I rather like it but I do agree that her vocals come across a little too relaxed. I just know Leona can sing the hell out of anything and it feels like she is holding back too much at first. Very good, though. Christmas music is on point this year!

I Like it. It's a good thing it's not a AIWFCIY wannabe.

The song is nice but she sounds bored singing it. What's up with that?

Why on earth would they push a holiday-themed song to Pop radio here? ???

However there haven't been many original, catchy songs sent to pop radio in recent years. Until this year, when both Kelly and Leona will be releasing their singles.

Well, she's only released two singles since "Better In Time" and the last one ("Happy") was 4 years ago. They most likely have a good promotional campaign behind it, as she has new management (who've been managing her facebook much better and Leona's been using twitter a lot more than she used to) and so far the single has had a mainly positive reception.

Moving to Holiday Releases with the rest of 'em - ugh, totally agreed with Nicole about the complete lack of support for Glassheart here. :/

Now available on US iTunes! I hope it can crack the top 1500. The album is already #1415 in the album chart and most people won't wake up yet!

Leona performed "One More Sleep" for the first time at the Regent Street Christmas Lights switch on earlier today.
I thought it was really nice and the routine was cute. She relied on the backing track a bit at some points and didn't hit some of the notes near the end due to currently having tonsilitus and it was also rather chilly in London this evening.

Video is out! Love it. Leona looks stunning. It uses a shorter version of the song, which I think is great as it means it can get more plays on music channels potentially.

Love the song. Video is pretty cool. Sad they chopped a lot of the song out though.

Can't wait to see how this does this Christmas! It's #2 on the UK iTunes holiday chart, so I think it'll do quite well again this year and hopefully on its way to becoming a Christmas classic in the UK! Fingers crossed she does a little more promotion for it this year, or it gets used on a TV advert or something. :)

It peaked at #3 last year. I guess we'll see this year.

I've loved this song since last year. I hadn't seen the video, though. It's adorable, and her bf is hot af.

I've already started listening to this this year!
I love this song. It's my favorite original Christmas tune since AIWFCIY.

Absolutely adore this. It's actually my favorite original Christmas song since Mariah's original songs from MCIIY. It totally encapsulates Christmas joy.

There's something about the mix of this that doesn't sit right with me--I always like it more than I remember through the first chorus and then her delivery or the production or something for the rest doesn't gel and I don't buy it. But it's a fun song with a great base melody.

Leona Lewis - One More Sleep #1423 on UK itunes, it was #1171 earlier! Very good sign that it's entered the top 1500 so far, only the second Christmas song to do so (after Mariah's AIWFCIY). Hope it'll keep rising and will crack the top 1000 in the coming week. :)

Currently #996 on UK iTunes (was #977 a little earlier). It's the second highest Xmas song still and has climbed a lot over the last few hours! Very promising signs that the song will do well again this year. There's a lot of songs ahead of it which are not eligible to chart (songs from X-factor songs, plus some instagrats), so it's technically a little higher. Can't wait to follow its progress over the next 7-8 weeks! :)
