Leona's Album Beating Spice Girls
Leona Lewis is outselling the Spice Girls by four to one on the first day of their album chart battle - and challenging for the fastest-selling UK debut of all time.
Copies of her album, Spirit, are flying off the shelves across the UK. The X Factor winner is on course to sell around 100,000 copies by Monday's end, according to industry estimates.
The Spice Girls are managing just a quarter of that figure with their Greatest Hits.
At HMV stores, Lewis is outselling the rest of the top 10 combined. If sales continue at this rate, she is on target to shift around 350,000 copies by the end of the week. That will put her within touching distance of the record for a UK debut.
