it's the official Billboard chart, just nobody noticed it the other day
Okay fantastic.

I also love Simon and Leona's relationship. He'll always be fond of her.

Thunder just was played on BBCR2, after midnight again -.- it won't help being the album of the week if songs are going to be played everyday after midnight

I understood that ownership of the material reverts to the label if the artist leaves. The provisions of her contract, including royalties, were terminated when she left.
No, that isn't the case. Leona didn't 'leave'. The contract expired, she fulfilled the needs of the contract. She did everything she was supposed to do in that contract, there was no termination. If she had gone against the contract, then everything - including royalties - would be terminated and she wouldn't then go on a US Radio tour performing a song (Bleeding Love) that would only generate profit for her previous record label.

She still gets a cut of all sales from previous albums and singles.

It's fine, she'll get a lot of play don't worry. "I Am" got played twice Saturday during peak times. "I Am" will likely be played later and maybe another album track.

I'm not sure they'll play a song we haven't heard though. "Another Love Song", now "Thunder". I think they'll play "Essence of Me" and "Power" maybe. Perhaps play "Thunder"/"Essence of Me" a couple times.

"Footprints In The Sand" being used on today's Xtra factor!
Presumably the writers of the song get royalties when it is played? One of the accredited writers is of course Simon Cowell!!!

That's exactly the reason it's always used.

Yay new thread!

And Soe, maybe the label didn't like how Poet was handling its release? I really think they should be making a bigger effort with the features she does do.

Only four posts to go before you reach 20,000

I had asked for a new part to the thread just before we got to 10,000 - I guess the mods have been busy elsewhere!

Great to see you requesting new part. This has come at the right time too.

Can't believe we will be getting the album very soon. I haven't listened to Power, I want to keep some surprises for album release. I really want to listen to the album in its entirety, to see how it flows. I always buy physical copies, just love reading the booklet. Good news re touring next year.

I'm getting so confused. Is it #30 officially or on rolling airplay? US charts confuse me.

EDIT: Also WOO new part.

I wonder when we'll be getting the 'I Am' video. I'm starting to think it will just be saved for the album release week.

Has anything been played on Radio 2 today?
I know we had ALS on Sunday and Thunder yesterday, so what could be today? I hope they play YKMW, Ladders or I Got You today, but have a feeling it'll be Power or Essence Of Me.

No, I wanna keep YKMW and Thank You until we get the album, I want something as a surprise lol
Would love I Got You or Ladders to be played though, cannot wait to hear them in HQ!

Really think Leona just needs to sing Power at a very big show with great production and her vocals on point and it will get her back at the top.. like an Adele moment.. so many people forget how good Leona actually is compared to this artists who are at the top these days..

Holy s***! Taylor's new video for Wildest Dreams totally blow my mind!
Wish Leona could bring a track like that with a video like that in future albums!

Is it possible for those who have those charts, to keep up a daily posting of where Leona's album is on Amazon US and UK and on iTunes UK and US in preorders. I can't make head nor tails of these radio plays and all that, but it would be interesting to see the trend on album buying. After all, sales are what counts to Leona and Island/DefJam. People keep saying she's an album seller, so that's where it's at.
