Natasha Bedingfield's record 'Pocket Of Sunshine' has entered the US album chart at number three, meaning that she ties with eighties wine-bar queen Sade for highest ever American chart debut for a UK signed lady. The LP, which is basically what was released in the UK last year under the title 'NB' but with a few new tracks, sold 50,000 copies in its first week of release.
Meanwhile the singer, who postponed her UK dates in August, has cancelled that tour altogether. A statement on her website claimed that the cancellation was due to "no fault of Natasha herself, but due to her US label insisting that she remains in [the] US until further notice to promote the release of her album".
