While her debut album was undoubtedly an enormous success, fans believed that poor management and failure to help develop Lewis as the superstar that she is would eventually see her career tank. She subsequently became the first UK woman for 20 years to have reached the impressive feat, and while Lewis’ future looked bright, things quickly started to change. 1 on the UK Charts, but it was also getting a lot of push across the pond before eventually reaching the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100. Her hit single “Bleeding Love” not only skyrocketed to No. The show had undoubtedly helped propel her into becoming a household name in Britain, with her debut album, Spirit, in 2007, becoming the best-selling record that year.
1.Though she’s arguably one of the best singers in the music industry, Leona Lewis’ career took some interesting turns after winning the third series of The X Factor UK in 2006. Her lone top five single on the Billboard Hot 100 is "Bleeding Love," though that song did go all the way to No. Meanwhile, Lewis has yet to receive that level of success in the US. Former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell, Ellie Goulding, Jessie J, Emeli Sandé, Cheryl Cole, Louise, Billie Piper, Cilla Black, Shirley Bassey and Petula Clark all hold that honor. Several British solo females have received six top five singles. John has had seven top fives in her home country. Lewis ended up beating out Olivia Newton John for the top British female solo seller title. Her new song is the lead single from her sparkly, throwback Christmas album Christmas, With Love, which was released at the end of November. With "One More Sleep," that is eight top fives in total. Other songs of Lewis' that have reached the top five are: her X Factor winner's single "A Moment Like This," "Bleeding Love," "Better In Time/Footprints in the Sand," "Forgive Me," "Run," "Happy" and her Avicii collaboration "Collide." 3 this week, just behind Lily Allen's stunning cover of Keane's "Somewhere Only We Know" and Avicii's "Hey Brother."
So, what was the song that finally helped her into music history? Her jangly, upbeat Christmas tune "One More Sleep."Īccording to Official Charts UK, Lewis achieved the goal when "One More Sleep" rose to No. The "Bleeding Love" singer has just smashed through a British chart record by becoming the first female British solo artist to have eight top 5 singles in the UK. England really loves to buy Leona Lewis' music.
