Stephane Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 By the end of the week, Mika will have sold more than a million copies of LICM in the UK... Unfortunetly, Leona Lewis will take the 2nd spot of the Best Selling Album of 2007 (behind Amy) and Mika will be then 3rd. Best Selling Albums of the Year so far 1 Back to Black – Amy Winehouse 1,362,228 2 Life in Cartoon Motion - Mika 981,000 3 Spirit - Leona Lewis 918,536 4 Beautiful World – Take That 836,595 5 Favourite Worst Nightmare - Arctic Monkeys 596,720 Best Selling Singles of the year so far 1 Leona Lewis Bleeding love 691842 2 Rihanna feat Jay Z Umbrella 490290 3 Mika Grace Kelly 483230 4 Proclaimers ft Brian Potter and Andy Pipkin (I'm gonna be) 500 miles 333600 5 Timbaland feat D.O.E. and Keri Hilson The way I are 321130 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DS Nightly Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 That is an ASTRONOMICAL achievment! How many times platinum is that? And to think he only sold like 300,000 copies in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkly1 Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 pfft she just sounds like everyone else anyway, yeah she can sing but....can she write her own st0of, can she sound unique? not to me. Hmph both those singles were just boring.....zzzzzzzzzzz....not a fresh sound like Grace Kelly was. Amy W has a fairly unique sound and look too so I quite like SOME of her st0ofs. But of course MIKA is the guy who should win everything in the whole world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hannah Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 What is Leona Lewis' appeal? Bleeding Love is not that great of a song, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Sky Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 No but what a marketing machine she has behind her. Lots of people probably need her to make money for them now after all they invested LOL!! Next year nobody will remember her??? And here in Japan nobody has EVER heard of her, but MIKA made it to the Top 5 twice with GK. Don't worry Leona is a very local thing:blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fmbm Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 YAY for MIKA! He deserves 1st place though:sneaky2: I haven't even heard this "Bleeding Love" song yet, it must not be very good:wink2: EDIT: I've just YouTubed her song.... 1. The video is lame. 2. It's not catchy at all. 3. Mika wins. Good day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry Leona is a very local thing:blink: Not anymore, Official single charts : Bulgaria: 34- Cyprus: 7-6- (Airplays) Denmark: 4- Ireland: 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 Norway: 5 New Zeland: 3 Poland: 39- (Airplays) Roumania: 57-48 UK: 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-EC Slovenia: 4-1-EC (Airplays) Sweden: 7-4 It's only the beginning, and on Itunes : BLEEDING LOVE Australia: #28 Denmark: #1 Spain: #25 Finland: #22 Greece: #6 Ireland: #3 Luxembourg: #5 New-Zealand: #1 Norway: #11 Austria: #25 Switzerland: #2 Sweden: #3 UK: #5 For the US, next year... So she has started to get successful as well in Europe & Oceania such as Mika! I actually like Bleeding Love, I thought it was lame at the begining but the song grew on me very fast... The album is fine, not brillant, just ok... She did write some songs on her album. But at the end I wish Mika was ahead of her because yes his music is kinda new & fresh... But Mika did have a huge promo as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 everybody keeps banging on about how great Leonas voice sounds on the track! ok she has a good voice but she's too whiney for me this is the kind of song i can sing along to because i dont think i ruin it the fact that she never even wrote this song really bugs me to Edit: well done Mika =D lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
