Alexandra Burke

[Jay]

If only she'd change her logo. Text placement is naff too. Picture is spoiled by this.

Thank god she hasn't gone for a bad one now then flitted back and forth between campaigns

The Saturdays?

-------

Elephant's chart run - I haven't followed the charts all that closely recently, so I was quite shocked to see that it's already out of the Top 100 - it suffered a massive 58 place drop this week: [3-12-18-24-29-47-105]. 6 weeks in the Top 100 for a Top 3 hit is quite awful. Total sales so far are only 115,000.

Her singles sales:

1,220,000 - Hallelujah (#1)
730,000 - Bad Boys (#1)
310,000 - Broken Heels (#8)
285,000 - All Night Long (#4)
265,000 - Start Without You (#1)
115,000 - Elephant (#3)
61,000 - The Silence (#16)

Lol that her #8 peaking single 'Broken Heels' sold more than her two-weeks-at-#1-hit 'Start Without You'.

Her debut album 'Overcome' has sold around 800,000.

I really like the album cover. The picture is fantastic! I think I may give this a listen, I like some of her songs, I'm sure all enjoy some from the new album

[Ian]

We are going to the album listening party on 30th May - just won some tickets. Should be fun. I'm liking the new song.

[Jamie]

I still believe her best song is The Silence.

[Stewie]

'Elephant' probably won't even reach 200k at this rate.
'All Fired Up' for example was already over 160k in its sixth week, and it sold a bit more than 200k.

[Charmingspice5]

Love the new single! I jjust heard it for the first time today and thought it was great! Much better than Elephant which I also enjoyed, but Let It Go is an awesome song imo!

[schizophonic_spice]

I really love Elephant, wish it had performed better saleswise.

Let It Go however is perfect dance-pop

[BoyV]

Let it go is a real great song! Not into her, but this track has got me hooked.

[Charmingspice5]

Album Sampler much more Dance-Pop than I thought it would be, looking forward to it personally though the ballad at the end doesn't really fit at all

It'll be one of my favorite album from 2012. I already know that.

+ 1

I really hope it doesn't flop.

[Jay]

*Sigh* I'll reserve full judgement until I've heard the whole album. The previews are forgettable & not one of them sparks my interest.

That comment so perfectly encapsulates all that Alexandra Burke is about, I couldn't better it if I tried x

[Jay]

Alexandra's bombing. 'Let It Go' is currently only #35 on iTunes.

New releases by Lawson & Rudimental are already #7 and #8 respectively on iTunes.

[SpiceFan2008]

That's a shame.
It's a good song. I'm tempted to get her album when it comes out, but she'll probably re-release it like Overcome, and I don't particularly want to waste my money, as I don't have too much atm!

[Vomiting Porpoise]

Alexandra's bombing.

[schizophonic_spice]

Had a feeling she would bomb with it unfortunately.

I expect the album will probaly flop too, still at least we fans will have it to enjoy.

[Vomiting Porpoise]

Savour every second because it will be your last x

[schizophonic_spice]

Savour every second because it will be your last x

Alex will clearly go down the Melanie C path so I wouldn't be so sure

[Charmingspice5]

Ouch! Sucks the song is not doing well at all because I really like it. I hope she gets out there and does some promo for it otherwise it probably won't start to do any better

[Jamie]

Another X Factor winner bites the dust!

[tommie]

At 19 in the midweeks. It's already falling on iTunes, so expect a top 30 entry for her at best.

Ouch.

Ouch.

Oh god such a good song doesn't deserve to potentially miss the Top 30

She performed an acoustic version on Loose Women today (it was beautiful) I hope that helps stabilise it a bit.

I'm worried about the album though

[TheDoctor]

^ I wouldn't be too worried. Last week's number 1 sold 13k, and I'm assuming she'll sell more than that at least so I'm expecting number 1.. I mean Overcome sold 131,000 in its first week - so surely she can't lose over 100,00 sales?!

[Ian]

Off to her album listening tonight (should be good!)
