Good news, promo in Ireland..
Quote:
Singer Pixie Lott will be joining Brendan O'Connor on The Saturday Night Show and will perform her new single from her album.
Also on the show will be Alan Hughes, who will be chatting to O'Connor about his glitzy wedding to Karl Broderick.
Derek Hughes of the Hughes and Hughes chain of bookshops will talk about his devastation when the receivers were called in to his business in February 2010.
The Saturday Night Show with Brendan O'Connor airs on RTÉ One on Saturday at 9:50pm.

BBC Review

Sad news: there is no Boys and Girls on this, Pixie Lott’s second album. Her one real smasheroo moment so far made the most of the singer’s dark, nosey rasp, churning on a delirious one-note chorus and creating a properly improper, devilish, bratty and rude pop song. But it’s a trick she has failed to repeat on Young Foolish Happy, which is odd, because Pixie is clearly working with songwriters who are capable of a finely tuned pastiche or two.
Kiss the Stars, for example, is essentially Firework by Katy Perry; when making Bright Lights (Good Life) Part 2, someone failed to clear the Bruce Hornsby piano sample they wish the song was based on (yep, that one); and the template for All About Tonight is clearly All Of The Songs In The Top Five (circa 2010). For her part, Pixie still sings as if she has wadded her cheeks with cotton wool and now has to retch the fluff out from the back of her throat. That’ll account for the occasionally shonky tuning, too.
Dancing on My Own boasts a Morse code vocal refrain made entirely from glottal stops – it’s like listening to a gag reflex sing an SOS message. And she does it again on the next song, the Sean Kingston-y Birthday, throwing in a bleeped out f-word for good measure. We Just Go On suffers particularly badly from Pixie’s delivery, where she staggers across the line between ‘pained’ and ‘in pain’ with alarming regularity. Then again, if you haven’t got used
The notable exceptions are Nobody Does It Better, which boasts the same kind of beat-enhanced Philly soul as a mid-90s Eternal hit, and You Win, this album’s sophisticated show tune. Oh, and hats off to the producer who managed to make an actual Stevie Wonder harmonica solo happen (over which Pixie has the nerve to giggle) and then chose to give the song in which it appears the title Stevie on the Radio, a pun her non-indie fanbase will possibly miss.

BBC are so unprofessional. They dont even have the right tracklist on that review page 
Hopefully that promo can push it into the top 10

You're right about that. I mean, the top song sells no more than 300-400 copies at most in every 24 hours, depending on the time of day that you look at the statistics. According to ( http://digitalsalesdata.com/diydsd.php?Region=143449) which shows the past 24 hours of sales, it's evident that artists aren't selling big numbers in Ireland anyway. The UK has a much larger audience, and that's where it really counts. At this point now, Pixie has only sold 14 copies of WDYTMF and it's already at #58. See what I mean?

She's only sold 14 copies?
It's always good to see where they're at though, and you can't forget how small Ireland is. A lot smaller than the UK.

The second album from Victoria "Pixie" Lott features improbable collaborations with
John Legend and Stevie Wonder,
who plays harmonica on the track Stevie on the Radio. What Mr Wonder makes of the 20-year-old's throwaway pop music is anyone's guess - but there are signs of improvement here. From the funky opener Come Get it Now to the piano-led You Win, Lott opts for a more soulful direction this time around, something that works better with her wind tunnel of a vocal. She's still guilty of imitation rather than innovation, however, particularly on the synth-heavy All about Tonight, which is a craven rip-off of a Katy Perry record. But an identity is the only thing that's lacking here.

All About Tonight sounding like a Katy song

How does All About Tonight even sound remotely like Katy? Of course, people will just compare any two pop stars regardless of major differences.

Pixie and Katy will always be compared.. and Pixie loves Katy but she defo doesn't copy her.
And Katy's fans are called the 'Katycats' and Pixie's are the 'Crazycats'.
