Just for some context, Rhydian sold 90,000 copies of his debut album in his first week - and he was shocking!
Look at artists releasing music this year - sales of albums have decreased MASSIVELY since Rhydian was around, so it's pointless comparing sales of his album to any album released today.
I don't understand why people are so keen to rip any achievement to shreds. A top 10 album is a top 10 album. It only takes one look to see that sales have decreased so rapidly in recent years, but they're all in proportion. Also if you know your album charts, you'll know that in recent weeks Bo would've been a fair few places higher up in the charts with the sales she had if her album had been released a few weeks earlier :rolleyes: sales were particularly competitive in comparison to recent weeks on the week her album came out
There's no accounting for taste! Does Simon Cowell hypnotise people?? Cos I don't understand the appeal of a lot of his acts,yet many shitloads!
Perhaps it's just you then.
Bo sales aren't great and it slid down the chart rapidly. However, as has been said, sales aren't great at the moment and the fact she got to no. 10 for one week doesn't matter. A top ten hit album will always be on her resumé.
The spin on trying to make an album that only managed all of two weeks in the Top 40 sound successful is hilarious!
Still at least it's positive for Leanne. All she has to do now is sell more than a measly 13,000 during her whole time in the charts, and she'll still manage to be the successful Voice contestant.
How do you find out album sales, if you don't mind me asking?
Music Week publishes sales figures but I think this publication is only available to subscribers. The Buzzjack forums usually have a thread each week on single and album sales which is based on MW figures:

Know ones spinning anything maybe you just need to accept the fact that an act from the Voice has achieved a top ten album and that is nothing to be sniffed at

I saw Bo perform to an audience of less than 30 people in Brighton over the weekend as part of The Great Escape. She was clearly upset with the turnout and only played for 20 minutes of her allotted 30 minutes, and she just walked off without a word. That was easily the lowest crowd of the weekend I saw (saw about 30 acts), her performance was pretty ropey as well, but I think the lack of crowd got to her - probably wasn't where she expected her career to be at this point. A lot of the festival goers would not touch a reality star when there are hundreds of real acts to choose instead (I only went because my young sister wanted to see her). It's ironic that she probably would have played to a much bigger crowd if she hadn't gone on The Voice - which is poison to a career if you want any credibility.

In fairness we only have your word on this. Surely if it was that bad it would have been in at least one paper am guessing The Sun at least plus others would have said.

There were people all over twitter who said she stuck around afterwards to chat and have photos with fans - so she clearly didn't "walk off without a word"
I don't know much about the great escape and what kind of festival it is/what audience it attracts, but I know she's playing T in the Park and has her own tour in the summer, so I'm sure these will be much more of a highlight for her

The Great Escape is a very small event and has only been going since 2006 and artists perform at all sorts of small venues across Brighton, Bo was on the smallest stage (at a venue which holds about 50 people) she used this for T In The Park and UK Tour prep like a lot of people use small 'festivals' to warm up for tours, I know a guy that operates one of the venues as we went to the same Uni.
As much was you lot won't accept it, she's successful in the realistic music world, not shunned out for 15 minutes of fame and hoping for the best.
She's being interviewed all over the place at the moment, the young lad from BGT (Conor something..) thanked her for her support, and her Live in London gig has completely sold out (the likes of Adele/Duffy/Marina and the Diamonds have all played there)

The Great Escape was at a small indie venue, nothing major. And there were plenty of acts there that got the same crowd.

Bo played at the Komedia which is actually one of the larger venues used for the festival - certainly with a capacity of higher than 50 (more like 500). Venues like The Blind Tiger, Sticky Mikes Frog Bar, Digital, Above Audio, The Hope etc are much smaller. Most of these venues fill up quickly and end up operating a one in - one out process. I missed out on seeing acts like 'To Kill A King', 'Night Engine' and 'Deep Vally' because they were filled to capacity and had massive queues outside.

Just to see how much other stuff you were making up I went to her website and her date at Bush Hall London isn't soldout - infact no date on her tour in June/July was soldout.

Accept it mate, she's done well, so like you said please stop posting such bile.
Nothing on that site says soldout as you stated, you can still buy tickets...which is the opposite of soldout! Same on her site, not one gig soldout yet. See that big 'buy tickets' button?
Komedia has a bigger capacity than 50 - lol. I was there twice last week.

The Great Escape is not a venue....
Erm...I know that...I said The Great Escape was at a small indie venue.
But it wasn't at a small indie venue. It was all over Brighton at over 30 venues, including the Dome itself (quite a large venue).
Just to see how much other stuff you were making up I went to her website and her date at Bush Hall London isn't soldout - infact no date on her tour in June/July was soldout.
Please stop writing such rubbish.
Here is a link to the what's on Bush Hall website...

Likewise with you, dingus -
http://www.seetickets.com/event/bo-bruce/bush-hall/699403 - pre-sales have sold out, there is not many left at all and will sell out by the time the gig happens, go to her website too.
