Leona's Top Of The Pops

Crikey, is there no stopping the girl?
Leona Lewis has stormed the US charts once more.
Hot on the heels of her Bleeding Love single sensation...
Leona's continuing her meteoric rise to fame.
She's shot straight to the top once more, with her debut album, Spirit, landing the number one spot on the US album chart, after selling 205,000 copies in the past week alone.
That makes her the first British woman ever to have had an album debut at number one.
But by now breaking records is second nature to Leona - just three weeks ago the 23-year-old north Londoner celebrated as her single Bleeding Love hit number one on the Billboard's Hot 100 singles chart in America.
She was the first British female solo artist to get there in 21 years.
Who could believe a mere X Factor winner could come so far?
Leona's mentor, Simon Cowell, who has played a central role in marketing her talent in the States, called the achievement "simply incredible".
He added: "This is the hardest market to crack and for her debut album to go in at number one is unbelievable."
So what's next for Leona - world domination perchance?
