'Unwritten' In The Stars

Wed, 13 Sep 2006 22:40:01 GMT

After a consecutive run of 18 weeks for "Bad Day" (Warner Bros.), Daniel Powter abdicates his Adult Contemporary chart throne to a new leader: Natasha Bedingfield, who claims her first AC No. 1 with "Unwritten" (Epic).

It's been a six-month journey for "Unwritten," Bedingfield's first song to appear on the AC tally. The single debuted the week of March 18 and first made the top five the week of May 27. "Unwritten" slipped to No. 6 but then returned to the top five the week of June 17 and has been there ever since, spending the last eight weeks in the runner-up spot before claiming pole position.

"Unwritten" is the fourth new No. 1 of 2006, and the first by a female artist. Before "Bad Day," the other two songs that advanced to No. 1 in 2006 were "You and Me" by Lighthouse and "You're Beautiful" by James Blunt.

Bedingfield is the first female artist to lead the AC list since Kimberley Locke had a four-week reign with "Up on the Housetop." That holiday song moved into the penthouse the week of Dec. 17, 2005.

Bedingfield is the first British female to dominate the AC chart since Dido spent four non-consecutive weeks on top with "Thank You" between June and September of 2001.

Powter is not the only Daniel who figures into this chart feat. Natasha's brother, Daniel Bedingfield, also had one AC chart entry. "If You're Not the One" peaked at No. 3 the week of June 14, 2003.

The Bedingfield Kids

Thu, 22 Jun 2006 04:45:20 GMT

Wonder what dinner is like when all the Bedingfields sit down together? If the conversation turns to how the children are doing at work, it's Natasha's turn to brag. Her third chart entry on the Hot 100, "Single" (Epic), debuts at No. 72.

That pushes her past brother Daniel, who has two chart entries to date with "Gotta Get Thru This" (No. 10 in September 2002) and "If You're Not the One" (No. 15 in May 2003).

Like Daniel, Natasha has one top 10 hit to date, "Unwritten" (No. 5 in April). She also has two non-top 10 hits, including "These Words" (No. 17 in August 2005).

New Album And Single Information

Tue, 13 Jun 2006 00:15:06 GMT

She may have become a download millionaire in the U.S., but the world's biggest music market will be made to wait for the next Natasha Bedingfield album.

As recording for the follow-up to her 2.3m-selling debut Unwritten reaches the midway point, her label Phonogenic is plotting a release strategy which will see her new album appearing in the UK on September 25, but not until 2007 internationally.

For the U.S., where the title track of her first album is five-times platinum after reaching its one-millionth paid-for download last month, it follows a similar pattern to her debut, which came out in the UK in September 2004, but was only made available in the States the following August. The tactic clearly worked, with only James Blunt this year overshadowing Bedingfield as the UK success story in the U.S. this year.

In delaying the second album's Stateside release, label co-founder Paul Lisberg says it remains relatively early days for Bedingfield in the U.S., where Epic is just starting to work third single, Single. "Unwritten has only just peaked at radio there," says Lisberg. "Our priority will be the UK."

Bedingfield will join X-Factor finalist Michelle Lawson as the two big quarter four priorities for Phonogenic, which was formed in 2003 by Lisberg and Tops Henderson, with songwriters Steve Kipner and Andrew Frampton. "Domestically, 2005 was a year of development for us and quite focused on Natasha's record internationally, so it's going to be good to get moving on these releases," says Lisberg.

RCA was last week unveiling a selection of tracks from the new Bedingfield album to long-lead publications, including first single I Want to Have Your Babies, which will go to radio in early August and receive a full commercial release on September 4. "You can really see Natasha's growth on this record," says Lisberg. "She was always, potentially, a very special artist, but she's almost unrecognisable in the sense of how far she's come as both a performer and writer."

Bedingfield has collaborated on a number of tracks with the songwriting trio of Steve Kipner, Andrew Frampton, and Wayne Wilkins, who, together, wrote more than half of her debut. Additional credits go to Greg Kurstin, musical director for Beck, Gwen Stefani, and co-writer on new songs for both Lily Allen and All Saints; Rich Harrison, the name behind Beyonce's Crazy In Love and Amerie's 1 Thing; David Arnold; and the songwriting duo of Danielle Brisebois and Wayne Rodrigues, who wrote the title track of her debut.

New Message From Natasha

Sat, 03 Jun 2006 22:15:53 GMT

Hello Hello Blighty

Just want to put any worries to rest.... I have not disappeared into the great US of A for eternity. It's been over 8 months but I wanna let ya'll know that I'm currently planning my return in two months with English accent intact and a new album on the way and a greatly increased appetite for all things British (Tetley's and PG tips, crumpets, proper bacon, scones, etc).

I am itching to show you the new material... but not before it's ready. I'm in a flurry of writing and production right now getting it all so I'm happy with it. When I titled the first album Unwritten it was because I felt there was so much more to come. And from what I've been working on I can assure you that it's definitely true.

Love to you all and sorry I've been away for so long. In the cheesy but appropriate words of Arnie Schwarzenegger, governor of California, "I'LL BE BACK!"

XXXXXXXXXXXX
