"Bleeding Love"
Song
B-side"Forgiveness"

"Bleeding Love" is a pop rock-R&B ballad written by Ryan Tedder and Jesse McCartney[1] and produced by Tedder for Leona Lewis's debut album, Spirit,[2] on which it is the opening track. The song is the album's first single (Lewis's official second single following "A Moment like This") released in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland in October 2007.[3] The single was released digitally in December 2007 in the United States, and worldwide between December 2007 and March 2008 (see release history). "Bleeding Love" became the best selling single of 2007 in the UK,[4] and has so far reached number one in the singles and airplay charts in over twenty-seven countries, including most notably the United Kingdom, the Billboard Hot 100 and the United World Chart.

Promotion

The song's first radio play was on the BBC Radio 1 Chart Show on 16 September 2007,[3] and was quickly followed by an online exclusive streaming by celebrity blogger Perez Hilton.[5] It is reported that over 1.5 million people listened to the song online.[6] The song was also Scott Mills' record of the week from Monday 24 September to Friday 28 September.[7]

Lewis went on a two-day regional UK radio tour to promote the single and album on 11 and 12 October 2007.[8] This was followed by an appearance on This Morning on 15 October. Lewis performed the song live on the fourth series of The X Factor on 20 October 2007,[9] and also made appearances on several other TV and radio shows such as T4, GMTV and Loose Women.

Lewis also performed the song at the Festival della canzone italiana on 29 February 2008, and on German entertainment show Wetten, dass..? on 1 March 2008.[10]

Lewis made her US television debut on The Oprah Winfrey Show, on 17 March 2008.[11] where she performed Bleeding Love. Lewis will perform the song live on the seventh series of American Idol.[12] She is also due to sing on Good Morning America on 4 April 2008, Live With Regis And Kelly on 8 april 2008 as well as Jimmy Kimmel Live and The Ellen DeGeneres Show on 11 april 2008.

"Bleeding Love" had its first radio play in the United States on Ryan Seacrest's KIIS-FM show, On Air with Ryan Seacrest.[13]

Music videos

There are two music videos for "Bleeding Love". The first was directed by Melina and was filmed in Los Angeles.[14][15] It is set in an apartment block and features six storylines about couples in different stages of relationships: "The video is extremely emotional and shows everything from first love and unbridled passion to heartbreak, loss and anger."[16] Lewis stated that it is "real colourful, very funky, has lots of extras and I get to really perform."[14] Melina explained her meaning of the video in an interview on MTV's Making the Video, saying that the water in the video is a metaphor for the tenants' love problems, as if the apartments are bleeding love.

For the video, Lewis wore a £100,000 Dolce & Gabbana crystal-encrusted dress, which weighed 40 pounds (18 kg),[15][17] and reportedly had an entourage of 150 people on set, including five stylists flown out from the UK.[18] The same dress was later worn by Victoria Beckham in the video for the Spice Girls charity single "Headlines (Friendship Never Ends)".[19]

The video first aired on 17 October 2007,[20] and was uploaded to popular video-sharing website YouTube the same day.

Lewis filmed a second video in New York City for the US release of "Bleeding Love". The treatment for the video was written by Ryan Tedder[21] and it was directed by Jesse Terrero.[22] The video premiered in the United States on 29 January 2008 on Yahoo! Music.[23] It was uploaded to YouTube on 30 January 2008. Its television debut was on 4 February 2008 on VH1 as part of their "You Oughta Know" campaign.[24]. The music video has peaked at #1 in US iTunes sales. [citation needed]

Reception

Critical reception

Critical reaction to the song was mostly positive, with entertainment website Showbiz Spy describing it as "emotionally fuelled", saying, "this track perfectly showcases Leona's impressive vocal prowess and from the moment she opens her mouth we are instantly reminded about her amazing voice, capable of heart stopping intensity and a playful light touch."[25] Digital Spy's review of the song gave it four stars out of five, saying it is "easily the best single to be released by an X Factor star," and describing it as "a brilliantly smart pop record, managing to offer the lovelorn balladry that Lewis' X Factor fans are no doubt craving, while also suggesting a hint of street cred in the form of some beefy, vaguely modish beats."[26] It came second in Digital Spy's Top 20 Singles of 2007 announced on 31 December.[27]

However, BBC America's reviewer expressed that "the inventive percussion can't stop "Bleeding Love" from sounding dated, like filler on some long-lost, late '90s Mariah Carey album. It's one of those mid-tempo numbers — too slow for the club, too fast for the foxtrot. Actually, with its marching band drum beat, it sounds as much like Gwen Stefani's "Hollaback Girl" as a ballad can." The critic continues to say, "On to the positive: Lewis wisely restrains her vocals, never devolving into those vocal acrobatics that have historically plagued Christina Aguilera."[28]

Billboard's review of "Bleeding Love", the first ahead of the song's release in the United States, stated it was "a colossal and timeless debut", going on to say "not only a one-listen harmonic show-stopper, it is also hip, soulful, beat-rippling and an undeniable vocal tour de force."[29]

Awards

In December 2007, "Bleeding Love" won The Record of the Year[30] and the award for Best Track in the Virgin Media Music Awards 2007.[31]

In January 2008, the song was nominated for the British Single award at the 2008 BRIT Awards.[32] Although the award was won by Take That's "Shine", it was announced that "Bleeding Love" had received the second highest number of public votes.

