The only plus I can think of is that if the album does sell badly upon release, then she'll have things like a summer single, X Factor performance, Xmas sales etc to give it a boost. The thing is though, if it's not selling well after two singles and a few weeks of it being released, then it really won't at all. I'm seriously praying that she's going to be supporting Beyonce on tour in the U.S at the end of the year. That could be the reason why Alex hasn't released the UK tour dates yet as there may be discussions involving dates for her to tour the U.S with Beyonce. I mean, realistically album two could be done with by the end of this year, which I would be happy with if it meant she was off to the U.S. I don't know though to be honest, we don't even know what U.S label she's with and there's no indication of her going over there, just the usual "hopefully".”
Radio wise we have 2 weeks. It can't be on BBC lists yet, and it has entered the top 1000 a week after the premiere which is great, and the video has been seen. A lot can change, all she needs is a R1 A list, and lots of TV promo plus a radio tour, and then straight off to Europe to promote LIG and put her album out there in Late July. I think she has plans, but there is something stopping her in the summer, and that thing we don't know yet. I hope album 2 is done by Summer next year here. She has enough material. All she needs is radio support, and a big album launch (first week sales around 60-70k) which stay around 40-50k in the 2 weeks after, to stay afloat. It's the radio issue. Boy..she really needs capital *bites nails and freaks out*
