First British artist in history to debut at number one!
Selling a massive 204,841 copies in one week, Sprit outsold the
number two (Troubadour by Straight George) and three
(Sunset Man by Otto James) albums by an impressive 88,256.
This phenomenal result comes just two weeks after her first
single ‘Bleeding Love’ went in at number one, making her the
first British female vocalist to take the number one single
spot in an almighty 21 years.
Having dropped a few places last week, ‘Bleeding Love’
returned to the number one spot this week which means that
Leona has done the unthinkable and bagged a double whammy
of chart topping success in the States; a notoriously hard
market to crack.
Simon Cowell has commented, ‘What Leona has achieved is
simply incredible. This is the hardest market to crack and for
her debut album to go in at number 1 is unbelievable.’
