I've always liked Leona, but never been a manic fan. However, I sat down a couple of weeks ago with a friend and watched her perform "Run" on the X Factor.
Nothing unusual here you might say.
Well then my bitch of a friend decides to ask for Leona's re-worked album for Xmas.
Could I get the bloody thing anyway? NOPE.
Over the last 2 weeks I'd been into Tesco, HMV, Sainsbury, Woolies, Asda Living, Play.com and probably more. All out of stock.
Eventually Sainsburys got a couple delivered, and I was luckily enough to grab one. But even then, the lady in the queue behind me at the checkout saw it and ran back for a copy.
Hence the thread title. I've only just actually realised how much of a star Leona is. And to hear that the album in question sold 170k this week....when its god knows how old?! Fantastic!!

Yup, she's got all these US artists wanting to work with her because she's so great [Whitney Houston, Justin Timberlake - They're currently working together for a duet.. There's also P.Diddy, Katy Perry and Jordin Sparks want to work woth her and more!!]
Buuuut yeah, she is in high demand
I didnt know the sales this week, but thats bloomin fantastic for an album thats been out 49 weeks!:D:D
Well she sold me:o
Top 5 of 2008.
And should hit 1 million sales for the year.
do they add the sales of the deluxe edition to the sales of the original edition??
maybe i'm making myself look really stupid here, but just curious

Yes, sales of the deluxe are added to sales of the original edition.
It used to be a rule that the deluxe had to be 80% the same as the original, but they scrapped it recently.
is spirit any good btw? never really liked any of leona's stuff before,.......
Some songs from the album you might not of heard.

I'm in love with this song:)
So I guess it's currently fifth behind Rockferry, The Circus, Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends and Only By The Night.
No shame coming fifth to those artists with a year old album
But she's still done fantastically
Spirit has some good songs on it, but it's incredibly over-rated:o
