have great odds!




Whoops getting ahead of myself.
