Alexandra Burke - Heartbreak On Hold

This is so sad

!! I'm so sad for her honestly... she doesn't deserve this !!! Her label will probably drop her, however they're also faulty for not pushing radios to play her music!!! They should've done something for her!!!

It skipped on a few songs.

I'll re-purchase at a later date though.

Count me in those 6,731!

Such an awful shame!

I feel so bad for her!

If the album was sh!t I could understand but it's actually a very solid record.

I must say though I admire how she's handled it this far. Even though she's being beaten into the ground she's still surprisingly positive and up beat, shows a great deal of strength on her part, hopefully she keeps it up.

She's extremely talented, hopefully she can turn things around!

Maybe the sales are so low because a lot of people returned the flawed copies... :lol:

I honestly thought she had 25-50k in the bag first week despite the singles and radio situation. 7k is just terrible.

It's gonna have a terrible chart run too:

It will do worse than I thought!

One of my favorite albums of 2012.

#56?

So she's going to sell like 2,500 copies this week if lucky?

/ Do people really , REALLY don't care about her anymore? Is this a joke?

This is one of the biggest flops of the year, considering her previous album sold 800,000 copies! ! ! I mean, it's 800K! Not 200K or even 100K, we're talking about a close-million selling album here!

So sad!! I can't believe this, and how she's feeling, it must be horrible

by **ThaInfo1** » Wed Jun 13, 2012 1:23 am

So what is the equivalent if she was to release this was release in America? Her sales don't sound to good.

Her first album was given a large promotional push; she was coming off the back of an X Factor win, which gave her a fair amount of hype; and she also had 3 #1s and 3 other Top 20 hits, and a re-release, and a tour - which is why she managed to sell 800K of "Overcome" (although I remember fans being disappointed by the sales of that album as well, considering that JLS has managed to sell over 1.2 million with fewer singles). However, none of that actually helped her to build up a fanbase that is loyal enough to go out and buy her albums during their release week. The first two singles will have tipped the scales for a lot of people, and whilst I love the songs myself, I do think that neither "Elephant" nor "Let It Go" are quite outstanding enough to push people to spend £10 on an album. The Saturday's did two perfectly good dance singles to promote their last album as well, and that showed similar underperformance. Of course, airplay is a big factor, but I do think dance singles are quite difficult to push albums with - especially if you haven't already got a fanbase that'll buy your album anyway, regardless of what's on it.

When the new adjusted copies will arrive in the stores the sales will skyrocket... number one here we come! 8-)

(PS: maybe the Let It Go singles were flawed as well...! :lol:

Finally recieved my signed copy

by **biscuits** » Wed Jun 13, 2012 2:42 pm

I finally listened to 'Tonight'. Not sure about this as a single, I think 'Ooh La La' would have been better.

'Tonight' is even more dance than the first two singles, which I don't think will help sales at all.

by **spiritboy** » Thu Jun 14, 2012 9:02 am

I'm not sure if they'll release third single after all. Even if they release, Tonight will perform worse than LIG and that will be it. Hopefully she comes back with better and stronger material with her third album.

by **Thriller** » Thu Jun 14, 2012 4:06 pm

I hope they do persevere with another single but I wouldn't be surprised if they don't. She needs some sort of positive PR, like a US hit.

by **biscuits** » Thu Jun 14, 2012 4:09 pm

I think they'll go ahead with the third single, but it will be make or break. Quite a shame actually, because it'll be a really short era and I know she actually worked really hard on this album.
