Excerpt from article

Paul Potts is storming to the top of the charts with his debut album, One Chance, which was only released on Monday but is already outselling the rest of the top ten LPs together.



Gennaro Contaldo of record shop chain HMV said: "He is well on course to sell over 100,000 copies this week.

v
"Traditionally this type of album would be released around Mother's Day or Christmas aimed at the gift market, but Paul has obviously built up a big enough following from TV without that kind of marketing.

Paul Potts supposedly opened a blog account at http://paulpotts.welshblogs.co.uk/. He posted his first entry on July 11, 2007. Then he added two more entries on 12th and 13th.



I was very excited about this, but I also had a doubt.

Paul Potts CD will be released July 30, 2007.
This is something I expected
It seemed normal to me.

How can one produce massive amount of CDs in one month?
I didn't see that happening.

2 months is still too fast.
I totally understand that there is a delay

Go Simon Go~~!!

I love the fact that he didn't buy some of the expensive domain name from domain squatters.

I hope this will clear the air once and for all. There are many fake official websites out there.

I submitted a comment to his blog. There must be thousands of commends to be screened.

** Thank you, Lily, for this information **



Paul Potts concert schedule is out.

Since this information will not last long, I had to copy & paste information below.

This is what happened with the price on Paul Potts debut CD, 'One Chance'. (below is purely my guess).

First, nobody really didn't know how how much the CD was going to cost. Amazon had no idea if Paul Potts will sign US distribution deal or not. But online companies had to compete and take pre-orders.

So, they started to take pre-orders at price as high as $48.50. AND they promised to give us lower price if the price came down.

CD price went down to about $30.00.

Then Paul Potts signed an international deal, including the US, on July 5. That's when Amazon lowered their price way down to $16.98.

Now I no longer recommend the fans to "wait until the price drops". Still, I believe you can pick up CDs at BestBuy or Wal*mart at $10.00 each. You may have to wait a few weeks.

Remember, buying CD at sales price doesn't make you a bad fan.
At the same time, it's worth of paying double get the CD sooner.

Just buy the CD (now or later)
We must show the strength as fans.
Keep Paul Potts engine running~!!

Finally.
Paul Potts' album cover is out.
Just like I imagined, it's the picture of him in extreme angle.
NOT smiling. he he...
