Great post. I liked Rebecca myself but I have several friends who had the same attitude as yours until they listened to 'Heaven.' People who have never bought or even considered buying a release from an XF act. Saying exactly the same thing: "It's real music."

Hopefully getting this for christmas, if not ill be buying it after. Love her single

It's one of those albums that people will keep going back to in years to come (like Corinne Bailey-Rae for example).

I'll be waiting in anticipation for the album position tonight (hopefully top 3).

Where did the album chart?

From the Official Charts site:


Excellent sales... I'm happy for her!

128k, really excellent sales for Rebecca. She totally deserves it for telling Syco/Sony where to shove their insipid covers.

Massive sales. More than I ever imagined!

How do those sales compare to the other 3?

VERY Roughly- Cher Lloyd got 57,000, Matt Cardle I think 80,000, Mary Byrne 33,000. Somebody please correct me if i'm wrong.

LOL. Ironic that surely the most amount of money went into making Lloyd's album and yet it sold 70k less than Rebecca's album.

This is exactly what I said. I love her voice and the album, but on X Factor she didn't click with me at all. She's not a covers act by any stretch of the imagination, and that's essentially what X Factor is.

I bought the album today, love it! Fairytale, Shoulder to Shoulder, Run Free and Too Good to Lose are great!

I was always captured by Rebecca's voice, I thought she was far too good to be on the X Factor, but then I can understand why she did it.

I received her debut album for Christmas and I have to say it is really good.

Nothing's Real But Love will be The 1st single to be released in the US on January the 10th.

That's great! It may take a good few weeks to get up the charts but I wish her well

Great single cover.

just ordered this on amazon

Recently got her album, must say it's much better than I anticipated. I thought I wouldn't like it as much as I do.. it's really classy but current and enjoyable. I love it!

I 'bought'* this for my wife but probably play it as much as she does. It really is a very surprising album. Not at all X Factory if you get my drift.


* I actually downloaded it for free but fear not I am not a pirate - had to drink 10 bottles of Becks to get the vouchers to use on napster. Oh the hardship, lol.

She's just signed a huge deal in the US with Columbia Records.

From what I have just read, she signed the biggest deal in the US since Leona Lewis from the UK talent shows and topping Subo.

had the album for christmas but haven't had time to listen to it yet. i hope to soon i am sure i will like it.

Are there going to be any more singles realsed from the album? Would love Fairytale to be a single.
