NewsLeona Lewis releases fastest selling singleLeona Lewis' new single 'Bleeding Love' has become the fastest selling record in the UK this year. 'The X Factor' winner - who broke records with her debut single 'A Moment Like This' after she won the ITV reality show last year - is already outselling her biggest chart rivals Take That by two-to-one. More than 3,000 people snapped up 'Bleeding Love' in the first hour after it had been released on Monday (22.10.07). Record store HMV spokesperson Gennaro Castaldo said: "It's turning out to be a massive week for singles sales. 'Bleeding Love' is outselling Take That's 'Rule The World' by two-to-one and the rest of the top ten combined, and is on course to top 200,000 sales by the end of the week if stores can keep it in stock - it's without doubt the fastest-selling single of the year." The 'Bleeding Love' video - which shows stunning Leona in curve-hugging Dolce and Gabanna dresses - is attracting an average of 150 views a minute worldwide on video sharing website YouTube. The promo also received three million views online in the first 24 hours it was available. If Leona is still number one when the top 10 selling singles in the UK are announced on Sunday (28.10.07), she will become the first 'The X Factor' winner to reach the top spot with a second single. Phil Spector trial: Day 23 The judge in the Phil Spector murder trial ruled today (June 14) that Sara Caplan, the producer's former lawyer, could be held in contempt of court if she refuses to testify about whether she saw a defence expert mishandle potential evidence. Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Larry Paul Fidler apparently felt remorse about his decision, but said he had no choice but to rule the way he did. "I see no reason why Miss Caplan should not testify. There is no other person who can testify to what she saw," he said. Fidler said it was the first time in his 25 years on the bench that he had to threaten an attorney with contempt. "I admire her for taking the stance she is taking; I don't agree with it," he said, adding "nobody has any personal animus against Miss Caplan." Caplan was on the defence team that searched Spector's Los Angeles mansion the day after actress Lana Clarkson was found shot in the mouth on February 3, 2003. In an evidentiary hearing, Caplan testified that she saw forensic scientist, Henry Lee, pick up small white object that may have been one of Clarkson's acrylic fingernails. The prosecution maintains that this information could support their case. However, Caplan has refused to take the stand in open court because it may violate attorney-client privilege. Caplan could face criminal penalties as a result of the ruling, but she has until June 22 to appeal the decision to a higher court, reports the Los Angeles Times. Spector is accused of murdering Clarkson, but the defence contends she shot herself. |
