    OT (slightly) but I finally managed to figure out the chords to 'Essence Of Me', time to start working on that cover version now :)

    I keep finding myself singing "I Got You". Definitely think it should be the next single now.

    And what?! Leona slaying Europe. :cool:

    Edit: Also, been playing essence of me to my plants and they seem to be loving it. Queen of the animal and now the plant world. Leona's voice helping plants grow. :cool: I should do my dissertation on the effect of Leona's music on lant growth and see which songs make plants grow the best. :cool: I think "I'm You" wouldn't cause a seed to even germinate let alone grow into a plant though. :blush::blush::p

    Number 106 in the uk ... :(

    What number in USA I can't find it ?

    Glad she's doing well in Europe... Maybe eurovision next year for leona ?

    I really pray that they get the album so much promotion to make number 1 ... If it flops like the single I actually think it will be over for her :( ... What has happened to the world ...makes me so angry and upset.

    Out of top1000 in US, around 1250s. That just goes on to tell how important it is to be visible on the front page of itunes. Only one small feature in hot songs got her to #119 (peak).

    I'm keeping the faith in Island. Something must be coming, excited to see what they do next, whether it be continue to build FUMF or move on to single 2.

    I'm just happy we're getting new and great music from Leona, but I have to admit, I'm worried what the future holds for her now, past this album.

    If the long game is to develop her in to a Florence, Emeli Sande type artist, it could be a long long time before it catches on with the public. Power Ballard X factor reputation will be very hard to move away from with the general public, and will take a lot of consistently good releases, perhaps with low sales. I'm sure Island know this and have planned for it.

    Yeah I just went back and checked his twitter, he said he would find out what happened, but never posted anything about it again and I just checked I still don't think its up on German Itunes.

    Nothing about German release of FUMF, it's not even on Amazon with a date, where it usually appears first. They might go for the end of July with it.

    Very true il try and stay positive too ... I think she needs more tv promotion ... What are island playing at..

    I'm still praying she has the James Bond single... That will get her great limelight...
    I really don't like the essence of me song at all... From what I heared on the clips I think I got you should be the next single too.. But let's see.maybe ALS is better when u can actually hear it properly.

    I just find it crazy how something like pretty girls by britney and iggy goes top 10 yet leona nowhere near.

    Somebody mentioned they couldn't find Leona on US Itunes. About an hour ago FUMF was in the 1200's

    Welcome Eien :) Hopefully it takes of soon in US

    Thanks! Hopefully it does since her old songs still get played a lot in stores.
    A positive signal I hope :kitty:

    With the right promo she could do pretty well here in the states. Christmas With Love peaked at number 6 on US iTunes after her Kelly and Michael performance, but dropped fast since all the other performances weren't as big.
    Have you read this article http://www.theguardian.com/music/musicblog/2015/jun/15/x-factor-leona-lewis-top-40-charts-failure
    Welcome Ellen! Nice to have you here with us! Sidenote - Ellen's my youngest sister's name as well :D

    It's actually Eien, but thanks. :blush: I've been waiting to get approved for 2 years.

    Can someone clarify for me, I know FUMF is available in the US to radio, but its not yet been sent for adds, but has the remixes been sent for adds? I don't get how US radio works. :D
    No, remixes haven't been sent out either. They're listed under Cool New Music, but there's no official add date for Dance Radio as far as I know. Dance radio isn't really a huge format here.
