but she IS the competition....



Adele is the competition. Coming out in November. Island/DefJam were wise to bring out Leona early, so she can get some traction before that tsunami.

We do. It feels far too quiet considering there is an album out in less than two weeks.

UK promo should start September 6th, so this Sunday onwards. "Power" will be given as an instagrat friday as well and we should get the "I Am" video Friday I hope. So I think things will pick up quite a bit Friday onwards.

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.
totally agree!!!! She is THE VOICE!!! The public just needs reminding!

I am happy with that.

She literally just went top 30 though, she'll likely climb a few spots this week too so hopefully now that should encourage more stations to add her.

The video has to be ready by now, I think it's probably been ready for a while, I have a feeling that if they have held it back this long, then they are holding it back until album release day.

I think maybe they will want it to premier that day so that it can immediately drive album sales, especially if they have Vevo promo and the video being reported about elsewhere. People can instantly buy the album once they see it, rather than it being unavailable still.

Last week's adds on HAC were coming after a slow week. Thankfully the song has picked up hugely the last week and 5 adds is good - they are all notable stations so should help increase her audience. Plus she's being played on about 70 stations and of those around 50 have added her - so plenty more room in the coming weeks for stations to add her.

Not to mention a lot of station have her in low rotation. Once the stations that are currently spinning her put her into medium/high rotation we'll likely see large updates.

I assume the stations will really start upping their play of the song around album release. I'm hoping that Leona will be able to go top 25 or higher on HAC by the time the album is released. Would love it if the song managed to get top 20 before album release, but it'll have to gain double the amount it has been over the next 10 days to do that.

I really hope for the next single, either Def Jam or Island will dish out a decent budget so she can work with a really good/reputable director and creative something cinematic and beautiful. Not just so it will get more views, but great videos really add to the song.
