Alexandra Burke signs £3m record deal
According to reports Alexandra Burke has signed a £3million five-album record deal with Epic which is an arm of Sony. The deal will see her launched in America by the same team behind the international success of Beyoncé and Rihanna. X-factor judge Simon Cowell who managed Leona Lewis's US launch, helping her become the first British woman in 20 years to top the Billboard chart with her song Bleeding Lovewill also be involved in the deal.
The deal follows a record-breaking start to Burke's singing career. Her version of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah became the fastest-selling single ever by a female artist and remained at No 1 for three weeks in the UK charts. These day’s record deals of the size are few and far between, so well done Alex, ‘Your Hustling Ard’!
