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.

I was joking though.

Eurgh I hate adele

We need some movement this week!

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.

Leona has a song with Toby Gad called "Even Stars"

Where's this from? Sounds pretty

From ascap database

How many adds this week?

hm...less than 4 at the moment (maybe 0 because songs with 4 adds are last on the list...can't see below that)...taylor's new song 65 adds on HAC lol

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

5 adds on HAC this week.

5 adds at the moment on HAC

5 adds on HAC this week:

KAMX-FM - Ranked #35
KFMB-FM - Ranked #17
KQKQ-FM - Ranked #75
WKRQ-FM - Ranked #30
WMYX-FM - Ranked #38

Decent amount of adds this week, including 4 top 40 stations, one of them being top 20.

not getting many adds last few weeks but stations playing it are still increasing week and week so not to worry, although i did expect some adds since it's now in Top 30

great!

Yes!! Happy with 5 adds! I was a bit disappointed when I didn't see her. Tayor Swift though lol

Soe have you got any info from peeps about the "I Am" video? I assume it's out friday to give it a week of play before the release of the album.

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.

She loves Leona though.

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.
