When Kiss With a Fist came out I remember no one had heard of her, Dog Days didn't make a huge impact the first time round either. It wasn't until Rabbit Heart came out that she actually had a hit. She's quite 'out there' but I think she could do well there, I think there will be some Americans who 'get' it.

I heard of her in November 2008, she had a lot of hype surrounding her for those who were interested. I know her first few releases didn't do well, but that's because she wasn't a mainstream act at the time. Rabbit Heart was her first song to be picked up by radio, so because of that I tend to view it as her debut single, it was certainly her breakthrough single. Lungs debuted at number 2, it did well upon release. It's not like it underperformed, it was Michael Jackson who blocked her. The BRIT Awards hype is what propelled her to number 1. Everything did come together for her quite nicely in the UK, "You Got The Love" was a sleeper ht. It became huge after it was used in advertisements for Sky and Channel 4.
I wonder if "Teenage Dream" could manage to enter the Billboard top 10 this week...
