Excellent sales, but I don't understand how Alexandra didn't do the same with Let It Go. Let It Go is the better song and Alexandra the better singer. Strange....

Well, she was very well promoted, and she does have a loyal fan base established, but I didn't expect those sales. In comparison to "Fight For This Love" & "Promise This", which I thought were better songs, I expected "ordinary" sales at being #1, being around 60,000 80,000. Those are impressive sales, although I'm not her biggest fan.

Alexandra's song didn't do well if it wasn't played on the radio really. Cheryl sold more than I expected! I don't like Call My Name very much, but I love her next single. |

I've just watched the jubilee 'performance' for the first time - Good. God.
It's time to end the charts |

Or maybe it's because it's Cheryl. The teenyboppers love Cheryl.

Yes, without question Alex is a better singer - but Let It Go is not the better song.
With radio support, LIG would have got to the top 5 / if not #1 but I do agree that CMN is better. but ye, politics stopped Alexandra's success - Cheryl has the politics on her side. |

I actually think CMN is a better song but CMN isn't that better tbh...

152,000? Is that all? Thought she would easily beat the 292K she did for FFTL.
She's bigger now than when she released her debut single.![]() Also why is 'Let It Go' being brought up here? 'Call My Name' is the better song, but it would be interesting to see how it had sold if wasn't spun to death by Capital etc. |

It's never been great and the vocals aren't applicable to cheryl. It's not a factor with her personality apparantly *shrugs*

Well promo and circumstances were very different. She was everywhere, and also used XF which was big. LIG is being brought up as they both have a connection to one another. 292K is massive. Hardly anyone sells that at all.
![]() Unless you mean Cheryl being Alexandra's mentor who taught her everything she knows.

I fail to see a connection between 'CMN' and 'LIG' .

Cheryl deserves the success. She may not be the best vocalist but she has the image and the personality that makes a great pop star.
Alexandra had bad luck with Let it Go as She wasn't given the A Playlist on Radio 1 and wasn't played on Capital FM which are huge radio stations that has a huge amount of young listeners. At least Elephant got #3. I think she should release a third single and then release her fourth by the time X Factor live shows have started. |
