I'll be honest, I'm surprised how well this is doing in the charts!! As a fourth single off the album, I thought it woulda just scraped Top 20. It's already matched Broken Heels' peak and it has had nowhere near the same promotion as that!

It's a good song, though. Surprised "The Silence" hasn't been released yet though, obviously trying to market her away from ballads to avoid Leona comparisons.

She's doing VERY well!!! Hallelujah, Bad Boys, Broken Heels and now All Night Long!! All four have perormed really well. This has definietly been the strongest debut album from an X Factor winner.

I am pleased this is doing well as I love this track and also The Silence. I don't think you can claim this is the strongest debut album from an XF winner though, what about Spirit, that had a Moment Like this, Bleeding Love, Better In Time, Forgive Me and Run which were all top 5's.

Forgive Me and Run were both off the US edition. Also, all of Alexandra's songs so far have been slow burners in terms of the chart - Broken Heels may only have peaked at 8 but it was around for a long time.

But 'Forgive Me' and 'Run' weren't on the original version of the album.

Probably because it's got more than support elsewhere, on radio and tv. Therefore It's only fair imo that Radio 1 give other artists a chance who haven't had the same luxuries as Alexandra. All Night Long is already in the top 10 anyway so I don't see the problem.

there isnt a problem at all!
radio1 do play alot of artists who get played to death everywhere else aswell u know! diana vickers is still on there A-list for heavens sake and they constantly play lady gaga, which led me to wonder why they werent playing alex burke, or xtina for that matter. i dont even listen to radio1 it doesnt affect my life, only the artists.

I agree entirely of what you said

My guess is we will see a fifth single by August or October with a re issue of her album. Maybe October because X factor final begin.

I think Spirit was the most succesful in terms of sales and Overcome is the most succesful in terms of singles. The first release of Spirit had 2 single releases (Forgive me and Run are from the delux). Alex has had 3 singles released from the first release of overcome so far.

All of her singles seem to grow on me. I've never liked any of them from the first listen but eventually they end up on my ipod and this song is no exception. It's been climbing quite steadily in the charts too so will probably do quite well. I like the fact she's avoiding the ballad route and I'm sure her appearance on Jonathan Ross will help shift copies.

Moment Like This was the winners song so was bound to do well (as was Hallelujah).

Bad Boys and Bleeding Love are incomparable but BB has still done incredibly well in the UK.

Broken Heels has sold a bit more than Better in Time.

All Night Long is doing better than Forgive Me did (which plummeted out of the charts after the debut).

Run was on a re-release and had an X-Factor performance plus Alex hasn't even had a 5th single yet.

I really didn't know what the poster was basing his claim on that Alex has had the strongest debut album from all XF winners, may be it would have been better to say stronger singles, but as the poster said stronger album, I guess this is open to interpretation. I don't think anyone can deny that Spirit was a much stronger album to date.
As I have said before I am a fan of both, so I am not into comparisons, but I just felt that the statement made was incorrect.

I love how you're comparing Alex and Leona with trying to down-play Leona's success.

Let's look at it objectively, shall we?

AMLT VS Hallelujah = Hallelujah easily wins (however the XF audience increased rapidly between S3 and S5 plus 2008 sales were far higher than 2006 ones).

Bleeding Love VS Bad Boys = Bleeding Love easily wins (however Leona did have more hype)

Better In Time VS Broken Heels = Broken Heels wins (but again sales were lower in 2008 than they are now and Spirit had already sold a lot. But BIT should have sold better considering the charity bill. It might sell better in time. Bad joke, I know )

Forgive Me VS All Night Long = hard to tell yet but ANL will probably win. (but charts are far more competitive in November than they are in May and sales are again higher now).
