Good new entries from Tiao Cruz and Katy B.

Anyone know where the Sats album is? Hopefully not a big drop like Wordshaker!

Thoughts?

Taio Cruz has a lead of almost 3-1 over Eminem who is at #2

Katy B is at #5, and rightly so. Such a tune

Pleased to see Leona back in the top 40 resulting from the 5min play of her song on X Factor this weekend; just goes to show how affecting her voice really is-when that tiny amount of promotion can propel her into the top 40 whereas other artists who constantly promote often fail to chart.

Affecting? Really? Perhaps if she had a shred of personality. It's nothing to do with Leona, it's because Simon Cowell will give her every last bit of promo she can get because she's his Golden Girl, hence playing one of her songs on X Factor at the weekend when he knows more than 10 million people will be watching. Doesn't hurt that it's a cover of a well-known song as well. He wouldn't dare play the original, would he? His desperation for people to buy her records has got silly.

I hate to be a bitch, but funny how Leona only seems to start making chart impressions when X Factor starts.

No doubt she'll perform later in the series to get the inevitable #1. (Inevitable in the fact that if released any other time of the year she would struggle to make top 10 )

:yawn: There were plenty of other background songs played on the show not to mention the ones the acts sung-none have found themselves in the top 40. I'm sure people have their own minds and if they want to buy the original can do so pretty easily-but the truth is they want to buy Leona's version and I'm sorry that upsets you so much.

As I already said plenty of other songs/acts get promotion and not all make the same impact on the charts.

Of course she will - it's never been in any doubt. The Puppetmaster is so afraid of her sales drying up that he'll do anything to sponge a few more sales whichever way he can.

Leona has been back to perform on X Factor every year since she won the show. Her albums will only ever be released near Christmas while X Factor is on air, and they will be re-released the same time the following year. And people call me 'cynical'

But X Factor lovers will know it's Leona won't they? Most of them don't care for other musicians so when they hear something by Leona they'll get all excited and go and buy it because Cowell constantly tells everyone how 'amazing' she apparently is. He knows they are sheep.

Lol-oh dear... maybe if you'd heard her perform live you would think differently, but then again it seems as though just as you think supposedly anyone who likes the X Factor instantly likes Leona, it seems as though you are fundamentally biased against her...

What a silly rant, there were loads of different songs used in the x factor. Why hasn't Mercy re-entered the top 40 or any of the others used.

Perhaps people download her music because they like it ?

Why? I'm speaking the truth aren't I? She's been back on X Factor every year since she won it, and her albums are only ever released during that time. You telling me that's pure coincidence? I'm sure you'll say 'other artists perform on X Factor too' but Leona seems to have a guarantee to use the show every year. Simon Cowell would never dare release her albums any other time, because he's scared of his Golden Girl's sales drying up. If she show didn't exist, most people would of forgotten about her by now.

I have heard her sing live, and yes she has a great voice, but since when has that been all that music is about? This is what Cowell is fooling people into thinking. I know it's said a lot, but Leona has so little personality which does make it hard to get any feeling or emotion from her songs.

Because Mercy has sold well over 600k already in the UK, and all the other tracks used were single releases. I'm sure if they had played a JLS album track that not everyone is familiar with it would be sitting somewhere within the top 10 just now.

Because it's subjective. Personally I would say Beverley Knight is the most amazing vocalist in the UK but it doesn't make me right and everyone else wrong. There are far too many fights on this forum regarding who is the 'best' singer.


Anyway, glad to see Hurts in the top 20. Hopefully they don't drop down too much the rest of the week.

Of course it's the biggest platform - her career couldn't survive without it. She's lasting purely off the show. The minute the show finishes she will disappear.

agreed love both songs!

great news about the sats too! finally they are selling an album!

and ill say it again, you leona haters obviously have underlying anger problems in which the only way to make yourself feel better is by venting your frustration on a pop artist who's never done anything to offend you. If you don;t like her music, don't listen to it. And if the X factor annoys you, don't watch it. But we don't wanna log on to these forums and hear you constantly moaning! bloody hell! its pop music. cheer up! and chill out! lol

That's a very stupid thing to say, the kind of thing an obsessed fan who can't accept people not liking an artist would say. I don't have any 'underlying anger problems', in fact usually the people that accuse others of that are the ones that have it themselves.

Anyway, I've made my point clear many times on here about what my issue is with X Factor and how it works
