Leona posted a new blog on her official site where she talks about reaching the #1 spot on the American Billboard chart:

Hi everyone

Well I really don’t know what to say, I’m so overwhelmed right now!

I’m getting to share my music with people around the world and its beyond my wildest dreams. From the bottom of my heart thank u all so much, its because of you that I am able to do this.

I called my family to share the news and my mum started crying it was so sweet. They’re coming to visit me in new york and were all going to celebrate because its also my birthday when I’m there!

I’m still in LA at the moment so I’m going to make sure I find time to celebrate here too !!

Once again I can’t thank everyone enough for this incredible support !!

Luv
Leona

   To Leona
   I am your bigest fan in the whole wide world. I have made a collarge of you, I listen and sing your music all day long. My favourite song of yours is footprints in the sand. It has been since I first listened to it. I have made a brilliant slideshow of you. Can you put your address or email on your website so I can send it to you. Anyway have a fantastic birthday because you deserve it! And I could not enter the card competition sorry. Are you by any chance going to be in Cardiff doing any live shows there? And well done about being number one in America. All your songs are great! I knew you were going to win the X factor after your first audition. My favourite performance on the X factor of yours was Somewhere over the rainbow. Please keep going and have a great birthday!
   I love you Leona!
   Loads of love
   X Emily X

   i love leona as a person and her voice is one of the greatest voice ever heard and she is very pretty. This makes me wonder why her picture on the cover of her new release looks too artificial.pls do not create a new image for her as she is naturally beautiful.
