Nobody was happier than me when I found out that Delta Goodrem had finally released her two previous albums 'Innocent Eyes' and 'Mistaken Identity' to the American iTunes. These two albums, has recieved much attention for how great they are. These albums can now be bought here.
'Innocent Eyes' is now known as the "highest selling album in Australia of the decade." And the album has also recieved a high acheivement when it released 5 #1 singles from a debut album. And it has been the most successful album in 17 years. Hit singles such as 'Born to Try', 'Innocent Eyes', 'Lost Without You', 'Not Me Not I' and 'Predictable' helped this album shoot to fame. It reached #1 in Australia, and #2 in the UK and overall selling 3 million copies! That is a hard record to beat!
'Mistaken Identity' did very well also. It was written in the midst of her battle of cancer. Singles like 'Out of the Blue', 'Mistaken Identity' and 'Almost Here' sent the album to #1 as well. And the first two singles gave her a total of 7 #1 singles in a row. Hard to beat that as well.
So why haven't these amazing albums been released in the USA already? That was the first think I thought of when I became a fan of Delta's. And the plan was to release these in the USA a long time ago. In 2005, she released 'Lost Without You' and was received with moderate success. And the plan was to release a hybrid of these two albums, but all of those plans were put on hold and she didn't release anything in America until her return with her third album, 'Delta' in 2008.
My suspicion is that Delta and her team were wanting to release these albums in preperation for her upcoming forth album, 'Child of the Universe', due out in Australia late October. What I don't understand though is there has been no announcement by her team that this release has even been made. Would have helped the possibility of sales. But I don't know the logic to the madness.
Since the release, I have tweeted many people, and also put out a ad on Facebook, which appealed to 13,000 people to get people to buy the album. And I guess I could say that it helped. Both albums have outsold 'I'm Not Ready' which was a duet between Michael Bolton and Delta, and 'Fragile' from 'Mistaken Identity' has moved from #20 to #13 on Delta's page. Hoping more sales are to come.
I hope any readers that haven't heard of Delta or haven't listened to her music go and buy them now. I promise you that they are good, and I think her record for #1 albums and singles speak for themselves.
If you would like to help the cause and get more exposure for Delta, you can tweet this or post on Facebook:
"Don't forget that all Delta Goodrem albums are on USA iTunes! Buy them now! RETWEET! http://tinyurl.com/8lcfreo "
If anyone decides to purchase either album, please let me know so I know that they are being purchased and let me know how you enjoy them!
