Leona has set a UK record for the fastest-selling debut album. Leona’s album saw off stiff competition from the Spice Girls’ Greatest Hits album, which went in at number two. The previous fastest-selling debut album was the Arctic Monkeys’ Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not in January 2006, which managed 363,735 copies in its first week. This week Spirit sold a massive 375,872 copies.
A spokesman for Leona said: “On it’s first day of sales alone Spirit sold over 130,000 copies, which was outselling the rest of the top 10 put together. “On average it worked out that Leona was selling an amazing 200 albums per minute.” Source: Daily Mail |

Would just like to say I have reached the ripe old age of 50 and it is the best (quality) album I have heard in the last 15-20 years - and even my daughter agrees !!
Any one of the songs could be released as a single and there are very few albums you could say that about - I am sure she will have massive success in America - best thing to come out of X-Factor since the series started -I would say she is even better than Whitney or Mariah !!
