Charlotte
Church Dropped By Record
Label
Charlotte
Church
has been dropped by her
record label after
flagging sales of her
debut pop album "Tissues
and Issues".
The
former classical star
split with Sony BMG
after a series of
meetings.
However,
a statement from her
publicist put a brave
face on the move,
claiming her contract
had simply
expired.
This
read: "The five album
deal came to an end and
both Sony BMG and
Charlotte decided not to
renew it. It was a
mutual
decision."
The
20-year-old had been
with the label since the
age of 12.
Her
debut album, "Voice of
an Angel", entered the
charts at number four,
staying there for 20
weeks
"Tissues
and Issues", released in
2005, reached number
five in the charts and
included the number one
single "Crazy
Chick".
Later
singles, "Even God Can't
Change The Past" and
"Moodswings (To Come At
Me Like That)" only just
cracked the UK Top
20.
Charlotee
Church will now
concentrate on her
career as a chat show
host on Channel
4.
Her
publicist added:
"Charlotte is not in a
rush to consider any new
long-term recording
deals because the record
company industry is in a
state of flux. For the
moment TV presenting
suits her lifestyle as
there is less travelling
involved."
