I do agree Leah is far more marketable and I'm fascinated to see what she comes out with. Her version of Loving You on the Voice made my skin tingle...sublime.

Still, I want original music from Andrea. She could appeal to people who like artists such as Gabrielle Aplin. I hope at some point we get a real album from her.

The Message and Autumn are both original tracks. I suggest listening to both, The Message is BRILLIANT and very catchy.

Yes, I agree! I really hope they film a video and release it as a single. I can see BBC Radio 2 playlisting it. One of the highlights of the album for me!

Thanks for the info, I'll have a listen.

I still want a full length "real" album from Andrea in the near future. Two original songs thrown in with a bunch of covers isn't good enough for a talent show winner.

I still have yet to buy my copy but hopefully I'll be able to purchase it tomorrow, I'm glad her album is doing pretty well when the odds were against her.

#10 in today's midweeks and her appearance on BBC Breakfast this morning has really helped push the sales for the album up! Happy to see it top 10 on iTunes. It's actually #5 once you take out pre-orders/duplicate albums!

Nice. I like that she is doing well, she seems like a lovely girl with a really cute voice. I have yet to hear anything from her since the voice, so don't know how good the album is. May pick it up at the weekend.

#5 on iTunes now (#4 if you discount duplicates)
and #4 on Amazon.

I expect she'll climb from #10 in the midweeks and if she does she'll have released the most successful Voice album to date.

I love Andrea but the production on this album is terrible. The message, which she wrote, is by far the best track and should have been the lead single. So much could have been executed better, original material for a start as she's a brilliant writer.

Really hoping she climbs from #10. She's now #3 on Amazon so she's moving up on there, I'm purchasing my copy tomorrow off Amazon. Come on Andrea!

Her voice is so bloody dull. And she has murdered "Latch".

Andrea was on BBC Radio 2 earlier. Hopefully they will show her some support soon. ^^

Really happy with how well the album's doing. It's been climbing throughout the week so far. Her team have done well with organising the promotion for the album. Hopefully she'll have some more promotion coming up in the coming weeks as well!

I know her sister and was speaking to her, I think the main UK publicity is over. But her tv ad campaign will continue to air until Friday or Saturday. She's doing some Northern Irish promotion next week as far as I know.. Loose Women were approached but didn't want to invite her on as she was already doing This Morning.

On a side note, Andrea will feature on Children In Need. She's been recording videos with a few Northern Irish school choirs for the show next month!

(By the way I don't think the QVC sales have been added yet, so those should help her come Sunday. She sold upwards of 100 copies last week while on there promoting)

Well I just bought my mp3 download, I was going to buy the CD, but postage etc cost too much for me.

I went straight to "The Message" and omg, It's amazing... It should of been the lead single.

The album is up to #7 in the midweek update today! It should hopefully stay top 10 by Sunday. It's currently #11 on iTunes, but technically #6 once you take out compilation albums/preorders/duplicate albums.

A pure voice, a great pitch that echoes emotion. Surely that should be what the 'voice' is about. The album is better than expected - thankfully. cover songs have been crafted to suit her style. It kind of reminds me of Alex Park's debut album whereby there were covers and some original songs crafted to her an artist like a mix tape. My favourites are: take on me (surely a christmas release?), dancing in the dark, message and autumn, breakfast at tiffany's. Of course the tracks 'my immortal, angel and ho hey' are good additions as they were her key tracks on the show.

The digital spy review for her album was damning with only 2 stars....take it they were Leah fans then.

Haha yeah, I found it quite difficult to read. It seems like before even listening to the album they had their mind made up.

No need for two stars.

Andrea should have included more original songs. The Message is excellent.

The Message is such a great song, I can't believe they didn't release it as the lead single.

Really hope her album makes the top 10.

Surprised myself by how much I enjoyed this album. Andrea winning is probably the one and only time I have ever even remotely agreed with the result of one of these programmes.

oddly she has covered some of my favourite songs: angel, secret smile, breakfast at tiffany's and falling slowly.... i couldn't listen to the latter ...I just have and wow she has done it real justice!!! Please release this track!!

So I was wondering what you guys might estimate her first week sales at... There's been a few articles about her only selling 2,000 in the first few days, so what's your guess?

I hope it's higher, but I'm going to guess 6,000.

Andrea's album has entered at #7!
