LDN is the official single, but video stations and websites have been playing Alfie. Why is that?

LDN is the official single, but video stations and websites have been playing Alfie. Why is that? "Alfie" was the placeholder until they decided on a second single. And they chose "LDN."

GIGWISELily Allen Knows Why Kurt Cobain Killed HimselfAfter a night out with Courtney Love...Even Lily Allen’s supposed friends aren’t immune from a tongue-lashing from the blog-happy singer.Lily’s latest target is Courtney Love after the pair hung out together in LA in April. In a message to a MySpace friend, the Smile singer reportedly wrote: “I am not bfs (best friends) w/ (with) C (Courtney) Love, one night with her made me realise why Kurt (Cobain) killed himself.” If that wasn’t harsh enough, Lily adds that after spending time with Courtney, “I nearly checked into rehab.” ===========================//============================

It's holding up pretty good but she's gonna get Gold at the most unless she drops another single that will capture enough attention. "LDN" is not it.

I agree, radio still hasn't picked it up yet and not sure if she needs to appear on Saturday Nite Live or something to get some attention on her. Amy is kicking her but and Lily was out first here back in January. I like LDN but not sure why radio is still pushing so much R& B and rap still.

I'm tired of the two girls being compared against each other. Lily already did SNL. It's true radio could give her a big boost, but I think she sold more than expected already, and she seems uninterested in milking this era any longer. I see "LDN" quite often on Fuse. The album is still selling itself.

Lily Allen's Having the 'Bestest' of Days FRIDAY AUGUST 03, 2007 10:30 AM EDT
By Pete Norman People Magazine
Less than two months after declaring she was ready to walk away from fame, British songstress Lily Allen has re-discovered what it is to have fun.
Describing her current mood as happy, the 22-year-old "Smile" singer makes an upbeat admission on her Web site: "I have had a wonderful few weeks."
She writes, "Playing Glastonbury [music festival] was the singularly most bestest moment of my entire life, and made me realise what this is all about. I had such a laugh."
Allen's new blog is in stark contrast to the harsh message she delivered on June 14. Titled "F--- Off, F--- Off," it stated that her newfound celebrity and tabloid hounding made her lose interest in keeping an online journal.
Not that there's any telling how long her newfound delight may last. Friday's Melbourne Herald Sun in Australia reports that the singer kicked a photographer after she performed before a sold-out audience there. (On June 28, Allen was arrested for punching a photographer in her hometown of London.)
Still, Allen - who is finishing up a tour Down Under before performing at eight festivals in Europe - appears to have re-embraced a comfort-food habit with relish after a stop in Japan.
"[I'm] staying in the glamorous Medina apartments which has its own cooker, so I woke up this morning and went to the shops and bought Heinz beans and made us beans on toast with sprinkled cheese on top," she says. "It may not sound exciting, but after four days up a mountain in Japan with NO food whatsoever, beans on toast is looking good."
Allen concludes her blog, which includes a photo of her smiling and dressed in a panda outfit as she embraces an iced Slurpee on a downtown New York City street, with a friendly promise of more to come for her fans.
"I'm flying to LA for some business that needs attending to, then more festivals, yipppeeee !!!!!!!!!! I'm happy at the moment, really happy," she writes. "Love ya'll."

Manager: Allen's U.S. Tour Not In DoubtAugust 07, 2007, 11:00 AM ET Lars Brandle, London Representatives for Lily Allen have played down reports claiming the British pop star had her U.S. visa canceled after being detained at a Los Angeles airport. Allen's manager Neale Easterby, of Empire Management, confirmed the artist had been held in customs, but dismissed claims that she had been denied entry into America. "It's rubbish. There's no story; it's all good," Easterby tells Billboard.com. "She's in Las Vegas right now, and she will be there until Thursday shooting a video with Common and Kanye West" for Common's track "Drivin' Me Wild." Allen had flown in to the U.S. from Australia, where she had wrapped a tour. Easterby confirms Allen was held up in U.S. customs "for a few hours" for an undisclosed issue. "She'll go back in September for her own U.S. West Coast dates," adds Easterby. "It's all going to be sorted out." Allen is booked for a series of European and South American summer festival and headlining dates, before embarking on a U.S. stint beginning Sept. 6 at the House of Blues in San Diego. In the U.S., Allen's Capitol debut, "Alright, Still," has sold 374,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Lily Allen Provides a Sick Note MONDAY AUGUST 13, 2007 10:15 AM EDT By Pete Norman People Magazine Singer Lily Allen is sick - and she has a note from her doctor to prove it. Forced to cancel performances at festivals in four European cities, Allen showed fans that she really is too ill to perform by posting a photo of her holding up a doctor's letter on her MySpace page. "Hello everybody, I've have literally been around the whole world in two weeks from London to Japan around Australia and then to L.A. and Vegas then back to L.A. for a 17 hour video shoot," she writes. "And now I'm back in London eating my mum's chicken soup 'cause I'm afraid the travelling has caught up with me." Suffering from both throat and nose infections, the 22-year-old "Smile" singer decided to take the unusual step to thwart potential critics. "I've got sinusitis and strep throat - I don't even know what that is - and have been advised to take a couple of weeks off by a doctor in L.A. and a doctor here," she says. The sick note - valid until Aug. 17 - was issued in Islington, north London, and Allen uses it to explain why she decided to pull out of the shows. "Before anyone starts trying to accuse me of neglecting my fans I want to apologize and say how sorry I am, but I can't risk causing any permanent damage," she says. "I hope people can understand and aren't too angry." Allen may have to contend with upset American fans too after immigration officials unexpectedly revoked her U.S. working visa. Hopefully, she can get a new one by next month when she is expected to tour here. Allen displays her doctor's note.

Lily Allen Postpones U.S. Dates Due to Visa IssuesCanceling shows is pretty much the new playing shows, and Lily Allen has continued the recent trend we've seen from a few artists by postponing her previously reported U.S. West Coast dates. It seems she remains tangled up in the process of reinstating her work visa. This also means she will not appear at MTV's Video Music Awards on September 9 in Las Vegas. Refunds for U.S. ticketholders will be available at the places of purchase. 09-06 San Diego, CA - House of Blues 09-07 Las Vegas, NV - The Joint @ Hard Rock Hotel 09-10 Anaheim, CA - House of Blues 09-12 San Francisco, CA - Warfield Theatre 09-14 Portland, OR - Crystal Ballroom 09-15 Seattle, WA - Paramount Theatre Message posted on her official site: Lily is absolutely gutted, but unfortunately she's had to postpone her upcoming tour dates on America's West Cast due to problems with her work visa. US authorities revoked the visa earlier this month when she was entering the country, and the reinstatement process has taken longer than anticipated. This means she'll be unable to perform any of her live shows (due to start on 6th September in San Diego) or at the MTV Awards. Lily said: 'I am so disappointed that I won't be able to come to the States at this time. I was really looking forward to playing these shows and being part of the Video Music Awards. I want my fans to know that I'll be back as soon as I possibly can!'
