| Leona Lewis releases fastest selling single Leona Lewis' new single 'Bleeding Love' has become the fastest selling record in the UK this year. 'The X Factor' winner - who broke records with her debut single 'A Moment Like This' after she won the ITV reality show last year - is already outselling her biggest chart rivals Take That by two-to-one. More than 3,000 people snapped up 'Bleeding Love' in the first hour after it had been released on Monday (22.10.07). Record store HMV spokesperson Gennaro Castaldo said: "It's turning out to be a massive week for singles sales. 'Bleeding Love' is outselling Take That's 'Rule The World' by two-to-one and the rest of the top ten combined, and is on course to top 200,000 sales by the end of the week if stores can keep it in stock - it's without doubt the fastest-selling single of the year." The 'Bleeding Love' video - which shows stunning Leona in curve-hugging Dolce and Gabanna dresses - is attracting an average of 150 views a minute worldwide on video sharing website YouTube. The promo also received three million views online in the first 24 hours it was available. If Leona is still number one when the top 10 selling singles in the UK are announced on Sunday (28.10.07), she will become the first 'The X Factor' winner to reach the top spot with a second single. |
Led Zeppelin set to reform Led Zeppelin look set to reform for a gig at London's O2 Arena this autumn. Although there has been no official announcement that the legendary rockers will perform again 27 years after they disbanded, advertisements appeared in the national press today (September 1) with top-price ticket and hotel packages on offer for ?369. A cheaper package from the Premier Entertainments company, including a night in a four-star hotel, is available for ?269, reports This Is London. Callers today were told: "It's just about to be officially announced." Promoters subsequently told BBC 6 Music not to book tickets "just yet", but did not deny the story. A statement issued later by the promoter Harvey Goldsmith regarding the packages again warned fans not to buy from touts and claimed "there are NO packages or tickets for some the events advertised at all, nor do some of the events even exist", but again it stopped short of a full denial regarding the reformation. It read in full: "There have been at least four events advertised which I suspect either don't exist or where no tickets are on sale or indeed dates finalized. These are the very people whom our industry has spent over a year trying to convince the DCMS to instigate outlawing. "The media should consider the consequences of giving credibility to those who rip the public off. "There are NO packages or tickets for some the events advertised at all, nor do some of the events even exist. We are concerned that the public will be fleeced. The bottom line is that unless official adverts have appeared for concerts, tickets are not on sale. Do not buy from unauthorised sources." The reunion has been rumoured all year, and suspicions were further aroused when it was revealed the band would release a 2-CD 'Best Of' compilation called 'Mothership' on November 11. It's thought that original drummer John Bonham's son Jason would replace him on drums. The band originally split following John's death aged 32 in 1980 after choking on his own vomit following an alcohol binge. The three surviving members - John Paul Jones, Robert Plant and Jimmy Page - briefly reunited at the Live Aid concert in Philadelphia in 1985 and at Atlantic Records' 40th birthday celebrations in 1988. |
Wilco cancel upcoming tour dates Wilco have been forced to cancel two shows this week due to guitarist Nels Cline contracting the chicken pox. The band were set to play tomorrow (August 14) in Duluth, Minnesota and in Winnipeg, Manitoba on Wednesday (15), but have announced the rescheduling of the Duluth show for September 4. The Winnipeg show has been cancelled and will be rescheduled for a date in 2008 that has yet to be determined. In a posting on their website, the band wrote: "We're sorry to report that our good friend and Wilco guitarist extraordinaire Nels Cline has recently contracted a rather nasty case of the CHICKEN POX (not sure that should be in all caps... but judging from the gruesome details in email correspondence we've had with NC, we'll leave it so). "He is slowly on the mend but is not quite there yet, necessitating postponement of the Duluth, Minnesota show scheduled for this Tuesday night...the show scheduled for this Wednesday in Winnipeg, Manitoba has also been cancelled, and will be rescheduled for some time in 2008. Refunds will be available at point of purchase. We will post more details as they become available." The remainder of the band's North American tour is set to go ahead as planned. |
