I don't, but since most are owned by Capital bar Radio 1, if you're Capital blacklisted/ignored, they all are ordered not to mention you. Radio 1 are just damn shady. They've always had issues with her, and it has nothing to do with XF, as they played Cheryl (A listed a lot), JLS (One shot was A listed (off the top of my head) and none of Alex's singles were), Olly is their best friend, 1D got airplay, Cher lloyd did too, Leona got some, Rebecca hasn't gotten any from them, but Radio 2 hammer her. I persnally think it's because she's a black female doing pop. Notice how many do pop and pop alone. 0. They simply do not like it. Kelly Rowland gets some airplay from them with pop, but it is inconsistent.

I still find it so damn awful that radio has so many power, same here in my country though, it is so awful and the general public basically relies on it for a big part, if a song gets replayed 24/7 every hour, it easily becomes a hit, but without radio support, you are doomed

One Direction have been Capital blacklisted since the BRIT's in February. Is that why all of their singles since What Makes You Beautiful have flopped in the UK?

Oh no 1D are back on their lists now, and they've had no singles in the UK since One Thing. Gotta Be you was a hit #3 I think in November after the XF performance. I just think they were hyped really. Compared to JLS' success and sales, even back in 09, they are really lacking, considering the amount of exposure.

It is. People always say: 'if someone likes it, they'll buy it'...but how can you buy it if you don't know it exists?

On first listen I thought Heartbreak on Hold was O.K. However after letting it sit and play for longer I absolutely love this album and her voice. My fave tracks are Heartbreak on Hold, Let it Go, This Love Will Survive, Tonight, and Beating Still. Alexandra has done an excellent job with this album and she always gives her all to every lyric she sings.
The song 'Tonight' has so many interesting change-ups and a huge athem of a chorus that is so addictive and self-empowering. Beating Still is vocally sublime to my ears. I play most of my music on shuffle with hundreds of tunes lined up, and I hadn't heard this one since it downloaded and it stood out amongst the others. Alex should be very proud of her work on this record even if sales are disappointing the fans who love the album totally appreciate it.

This thread is deader than HOH  ^It had no hit and fell off like 3 weeks after the debut. She needs Between The Sheets out now. That is actually really good.
