Leona Lewis' new EP is out next week: She will also be performing at the X Factor final next week, so it should give the EP a nice sales bump! So far, all we know that is on it is 3 covers: Goo Goo Dolls - Iris Johnny Cash - Hurt Counting Crows - Colorblind

Hopefully this performs well chart-wise, but the final is going to be rammed full of guests anyway.

How will this chart if it's an ep, aren't they chart ineligible? So will the 3 tracks chart separately, or is Iris the lead track?

I'm assuming Hurt is the lead track since it's on the single cover, and Iris has been overdone already. I'm sure whichever songs she performs will chart as a standalone track. But I thought EP's could chart aswell.

Oops, didn't look at what was written on the cover. EP downloads count towards the lead track, but only if you buy them as a bundle, if someone downloads Iris or Colorblind, that counts towards its sales and chart position.

I'm not sure how it works, but I remember last year that Bruno Mars released an EP that charted at around #100 and it was the EP that charted (It's Better If You Don't Understand EP it was called or something).

Really curious to hear this. I feel like Iris will be on the same level of Stop Crying Your Heart Out - a bit cringe-inducing, but a serviceable cover nevertheless.
I'm just keen to hear Glassheart now. Given how long she's been working on it, it better be amazing!

Fascinated to hear the songs, but the EP cover looks so cheap - looks like an unofficial one knocked up by somebody for a torrent.

Personally I'd prefer her to leave classics alone and not blandify them or alternatively wail over them inappropiately!

3 covers?! Bloody hell Syco!
A 5 track EP with a few new tracks would've been much better.

listening now!!! the 3 songs sound very good, very much in the same vein as Run
my fav is Colorblind but maybe cos I love the original so much... it's also the one done in a more subtle (better) way... I like Hurt too, starts slow and then builds up... Iris has a bit of a weird tempo but again I rather listen to Leona's than the original Goo Goo Dolls..
