You said it yourself. "A really tiny little difference".

800 and 100 are probably less than 300 sales on iTunes. It's all about physical copies with the album market. Unless you pull a BEYONCE or channelORANGE.

I'll be disappointed if Leona doesn't go top 20, but I won't be shocked at the same time. I think there's much more chance of Leona going top 20 when you get people like Cher Lloyd and Lily Allen going top 20 despite having no hot songs over there.

The album is up to #210 on German iTunes.

What crap ! They used all of leona's old stuff ! I'm sorry but the Rock In Rio gig thing is probably one of her worst shows EVER , her voice sounded so tired and it just wasn't great yet somehow the person who made the video put all of those in. Since 2011 her upper chest register has improved so much , in terms of ease, resonance and power. So it's so strange to me that they're using XFactor clips for things like the E5 when her E5 in FUMF is pretty strong.

& while I'm at it lol , I really hate the blonde hair ! I much prefer it dark, she just looks so mystical and elegant. But now with the blonde, not only am I not too fond of it but it's nothing different to ciara or Beyoncé whereas the long brunette is surprisingly uncommon.

It was humorism of course it makes a difference..pre order are a good indication of how an album will do..again let's see in 2 weeks..and I could be: oh sorry Isthishappiness you were right..or you to me : sorry pes I was not prepare for that

Both of their previous albums were successful though (S+S peaked at #9 and INMIY peaked at #5). Also, 'Want U Back' was a decent-sized hit for Cher and that was only a couple of years before SIL was released. I'm not trying to be a negative Nancy or anything, but I don't want everyone getting their hopes up.

INMIY was released 5 years prior or something like that, with no releases in between. It's a great situation to compare.

Cher had a good hit with Want U Back two years before the release of the second album which had no hit at all.

Honestly, my hopes are not "up". I've been constantly the most realistic (sorry negative) person about this album and would say top 10 in the UK isn't even on lock, but I just think we're underestimating the fact that a lot of people in America remember Leona and have wanted new music from her for years. It doesn't take much to crack the top 20 anymore.

10,000 sales should crack the top 20 on the billboard album chart. Future is at #20 this week with 9,840, according to HDD in "final"

Yeah, I seriously don't think Leona will have a problem with doing that at all! Am I being too positive, or?
