LEONA LEWIS - LEONA AND TAKE THAT IN CHART CLASH

LEONA AND TAKE THAT IN CHART CLASH

LEONA LEWIS and TAKE THAT will go head on in the chart battle next week with their new singles released on the same day.

The X-Factor winner's come back single Bleeding Love will hit the shops next Monday (October 22nd) on the same day as the boy's Rule The World which has been written for the new movie starring MICHELLE PFEIFFER, Stardust.

According to SIMON COWELL, one of the judges on the hit show, he thought it was important not to rush 22-year-old Leona's music into the charts.

"We are never going to get another Leona, and GARY BARLOW'S words ring in my ears. They were, 'You have a responsibility'," he told the Times.

"And I take that responsibility very seriously. We could have rushed out a record in three months. It would have probably done a million. But you cannot make an incredible record with original material in less than a year."

Take That kicked off their Beautiful World tour in Belfast on October 11th.
