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..
This. Exactly this ! People on here keep saying "oh everyone knows Leona can sing so a ballad won't do her any good", but I really don't think so. I think a lot of people have forgotten how talented Leona really is and one amazing vocal performance will remind them not just of her talent but her status all those years ago. Yes, we want people to see Leona doing something different but we also want them to be reminded of what she can do vocally.

Good update on HAC today - adds will come in later so hope Leona will get a few more. "Thunder" is now being played on 70 stations now (up 7 from yesterday). Things looking really good for Leona on HAC, should rise to #26 in a few days time.

People ahead of Leona:

NeedToBreathe 95 (+113)
Amiercan Authors 241 (+107)
Kelly Clarkson 252 (+152)
Sam Hunt 662 (+136)

Andy Grammar should go recurrent once it falls out of the top 10 too (which will be in about another week or so).

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.
To start: ATM, Leona's at #1028 for deluxe album US Itunes
at #814 for deluxe album UK iTunes
Be interesting to track the rise in September as the major promo peaks toward release day.

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!
I think Leona needs a video with a storyline . in that sense, Happy is probably the best video of hers.

I think you might be right. I know some people call her boring. But she's remembered for her big vocals so it might just work to sing Power live.

Agreed. ALS is a simple, catchy track but far and away the least impressive song I've heard on the album.

I really think Def Jam should send a single to Top 40 radio ASAP. It's going to take a long time to climb, not sure what they're waiting for. If the song doesn't have radio backing, promo on shows like Ellen won't have much effect.

Maybe they're not going to send it?

Thunder might not be making the impact they expected so they'll send something else once the albums out?

Although that does seem very unlikely.

Or maybe they have a deal in place so they won't need to worry about building AirPlay?

Maybe they're trying to sell the album when Thunder is at its highest point on top40 radio (weeks after album release) while in the meantime they're releasing 2nd single

I doubt they had any high expectations as it's her first real single in US since 2009. It's doing fine on HAC and just entered the Top 30 there.
It really is time to send something to Top 40

I think they're holding off on Top 40 so that the album continues to sell after it's released. They'll probably send Thunder for adds by end of September, and as Thunder continues to rise the album could potentially rise as well as Thunder becomes popular.

The label will clearly have a plan for Top 40 on radio, but man I wish we knew what it was, even I am becoming impatient about them sending it.

Surely they will send it to top 40 before she starts her TV promo again?

FUMF still slowly rising in Germany, climbed into the top 300 yesterday and is currently at #238 just now. Hopefully it will go top 200 soon.

I hope radio is on board with her out there and when she goes over to promote, the song actually connects and does well.

That's great!
Any big shows in Germany that she could potentially be on in next few weeks?

They really need to send it out now though if they want to get it to peak in time for November/December. Especially as competition is going to be huge soon when October/November gets here.

So is thunder doing good so far on that hac thing then ? I don't understand the USA ways -I just wonder why she has so little views on the video?
