Gabrielle *FLUSH*

[Suedehead]

About time too!

[Andricicle]

A Sophie Ellis-Bextor duet cover of "No More Tears" beckons...

[Suedehead]

With a guest appearance from Emma the Forehead please!

[lolly]

I would have thought she is exactly the sort of artist who could be saved with a strong second or third single though.

Still, if the whole album is as tunefree as the first single, what are the chances of that? :D

[Sild]

It's following a similar pattern to Rise though so far isn't it? That didn't take off until single #2.

In fairness, she'd never had a HUGE selling album before that though... so this time you'd expect a higher debut...

Having said that she IS debuting 12 places higher than Rise did, despite the single getting 11 places LOWER than Sunshine did.

I am a BIT concerned now though... I don't think they'd drop her just like THAT though, with 4 albums under her belt and 10 top 10 hits.

Surely she'll get another couple of singles, with her track record.

Oh I'd think so. I'd even expect them to give her another ALBUM.

[Commotion]

Rise and her GH each sold over a million copies so I think that she'll get every assistance by her recoird company and even if nothing takes off she'll get another album!

Apart from Dido she is the biggest UK female artist of the past 10 years!

[cwej]

Since Dusty Springfield apparently.... in terms of solo sales in the UK along.

[Joey]

Is Petula Clark still the biggest selling UK female solo artist ever?

[cwej]

Don't have a clue... If we're talking worldwide sales though Gabrielle is WAY down the list, she's only sold 5 million worldwide.

In the UK she's top 5 for sure though...

[Rachey]

Is cwej going to have a nervous breakdown if Gabrielle gets flushed?

[cwej]

I think I'll COPE. Anyway, the UPSIDE of it is that she'll have cheaper tours and stuff. :D

[Joey]

So where did she end up?

Play To Win?

Play to bring up the ARSE end of the top ten.

Sheena Easton outsold Gabrielle...

[cwej]

Perhaps Sheena Easton outsold Gabs on UK album sales, but at the end of the day Gabrielle has had 10 top 10 hits, which is more than 3 times as many as Sheena...

I wouldn't imagine Sheena Easton is anywhere NEAR Gabrielle in UK album sales.

It's PART of it, shows the consistency of an artist.

[lolly]

Toyah's right anyway. Gabrielle's album sales in the UK would trounce Sheena Easton's.

Yes, I know, but Cwej made it sound like the be all and end all of how to judge an artist's success :daf:

[Sild]

I find it VERY hard to believe that Sheena outsold Gabs by the way... she can't have had more than ONE big album here.

She's only had 3 albums in the Top 40 and #17 was Sheena's best position!

[Sild]

Well THERE, I feel validated now...

Well it's about all that Atomic fucking Kitten have got going for them isn't it... Gabrielle has 2 million plus selling albums as well...

Talk about find an excuse to lay into Cwej, when he had a perfectly valid point.

[Pia_Zadora]

You do know that Sheena had 10 US top 10 singles and sold about 5 million albums there. She did about a million or so in Japan too. Easton was global! She had a few Gold albums here too. She was a lot more successful that fuckin'Gabrielle. :manson:

Oh fuck off you gimp, we were talking about the UK charts!

[Pia_Zadora]

No, you yot decided to attack everything I say. I never mentioned any country at all. You just can't take it that you were wrong. You should've checked your facts first before opening that big gob of yours.

And before you go on about how you don't care about Sheena fucking Easton.

You obviously do or you wouldn't have started claiming that I was wrong.

[Toyah]

I was replying to cwej's post and I quote -

"Perhaps Sheena Easton outsold Gabs on UK album sales"

And the rest of the thread took of from there. Try reading the thread, or better yet, fuck off back to Haven you fucking dullard!

[Pia_Zadora]

I think you just love to have someone to bitch at...

Your so passe Toyah. Always attacking people calling them cunts and telling them to fuck off... It's quite sad really, you must be really lacking in the social skills department. Why can't you just play nice? I haven't harmed you in any way. Yet you still just butt in on everything I post and find fault. Even, in this case, where there is none. I was right. Sheena Easton outsells Gabrielle 10 to 1 easily. Singles and albums. Accept it or don't... who cares?

[Toyah]

You're CRAP, piss off! Who likes you here?

I do

[Pia_Zadora]

I didn't realise I had to be liked. And the fact that you know that I post on Haven is very sad. Please stop the stalking, this obsession with me isn't really welcomed you know...

[Toyah]

YOU said you posted on Haven!
