But I've heard a lot. Why do the media and the public hate her? Why have major radio stations boycotted her music? Why has she fallen so far from being the hottest new pop star in the UK in 2009/2010?

I would say:

a)Way too long between albums and far too many delays/postponements
b)Disastrous X-Factor judging appearance
c)Lacklustre new material

Let's keep listening to Magic Hour, Fall to Grace and Late while the album is not here yet.

Guys, has it ever occurred to you that not enough people are interested? Albums leak when there are lots of fans who download and then upload. With Alexandra, that's a different story. She simply isn't popular enough. It's #15 on Irish iTunes now, which means approximately 12 copies have been sold. It wouldn't surprise me if this doesn't leak til the UK release on monday.

12 copies?

Ireland is a small country though, so I guess those figures could be accurate. Is she even that popular there in the first place? The album hasn't had much hype at all. A lot of people probably have no idea it's coming out. Technically, it can't be considered a "leak" because it's been officially released somewhere.

But.. a similar issue happened with Rebecca Ferguson. No one from Ireland put it up, yet I'm sure her album was a massive success and it's still selling very well.

Big albums have ALWAYS leaked as soon as they're available on iTunes. Albums with little interest take days after their iTunes release to leak onto the internet. This is a perfect example of that. There simply isn't enough interest.

Alexandra Burke would be a minor star over here. We know who she is, but there's no great anticipation for her album. Same with Rebecca Ferguson. Yes, the album went on to do very well, but it wasn't some out-of-the-box smash.

I'll not be surprised if it "leaks" before monday tho. There is too many blogs with iTunes accounts all over the world these days.

Nope. A few albums didnt leak before release. The END didnt leak at all. Of course there isnt a large amount of interest in this but its not a 'once a certain amount have bough it' thing- all it takes is one person, it doesnt matter how many people have bought it. Pixies last album leaked minutes after it was released and that flopped.

just read on twitter that people also are arriving it through post today, so I hope atleast the standard will leak soon then

Just saw a photo of the album at @shehnazkhan! It's arriving before its time.

Now we can hopefully wait for a leak during this weekend!

Probably she's not the only person who received it before the official release date.
