Not yet and we may not get them until tomorrow.
I'll post them when they're released though. |

I haven't actually heard any of her music but I'm not surprised if she's number one as her name has been EVERYWHERE for what feels like ages and she's been at a lot of the big music events. I wonder if she's actually worth checking out of if she's just another over-hyped fad...

She will be at the VMAs. MTV won't stop playing her commercial. It's so annoying. It's like they are forcing her on us when both of her singles flopped here. Jay-Z couldn't even pay the radios to play her songs.
Congrats on her number 1, I just wish she wasn't everywhere all the time. |

I have never in ages wanted a female to flop so bad
She is perhaps the most overrated popstar i have seen been hyped in years. I actually fail to see the appeal of this girl. Oh well. I respect some people like her and I will have to build a bridge and get over it. |

She has recently claimed that R.I.P wasn't written for Rihanna and that as soon as she heard it she knew it was hers. I wonder if she knows that Drake was singing that song way back in 09-10 under the name I'm Ready For Ya.

Over exposure very often leads to a short shelf-life.

ORA has none of those things, it really does sound like a load of demos rejected by all the big stars. Rita's voice is so generic and bland she sounds totally different on every song. The success of this is totally down to promotion and cash. Nothing to do with her talent or star quality because where she is filthy rich in the former, she is so very lacking in the latter. |

Still don't have Rita's sales but Emeli Sande at #2 sold 21k, so Rita's sales are also likely to be ... really rather low.
Still a #1 album is a #1 album and it's something to build on. And having two solo #1 singles, a #1 feature and a #1 album is a great start to a career for anyone. So do we think Ora will drop like a stone or stick around for a while? Will it even go Platinum in the long run? |

Rita Ora is talented and i've enjoyed her previous releases, How We Do being my favourite. I just hope she steers clear of collaborations with useless rappers like Pitbull, Flo Rida, i noticed she's already done a song with will.i.am so i guess it won't be too long before she's been dragged on one of their songs.
Well done to her though

Well done to her but she should have gotten no1 easily really considering how promoted she has been. Might check her material out, as i think RIP is quite good, but if its anything like Fall In Love then i won't be impressed

The woman just annoys me with her "I'm so original" & "I want to be so different" bullsh*t. Her first song was a Rihanna throw-away and her second song heavily sampled another song. With that said the album is biggest load of sh*t released this year. Shame as i was excited for it after the first two singles which where awesome. Radioactive is the only other song about decent for me on the album. She just fails to excite me on it. |

There's actually a massive gap between Emeli and Rita, much, much bigger than I ever imagined. I seem to be rather a bit useless when it comes to Rita predictions! 1 - Rita Ora - Ora - 44,509 2 - Emeli Sande - 20,644 |

44k is a bit poor personally. She has been hyped up all year. Had two number 3 number 1 hits. Her name alone has been shoved down our throats by the press. She clearly has failed expectations among music lovers.

Agreed. I'm one of the posters who predicted she wouldn't be a huge hit but even I expected in the region of 60-70k on opening week. I think she might be seen as a singles artist TBH. |

And you'd be right.

I wonder how she will do in the US since they have been hyping her like crazy. She might do better after her super exposure at the upcoming VMAs and the Made In America festival.
