Amazon.co.uk Classical Hot 100 Albums1. Odyssey ~Hayley Westenra - Our Price: £9.99 2. Cantamus ~The Cantamus Girls Choir - Our Price: £9.99 3. Aria - The Opera Album [SPECIAL EDITION] Andrea Bocelli - Our Price: £9.99 4. Best Days ~Amy Nuttall - Our Price: £9.99 5.

Hello Dave and Allen! Hayley's Christmas TV appearances were brilliant, and she certainly won many new fans during the festive season. Just imagine what would happen if Hayley's DVD was shown on prime-time TV! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gifWatching and hoping... Richard

I've been monitoring Hayley's daily rankings at Amazon.com (i.e. US Amazon) since the day Hayley arrived in the US for her Il Divo tour rehearsals. There was a nice steady but slow climb up the rankings - until today when things accelerated a bit. As Joe mentioned, repeat broadcasts of "Gotta Skate" were shown on Bravo! US on Friday evening and Saturday and I think we all know how well Hayley sang in that! Here are the rankings to date: Amazon.com rankings - taken at about 7pm EasternDate Odyssey Pure
30-Jan 1,375 1,794 (Rehearsals) 31-Jan 934 1,703 (Wallingford) 1-Feb 861 2,249 2-Feb 744 1,270 (Boston) 3-Feb 609 1,659 (Washington DC) 4-Feb 274 513 (Gotta Skate!!)

Shocking news from Amazon Canada tonight... Odyssey is at no. 31 Last three days: 206 1084 31 These jumps and drops are clearly associated with the first two 'Il Divo' Canadian concerts... but Canada Amazon is more volatile than US Amazon (where it's been slipping since the last concert there). But, I mean, no. 31? Even if only for a day... Wow!Dave

Ranked #31? That's very good news! In fact, it's ahead of Andrea Bocelli's new album!
Go Hayley!!

Hayley's albums and DVD have made a sudden jump up the Amazon.com chart since yesterday, I wonder if Hayley has been on US TV today, or perhaps some TV advertising? This seems to be too big a jump to have been caused by a single concert performance. It's good, though - the highest I've seen for both albums since the tour started and nearly the highest for the DVD Date Odyssey Pure DVD 16th 746 1490 4273 17th 204 353 2505
Rankings were noted at 7pm Eastern. Dave

I saw that she was on WGN radio this morning in Chicago. The station broadcasts over the airwaves and via the net, making its potential audience huge.
I really feel that Hayley would be an "overnight sensation" in America if she would only get on the radio. It's very hard to nowadays on merit alone. You need to bribe the station's owners and programmers. Payola, as it's called, is an open secret in the radio business.

Something "Hayley" has happened in Canada... I need to know what! Odyssey is up today from rank 439 to rank 43 and the DVD is up from 4364 to 1281 i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gifBy the way Pure (N. American edition) is difficult to find on Amazon Canada and the order delay is quoted as 9 to 14 days. Not surprisingly, it's currently down around 26,000 in the rankings and the imported versions are higher! Amazon.ca need a huge kick up the rear! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gifDave
