    We could get an announcement after the Olympics then...or possibly before...obviously we don't know how much more of her contract she has left but she will need to say something about the situation pretty soon....

    I wonder if she even has her new team yet...

    It was first reported she had left syco and joined RCA early June 2011 so.. Maybe she decided not to renew the contract after the year and is just doing the last few gigs they had lined up. Hopefully she has her new label and things are going to be on the up soon!

    Agreed...I think she's just tying up the last few loose ends with RCA before she can move on. I just hope we find out what happens next soon...:D

    I haven't really been properly reading this thread lately, I skim read it everyday but I don't take in everything that has been said as majority of it is just speculation. So can someone quickly post why we think she has left RCA? Has there been any concrete evidence of this? I know she left Modest and that is supported by them removing her from their website etc, but she is still on RCA's website.

    They haven't mentioned her at all, like she doesn't exist. It might have just been a distribution deal for all we know. If they really liked her they'd have mentioned her and they didn't even tweet about the album.

    This is true. Alex has a big casual fanbase though and pop radio is needed for that. They're paying her dust so......:cry:

    I think a hybrid album would be amazing, I've been thinking about this ever since HOH flopped. Carrie Underwood has alot of her past US hits on her new UK album and it seems to be working for her!

    I'm finding some comfort in the fact that Cover Drive's album has sold about 11,000 too and they are heavily supported by Capital and had a #1 single with Twilight.:p

    It's only Smooth radio and Real radio. She probably isn't even played on those anyway. Smooth is like.. old music and I have never heard of Real Radio.
