Leona Lewis' Debut Album Spirit
"The Fastest Selling UK Debut Album Ever"
On Sunday, November 18, Leona Lewis' debut album Spirit went straight to number one as well as becoming the UK's fastest-selling debut album of all time. The previous UK record was set by the Arctic Monkeys, who sold 363,735 copies of Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not in January 2006. This week Spirit sold a 375,872 copies.
According to J Records/Syco, "On its first day of UK sales, Spirit sold over 130,000 copies. On average it worked out that Leona was selling an amazing 200 albums per minute. These unprecedented sales have bucked the recent trend of CD sale slumps and already industry experts are predicting that Spirit could go on to sell over a million copies before the year ends in the UK alone."
Spirit is scheduled for release in the U.S. on March 18th on J Records/Syco and will be preceded by "Bleeding Love," which is set for release on January 14th. |GlobalGiants.com|
