The European music video for "Bleeding Love" was shot in an apartment block built in a Los Angeles studio and was directed by Melina.[7][8] The video (set in the apartment block) features six storylines about couples in different stages of relationships: "The video is extremely emotional and shows everything from first love and unbridled passion to heartbreak, loss and anger."[9] Lewis stated that it is "real colourful, very funky, has lots of extras and I get to really perform."[7] Melina explained her meaning of the video in an interview on MTV's Making the Video, saying that she didn't want Lewis or any of the extras to actually bleed, so the water in the video is a metaphor for the tenants' love problems, as if the apartments are bleeding love.

For the video, Lewis wore a £100,000 Dolce & Gabbana crystal-encrusted dress, which weighed forty pounds,[8][10] and reportedly had an entourage of 150 people on set, including five stylists flown out from the UK.[11]

The video first aired on 17 October 2007,[12] and was uploaded to popular video-sharing website YouTube the same day. After two weeks, the video had been viewed over 3 million times, and as of 22 January 2008 it has been viewed over 18 million times.[13] It is currently the 53rd most viewed video of all time on YouTube.[13]

Lewis has filmed an alternative video in New York City for the US release of "Bleeding Love". The treatment for the video was written by Ryan Tedder[14] and it was directed by Jesse Terrero.[15]

Promotion

The song's first radio play was on the BBC Radio 1 Chart Show on 16 September 2007,[3] and was quickly followed by an online exclusive streaming by celebrity blogger Perez Hilton.[16] It is reported that over 1.5 million people listened to the song online.[17] The song was also Scott Mills' record of the week from Monday 24 September to Friday 28 September.[18]

Lewis went on a two-day regional radio tour to promote the single and album on 11 and 12 October.[19] This was followed by an appearance on This Morning on 15 October. Lewis performed the song live on the fourth series of The X Factor on 20 October 2007,[20] and also made appearances on several other TV and radio shows such as T4, GMTV and Loose Women.

"Bleeding Love" had its first radio play in the United States on Ryan Seacrest's KIIS-FM show.[21]

"Bleeding Love" Video started airing on MTVAsia "Spankin New" at December 27.

Reception

The first critical review of "Bleeding Love" described it as "emotionally fuelled", saying, "this track perfectly showcases Leona's impressive vocal prowess and from the moment she opens her mouth we are instantly reminded about her amazing voice, capable of heart stopping intensity and a playful light touch."[22] Contrastingly, another critic expressed that "the inventive percussion can't stop "Bleeding Love" from sounding dated, like filler on some long-lost, late '90s Mariah Carey album. It's one of those mid-tempo numbers — too slow for the club, too fast for the foxtrot. Actually, with its marching band drum beat, it sounds as much like Gwen Stefani's "Hollaback Girl" as a ballad can." The critic continues to say, "On to the positive: Lewis wisely restrains her vocals, never devolving into those vocal acrobatics that have historically plagued Christina Aguilera."[23]

Digital Spy's review of the song gave it four stars out of five, saying it is "easily the best single to be released by an X Factor star," and describing it as "a brilliantly smart pop record, managing to offer the lovelorn balladry that Lewis' X Factor fans are no doubt craving, while also suggesting a hint of street cred in the form of some beefy, vaguely modish beats."[24] It came second in Digital Spy's Top 20 Singles of 2007 announced on 31 December.[25]

Billboard's review of "Bleeding Love", the first ahead of the song's release in the United States, stated it was "a colossal and timeless debut", going on to say "not only a one-listen harmonic show-stopper, it is also hip, soulful, beat-rippling and an undeniable vocal tour de force."[26]

Sales and chart performance

On its first day of sales in the UK, "Bleeding Love" sold over 66,000 copies.[32] It was reported to be outselling Take That's "Rule the World" by three-to-one in chain store Woolworths,[33] and Britney Spears' "Gimme More" by ten-to-one.[34] On its first day of release, it topped the iTunes Store charts in the UK and Ireland.[34] "Bleeding Love" had sold over 126,000 copies by the end of Thursday 25 October,[35] and over 150,000 copies by the end of Friday 26 October.[36] It went on to sell 218,805 copies in its first week, gaining the biggest one-week sales in 2007 (until "When You Believe" by Leon Jackson beat this in December 2007) and outselling the rest of the top five combined.[37][38] It had sold around 107,000 downloads and 112,000 CD singles.[39] It entered the UK Singles Chart on 28 October 2007 at number one.[38][40]

In its second and third weeks on sale the single sold 158,370 copies,[41] and 111,978 copies respectively, bringing the total sales to 489,153 and making "Bleeding Love" the biggest selling single of 2007 after just three weeks of release.[42] It stayed at the top of the UK Singles Chart for a total of seven weeks, and in the top three for a futher four weeks.[40] With "Bleeding Love" reaching number one, Lewis became the first contestant from The X Factor to achieve two UK number-one singles. Its seven week run at number one was also the longest by a single from a UK female solo artist in chart history. At the end of 2007 the single had sold a total of 788,000 copies and was the biggest selling single of the year. It was the first time a single by a UK female solo artist had topped the end of year singles sales chart in the 55 year history of the official charts.[4] "Bleeding Love" was certified gold by the British Phonographic Industry on 9 November 2007.[43]

In Australia it debuted at number nine on the ARIA Charts, the next week it moved up to seven, the following week it was number three and earned a bullet for moving up four places inside the top ten. The following week it moved up to number two very closely behind Timbaland and OneRepublic's "Apologize". That week it knocked "Apologize" off the number one position on the Digital Track chart where it had been for the past nine weeks and it moved up from seven to two on the physical single chart. On 21 January 2008, Lewis became the first artist to come from a British reality music talent show to top the Australian charts, and the first British act to reach number one on the ARIA Singles Chart since Sandi Thom's "I Wish I Was a Punk Rocker (With Flowers in My Hair)".

The single also spent eight weeks at number one in the Irish Singles Chart.[40][44] It debuted at number nine in the New Zealand charts, eventually climbing to number one.[40] It also reached number one in Croatia,[45] Slovenia,[46] Luxembourg,[47] Hungary,[48] Estonia,[49] Latvia,[50] Austria[51] and Germany.[52]

"Bleeding Love" also entered both the UK Official Download Chart and the Irish Downloads Chart at number one.[53][54] The B-side, "Forgiveness", also reached number 46 in the UK Singles Chart, and 39 in the Irish Singles Chart, due to download sales.[55]

In the United World Chart, the song entered at number 11 on 10 November 2007 with 176,000 points, being named "Hot Shot Debut" of the week.[56]. The second week it dropped to number 15 with 137,000 points[57] and in the third week it was at number 20 with 122,000 points.[58] It then moved out of the top 20, gaining 113,000 points at number 22[59] and 101,000 points at number 24.[60] Its decline continued the next week, with a chart position of 30 and 85,000 points.[61] In the seventh and eighth weeks on the chart, it climbed to numbers 21 and 18, receiving 102,000 and 116,000 points respectively.[62][63] In the first chart of 2008, it had climbed back to its entry position of 11, with 143,000 points and being named the "Largest Points Increase" for that week.[64] It then got 158,000 points and dropped back down to 15[65] and the following week climbed to 12 with 151,000 points.[66] The next week, on 26 January, it achieved its highest chart position to date, number 9 with 148,000 points.[67] Its total points to date are therefore 1,552,000.
