The Lioness: Hidden Treasures album has supposedly sold 140,000 copies in one day according to this link

http://www.google.com/hostednews/ukp...1323174203386A

I can't see him lying and I thought that this album would have been a hit but I was not expecting numbers like those if it's true!


What do you think?

TBH i love her and there are some genuinely good songs on there but tbh its all a bit cut and dry i wished theyd release the demos from the third alum not recycled or old material.

well she's on 96,000 copies now which is really good! I'm glad it's doing well but I wish they had more original songs on the album, I absolutely love Like Smoke but wish there was more Amy singing on it and a little less rapping tbh

It's basically a covers albums. Where's the real stuff she was recording for a new album?

To be fair, six of the twelve tracks are originals, albeit all but one are either offcuts from Frank or demos.

Island released a statement a while back saying they'd never release the tracks from the third LP since Amy wasn't happy with them being heard in their current form (though somehow it wouldn't surprise me if they saw the light of day eventually). In the CD artwork for Lioness there's a photo of songtitles that Amy had written as ideas for the album (including Like Smoke).

This is doing much better than a lot of people on other music forums predicted. Most didn't think it would be No.1 this week. I did though.
