Who is Leona Lewis

"A Moment like This" was released on CD on 20 December 2006, and was available as a digital download from 17 December. It broke a world record after it was downloaded fifty-thousand times in thirty minutes.

On 24 December, the song was crowned the 2006 UK Christmas Number One single, having sold 571,253 copies. It was reported that one chain was "shifting more than 100 of her CDs a minute".

The single became the biggest-downloaded song in 2006 and stayed at Number One for four weeks, and also stayed at the top spot in the Irish Singles Chart for six weeks. It went on to sell in the region of 1,000,000 copies.

This song was released in March 2008 as Lewis's third UK single and as the official song of the charity Sport Relief for 2008, with proceeds going to the charity.

"Footprints in the Sand" is an adaptation of the Christian poem "Footprints", and Simon Cowell came up with the idea to base a song around the poem, and Lewis agreed.

Lewis describes the song as "very moving, with a very emotional lyric" as it is about "standing by someone and being there for people who need your help."

This is Lewis' second single, "Bleeding Love" which was released on 22 October 2007 in the UK. The single sold 66,000 copies on its first day of release and went on to sell 218,805 copies in its first week, giving it the biggest first-week sales of 2007.

It entered the UK Singles Chart at number one, where it stayed for seven weeks. On 16 December 2007, "Bleeding Love" won The Record of the Year 2007 award.

In February 2008, Lewis broke the major American charts as the song entered the Billboard Hot 100 at number 85. It eventually peaked at No.1, Lewis thus becoming the first UK female to hit Number One since Kim Wilde, who achieved this feat in the 1980's. Lewis now joins Petula Clark, Lulu, Sheena Easton and Kim Wilde as the only other British women to get a Number One hit in America.
