Billboard magazine is reporting X-Factor winner Leona Lewis has made US history with her debut album. The 23 year old singer is the first British female solo artist to have an album take the Number #1 spot on the US singles chart in 21 years. source Watch the US Version of the Leona Lewis Bleeding Love.
There appears to be no stopping Simon Cowell, the sharp-tongued judge of "American Idol" and man behind U.K. singing competition "The X-Factor." His latest discovery, British R&B singer Leona Lewis, has debuted at No. 1 on this week's U.S. pop chart, selling 205,000 copies of her Syco/J Records debut, "Spirit," according to Nielsen SoundScan.
Lewis, who's been heavily endorsed by gossip blogger Perez Hilton and last month appeared on "The Oprah Winfrey Show," has become the first British solo artist to ever debut atop the Billboard charts, according to the magazine's Web site.
Lewis has already secured a No. 1 single in the U.S. with her "Bleeding Love," and don't look for her momentum to slow. While she will likely be dethroned next week by another pop diva, Mariah Carey, Lewis is slated to appear on "American Idol" the week of April 21.
But don't call her a TV-made artist, said J Records head Clive Davis
in a recent interview with the Times. "The TV aspect is irrelevant. I
was impressed with [Leona] in the same way Whitney Houston or Alicia Keys
auditioned for me. There's no connection with television with my
getting involved with her ... I don't think anyone in this country
knows of 'The X-Factor'." source
