Distributor: BMG (distributor) Notes: British popster Leona Lewis became a superstar in the U.K. after winning on the TV program X Factor, releasing the chart-ruling hit single "Bleeding Love," and following up with a full-length debut that broke British sales records. That album, SPIRIT, hit America in the spring of 2008. The album is full of bubbly pop and R&B that might elicit comparisons with the music of Mariah Carey or Alicia Keys. Lewis received no shortage of help from industry heavy-hitters, including OneRepublic frontman Ryan Tedder (who co-wrote "Bleeding Love"), as well as songwriters Akon, Ne-Yo, Josh Alexander, Stargate, and others. The result is a full dose of radio-ready pop bliss that's sure to spark the interest of America's pop and R&B fans.
Winner of the third season of THE X FACTOR, England's leading reality-TV talent show, R&B/pop singer Leona Lewis quickly rose to international stardom with the release of her 2007 debut, SPIRIT. With its accessible, Mariah Carey/Whitney Houston-like sound, the album topped the charts in both the U.K. and the U.S., a rare feat, particularly for such a young artist. Lewis's catchy single, "Bleeding Love," written by Ryan Tedder (OneRepublic) and Jesse McCartney, also reached the Number One spot on the charts of every major country on the globe, cementing her status as a true pop phenomenon.
