Actually, that's not quite correct. Breakfast, the one that charted at #168, was never released as an official single in the UK. It was the insta-grat single released alongside the album back in December. It peaked at 168 when Sax was still in the Top 10. Many artists nowadays release grat singles - as I said, they're not official singles, and they never chart high, they're purely promotional. The reason Wikipedia have it listed as the third single is to coincide with when it was sent to US radio for a US release.
As for the one that didn't chart, More and More, that technically never had a release. Yes, I'd say it was likely the track never would have done well due to minimal interest on iTunes following the NTA and Lorraine performances, but some key promotional elements, including the promotional video, never saw the light of day, meaning the track never had an official impact week.

I think More and More could have done reasonably well if given some decent promotion.
Okay so basically syco cancelled the track more and more they asked radio to remove it because they were hoping she was gonna hop on David Guetta track but Zara Larson had already secured the deal and thank god coz that song was utter shite! They were going to release breakfast in the summer officially but syco and Fleur came to the conclusion to do all brand new material instead so she could find a new sound because the full on retro pop route wasn't entirely what Fleur wanted to do !
Also more and more with a full 8 week impact date if they carried on with it would've most likely been a top 40 coz it was climbing there after the NTA, and that performance wasn't that great either she performed it better on Lorraine! She had 48 hours to turn that around she wasn't even supposed to be on the NTA Louisa was but she was poorly so Fleur stepped in last minute wit a rushed single choice it was between baby don't dance and more and more!

It would have been quite an achievement for Fleur East to've got on a song with David Guetta. The FIFA World cup anthem, she was in the running to be on that? As a runner-up from the British X Factor, a show already in its dotage? That's some pulling of strings hard by Cowell to make that something that could happen.

Yes it was between her, Zara and can't remember the other girl but Zara secured it first, but yes Fleur was meant to go on it but Zara team pushed harder for it I guess, the song wasn't that good and wasn't received so well - just coz Fleur came from XF doesn't mean she's any less Talented and to be fair to her she was doing her own thing for 10 years she's worked really hard for it, she's also making her own contacts in the industry she's been working with Some excellent producers

Not true. The song went top 10 around Europe and was number 1 in France and Germany. I didn't really like the song personally but it would have been a great launching pad for Fleur in Europe. Personally, I can't imagine her singing on it. Her vocal style is so different to Zara's.
Well it wasn't received well here maybe Europe but yeah it would've been a good launch pad but the style of song isn't really Fleur imo! Fleur should be doing rnb and hip hop and she has done some collabs but unsure who she's getting close with Tinie tempah at the moment and labyrinth is a big fan of her she hasn't said who it is though I'm just guessing!

According to Wikipedia she did release a single in the states
She released further singles in UK and bombed.
According to Eva Coco she had sold one million copies.
Sax has sold 100k ceriticated not one million.
It's all on her wiki.
Million single sales not album I didn't include the album
Sax is platinum here -600k, Ireland Spain, gold in Germany Austalia etc and not including what is sold worldwide -= million sales worldwide her Spotify streams at nearly at 100 million all album songs included
She released one more song - more and more keep up we already discussed this

She is a one hit wonder.
Spin all you like and blame everyone for why this and that did not happen all the time.
She has had the best opportunity given to her and promotion worldwide, sax flogged to death on an advert and X Factor and ....
Just one hit.
A workman always blames his tools.

I didn't dispute she's only had one hit that's fact but she's hoping to change that with her new material hence why she isn't rushing it - and I hope it does well for her because she's got the potential to really do well

I think it is a good sign that the new album isn't being rushed. I think that she could well prove a lot of the doubters wrong.

Maybe so, I was just pointing out to you in my previous post how she technically hasn't released any other singles as of yet. As of right now, she is a one hit wonder, I don't think anyone's denying that. She may very well never be anything but a one hit wonder.
The huge campaign for Sax served to make Sax, the song, very popular. That song, with the promotion it had, would've been huge regardless of who sang it. It didn't lead to people being interested in Fleur outside of Sax, so it's not surprising she's struggled since. A lot of people wouldn't be aware of who she is. But that doesn't change that her only other single was cancelled before it fully had the chance to succeed or fail.
I can't believe this is still going? My post was a bit of tongue and cheek.
Some of the comments are extreme on here. I've got acts I love, but I wouldn't get offended if someone said something bad about them. Some like Fleur and think she's great, some people hate and some people are indifferent. None of the opinions are objectively correct. It's best to agree to disagree probably.
Also, it's nice to be balanced in comments. She's not for me personally, but why deride someone so heavily? If you take pleasure in coming out with bitter and invective comments, there's probably something wrong with you rather than your target of censure.

The song is okay Big Bang but it's not a good as David's other stuff or Zara's for me personally

You might want to calm your little self down there, honey. The comment was at the people being rude about Fleur, not you. Don't bite everyone who makes a comment. Weird.

I liked it! Zara was just coming off three big hits though so I'm not surprised she was able to score it.

It ripped off Lean On by Major Lazer and DJ Snake. It's a cheap imitation, so no, I'm no fan.
