Lewis set to smash Arctic Monkeys' record

LONDON (Reuters) - "X Factor" winner Leona Lewis is on course
to break the record for Britain's fastest-selling debut album,
retailer HMV said on Tuesday.

The 22-year-old singer's album "Spirit" had already sold more
than 130,000 copies by Monday night and could top 400,000 sales
by the weekend, it said.

That would put Lewis ahead of Sheffield indie band Arctic
Monkeys, who sold 363,735 copies of "Whatever People Say I Am,
That's What I'm Not" in its first week of release in January
2006.

"Leona's success ... is absolutely remarkable," said HMV
spokesman Gennaro Castaldo.

"Aside from breaking the Arctics' record for the fastest-selling
debut album, Leona is already looking a safe bet for the Christmas
number one, and is very likely to bank more than a million sales
before the end of the year."

Lewis, from Hackney in east London, has become used to breaking
sales records after winning ITV's "X Factor" talent show last
year.

On Sunday she snatched the crown for the best-selling single
of the year, as "Bleeding Love" chalked up total sales of 490,000.

Last month the track smashed the 2007 record for the most
singles sold in a first week of release, with sales of 218,000.

Her debut single, "A Moment Like This", broke records when it
was downloaded 50,000 times in the first half hour on release
last December and sold 600,000 copies in its first week.
