What a yawn? (not your post, but people buying her first album) I am sure everyone has a copy of spirit

Everyone must buy Echo. Sales should rise as I got you should be sent to radio's soon followed by a video

Also, heart fm keep playing Stop crying your heart out which will help.

Yeah it's strange, wonder what's making people still buy 'Spirit' instead of 'Echo'. I guess it's good though that she's selling copies of her first album but her second album, at the moment, is more important I think.

Spirit is discounted in a lot of places due to how long it's been out (it's about half the price of Echo in most retailers.)

Really not a shock at all that it's higher in the charts, just another opportunity for rickyjune to try imply Echo is flopping. Around 900,000 copies sold to date but totally flopping.

There are many cases of double standards when it comes to Leona. The first came when Forgive Me "flopped" and "only made #5" as if that was a bad chart position. Lots of unrealistic expectations for her based on her first era which she was never going to match and most artists don't.

I don't think Forgive me flopped, but considering it was Leona, was released in a really good year for her (after she'd had a #1 single and album in U.S.) and the fact that it was a lead single, it wasn't great. I think it proves that even someone of Leona's talent can't sell a not so great song in high quantities (although I liked Forgive Me).

And her album isn't flopping either. It's not selling as much as Spirit, but I think that was to be expected. Hopefuly sales pick up a bit, because it really is a very high quality album. I think Can't Breathe could be a monster hit for her.

Forgive Me wasn't a lead single. It was Spirit's 3rd single.

If I remember correctly, it wasn't included on Spirit and was only included on the Deluxe Edition.

a album CANNOT be a flop after one single release and only after 7 weeks

I was just noting that her first album is still selling while her second album is catch it up so to speak

The album hasn't flopped. In the US, yes. It's double platinum over here. It's sold more than Aly burke's and yet Happy pulled in no where near the sales as Bad boys did.
