Leona Lewis este prima cantareata britanica ce resueste sa ajunga pe primul loc in Topul pop US, dupa mai bine de 20 de ani, informeaza BBC. Piesa care i-a adus acest succes este `Bleeding Love`.

Melodia a fost anul trecut cel mai bine vandut single in UK, iar in Statele Unite a fost lansata in urma cu sase saptamani.

Ultima britanica ce a reusit sa ajunga pe locul intai in Billboard Hot 100, inainte de Leona Lewis , a fost Kim Wilde , care a atins aceasta performanta in 1987 cu un cover dupa hitul You `Keep Me Hangin' On` al trioului Supremes.
