Leona Lewis is so the golden girl at the moment. In fact, she might even be more popular than the actual Golden Girls, and that’s high praise indeed. Anyway, we’ll stop trying to be funny and get to the point: we’re used to Jo Whiley bullying pop stars into recording quirky cover versions for her Radio 1 Live Lounge, and sometimes they’re a little bit predictable (a hairy indie band giving Umbrella a whirl? How terribly original and groundbreaking!). However, Leona’s cover of Snow Patrol’s Run has truly taken the world by storm in the 24 hours since it aired yesterday. The buzz around Leona in the US is getting properly huge and, when Chris Moyles asked his listeners this morning if they wanted to hear the track again, 8,000 people texted within two minutes! Therefore, we thought it was only fair that we give you a chance to hear it again. Pretty good, eh?
