OK "Can't Breath" has become the standout for me.
This HAS to be a single.

For me, it's the same song but suprisingly for me with Leona - at the lower end of the register at the 2.01 mark where she says "I'm almost never afraid now..." <shivers> Awesome

I expecting less since Happy has flopped but if she can make her promo this week I think she can do around 70k, hopefully.

That's terrible. This album deserves better but whatever. I am over caring about how my favorite artists do. I listen to a lot of indie artists and they sell next to nothing. Look at Santigold's sales or M.I.A. I will continue to love this album no matter how much it sells.
P.S. What's up Josh. Long time no see!

That performance was mimed, LL has a throat infection. She had to cancel promo earlier this week because of it.

The Amazon MP3 Deal of the Day for Leona's new album is over! Although the deal can be for a day most record labels extend it for two days or even an entire week.
That was a great deal for $3.99 for an entire album!

With a flop single 60-65K is still better than what I expected. It's a shame though, had they picked 'I Got You' as the lead single and assuming it would've been a smash I think it is, she probably would've opened with 200K or more.
I wonder if they can still save this era ? next single is make ir or break it...or is it too late already ?.

This is only the start, luckily she has some great songs to send out as singles and her world totals will still be good. There's Avatar and Final Fantasy songs around the corner as well. We're in it for the long haul on this one.

What separates Leona from the average mediocre singer who flops is that Leona is a vocalist...not a singer. She is considered world class. Her voice is compared to Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, and Celine Dion.
Plus she has excellent promo not just in America but throughout the world.

RyanJL on the Official posted it was 19 and 32, his Itunes updates very quickly.
And nice debuts in those countries, Leona has a nice European fanbase.

They should throw both "Outta My Head" and "Can't Breath" out there together.
One to pop and one to Rhytmic