Sales and chart performance

"Bleeding Love" was released in the United Kingdom in physical format on 22 October 2007, when it sold over 66,000 copies,[33] and topped the UK iTunes Store chart.[34] It was reported to be outselling Take That's "Rule the World" by three-to-one in chain store Woolworths,[35] and Britney Spears' "Gimme More" by ten-to-one.[34] "Bleeding Love" had sold over 126,000 copies by the end of Thursday 25 October,[36] and over 150,000 copies by the end of Friday 26 October.[37] It went on to sell 218,805 copies in its first week, gaining the biggest one-week sales in 2007, a feat it maintained until "When You Believe" by Leon Jackson was released in December 2007, and outselling the rest of the top five singles combined.[38][39] It had sold around 107,000 downloads and 112,000 CD singles.[40] It entered the UK Singles Chart on 28 October 2007 at number one.[39][41]

In its second and third weeks on sale the single sold 158,370 copies,[42] and 111,978 copies respectively, bringing the total sales to 489,153 and making "Bleeding Love" the biggest selling single of 2007 after just three weeks of release.[43] It stayed at the top of the UK Singles Chart for a total of seven weeks, and in the top three for a further four weeks.[41] With "Bleeding Love" reaching number one, Lewis became the first contestant from The X Factor to achieve two UK number-one singles.[44] Its seven week run at number one was also the longest by a single from a UK female solo artist in chart history. At the end of 2007 the single had sold a total of 788,000 copies and was the biggest selling single of the year. It was the first time a single by a UK female solo artist had topped the end of year singles sales chart in the 55 year history of the official charts.[4] "Bleeding Love" was certified gold by the British Phonographic Industry on 9 November 2007,[45] and platinum on 18 January 2008.[46] Currently, it has stayed in the Top 75 for twenty weeks, nineteen of those in the Top 40.[41]

In Australia it debuted at number nine on the ARIA Charts on 24 December 2007. Four weeks later, it knocked OneRepublic's "Apologize" off the number one position on the Digital Track chart. On 21 January 2008, Lewis became the first artist to come from a British reality music talent show to top the Australian charts, and the first British act to reach number one on the ARIA Singles Chart since Sandi Thom's "I Wish I Was a Punk Rocker (With Flowers in My Hair)" in early 2007. On 10 February 2008, the single received a platinum certification, with sales of over 70,000.[47]

The single debuted at number one in the Irish Singles Chart, where it remained for eight weeks.[41][48] It also debuted at number one in Austria and Germany, staying there for four weeks in Germany and six so far in Austria.[41] In the New Zealand charts, it topped the chart for five weeks,[41] and also reached number one in Poland,[49] Switzerland, Norway, Belgium, the Netherlands and Bulgaria.[41]

"Bleeding Love" also entered both the UK Official Download Chart and the Irish Downloads Chart at number one.[50][51] The B-side, "Forgiveness", reached number 46 in the UK Singles Chart, and 39 in the Irish Singles Chart, due to download sales.[52]

In the United World Chart, the song entered at number 11 on 10 November 2007 with 176,000 points, being named "Hot Shot Debut" of the week.[53]. The second week it dropped to number 15 with 137,000 points[54] and in the third week it was at number 20 with 122,000 points.[55] It then moved out of the top 20, gaining 113,000 points at number 22[56] and 101,000 points at number 24.[57] Its decline continued the next week, with a chart position of 30 and 85,000 points.[58] In the seventh and eighth weeks on the chart, it climbed to numbers 21 and 18, receiving 102,000 and 116,000 points respectively.[59][60] In the first chart of 2008, it had climbed back to its entry position of 11, with 143,000 points and being named the "Largest Points Increase" for that week.[61] It then got 158,000 points and dropped back down to 15[62] and the following week climbed to 12 with 151,000 points.[63] The next week, on 26 January, it achieved its highest chart position to date, number 9 with 148,000 points.[64] The following week it climbed again to number 5 with 196,000 points, the largest points increase for that week.[65] The following week the single climbed to number 4 with 210,000 points, and the next week, "Bleeding Love" achieved 236,000 points, surpassing the 2 million points mark, retaining its position at number 4 in the United World Chart, with the largest points increase for that week, and earning platinum status.[66] The song overtook "Don't Stop the Music" by Rihanna to become the #1 single on the chart.

In the United States, the single's digital release on 18 December 2007 led to nearly 6,000 legal downloads of the song.[67] As the song was added to song rotations throughout the US, increased digital sales of the single led to the song's debut on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart at number 11 on the charting week of 16 February 2008.[68] The subsequent two weeks pushed the song up the charts, officially debuting on the Billboard Hot 100 on the charting week of 1 March 2008 at number 85.[41] The song has become Lewis' first U.S. top ten hit, currently at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100,[41] #1 on the Billboard Pop 100[69] and #1 on the Hot Digital Songs[70][71] This makes Lewis only the third female artist from the U.K. to ever have a number one hit on the Hot 100 with her first single, following Petula Clark with "Downtown" in 1965 and Sheena Easton with "Morning Train (Nine to Five)" in 1981. [72] In addition it is also the first U.S. number one song (debut or not) by a solo British female since Kim Wilde more then 20 years prior.[73] The song had sold a total of 537,061 digital downloads.[citation needed] It also jumped to number-one in Canada in the same week.
