    She's been in the press constantly for the last two weeks, hopefully that's generated towards sales for both LIG and HOH :(

    I think she has other material for the US release that isn't on the UK/European version.....HOH seems almost too European, and considering she worked with a bunch of American producers, I wouldn't be surprised if she had other material saved up for a US version of HOH...

    That snippet with Rico we heard on the Ustream sounded nothing like the style we've now heard for HOH....I think there are other things planned personally...:)

    MTE ;):D

    November 7th is far far too soon for any US album....If anything I would hope that it is a single release date for the US...she will have to tour/gig/run around radios first to gain momentum in the US like Cher Lloyd and 1D before she even considers an album release....

    Not necessarily. If she gets radio on side, it can be done. She's a mainstream act. It took the wanted about 3 months, standard time. If alex went in august (early) november would be ok. They can do a big launch, tv etc and it will work. She has the advantage of cross generational appeal and is superb live. It helps. Adele intially got RITD to#13 in the us by late february and it came out in late december. And that was only through AC/Hot AC radio, mainstream didn't take to it in feb 2011, that happened it march when it went for adds and didn't top the pop songs till late may.

    Alex is once again not playlisted on R1

    i bet they'll either jump on the bandwagon next week, once they see it's going top 5
    or they'll not support it at all

    I thought she tweeted that these songs were old and not on the album.....?

    Back to AB though...I think she has a bloody hard choice for the next single....I'm hoping it's either Fire/Tonight/Daylight Robbery personally...

    I'm hoping it's Between the sheets personally, but I think it'll most likely be Tonight or Fire. :)

    As much as I love BTS, I just think it sounds like an album track only to me....much like NBTG....I think Tonight or Fire too....though I think the Michael Woods connection is something she could exploit with Daylight Robbery....especially given the radio situation...

    Thanks :)

    What are you fans hoping for chart wise? I know every fan for their artist(s) will always say #1 as I would for LM. But if not #1 I take it you would like it to chart around the same as Elephant which was #3?

    Top 3 would be an amazing achievement considering all the politics. It would easily reach number 1 if it was supported though. :( Personally I'd be really happy with top 5 :)

    To be honest I don't even think anyone would want to snatch that mess of a weave....more like point and laugh that anyone would be stupid enough to put that on their head.....

    But anyway....top 5 for LIG would be amazing and show that Alex can get 2 top 5s in a row without radio support but tbh I think it will chart in the top 10...
