New Zealand's most charming and talented international artist Hayley Westenra has sold over one million copies worldwide of her album 'Pure'.

From busking in the streets of Christchurch - to recording her first New Zealand quadruple platinum album only two years ago - to International Stardom with her debut international album 'Pure' - Hayley has climbed the ladder quickly

'Pure' has been a tremendous success for Hayley, the album is already 9 times platinum in New Zealand and was the #1 album for Christmas in the New Zealand Top 50 Chart.

Released in the UK in September 2003, 'Pure' rocketed into the UK top 10 pop chart and made waves by becoming the best selling debut album in the history of the UK Classical album charts taking only one week to reach Gold status (100,000). The album has now sold 3/4 of a million copies in the UK alone! Hayley's stunning version of 'Wuthering Heights' is being released as a single in the UK on the 22nd March.

HAYLEY WESTENRA PERFORMS EXCLUSIVE CONCERT FOR HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN, PRESIDENT GEORGE BUSH AND PRIME MINISTER TONY BLAIR

Last night Hayley took part in an exclusive performance for Her Majesty the Queen, the Prime Minister Tony Blair and President George Bush at a private dinner to honour the US president's visit to the UK. Other guests included HRH Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, HRH The Prince of Wales, Cherie Blair, Laura Bush, Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice.

The evening's entertainment was a musical show based on the works of renowned musical director Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber. Hayley sang four songs; a duet of "Let Us Love and Peace" from A Beautiful Game with Irish singer Shonagh Daly, a solo of Pie Jesu, and a duet of I Believe My Heart, the lead track to Andrew Lloyd Webber's new musical "Woman in White" which she sang with the musical's male star, Kevin McKidd. For the evening's finale Hayley joined the other stars on stage for a stunning rendition of No Matter What.

On the evening Hayley commented: "It's been an amazing experience. It's such an honour to be asked to perform in front of the Queen of England and some of the world's leading political figures and equally amazing to work with Andrew Lloyd Webber. I still can't quite believe it".

Some of you may have seen a New Zealand tour announced on some websites. These dates are INCORRECT!
Details for the tour will be finalised early next week and you'll be able to find information here on Hayley's official site.

News of Hayley's success is beginning to spread... today, the prestigious New York Times published this article about Hayley.

The Voice of an Angel Takes Flight
By ALAN RIDING

Published: November 4, 2003

ERBY, England - Hayley Westenra is the stuff of dreams for record companies gloomy over falling sales of classical music. A bright-eyed 16-year-old with an angelic voice, she is close enough to womanhood to secure ample coverage in the girl-obsessed British press. Add to that, her warm soprano voice has just turned her new CD, "Pure," into one of the fastest-selling classical debut albums ever.

Decca Music Group, a British label owned by the Universal Music Group, is almost breathless with excitement. "When you're in the presence of beauty, it's not something you have to think about," its publicity pamphlet proclaims. "Whether it's aural or visual, or in Hayley Westenra's case both, you tingle with the feeling that your soul has been touched."

Those words were written before her 13-song medley of ballads sold more than 290,000 copies here in seven weeks, installing "Pure" at the top of Britain's classical music charts. (The album will be released in the United States on April 9.) Now, with Ms. Westenra signed up for a $4.5 million five-album contract, Decca may well be tingling with the feeling that salvation is nigh.

In contrast, Ms. Westenra herself has her feet planted solidly on planet earth. This may be the high point of her career, but she has been singing in public - on the street, in musicals, in concerts, in talent contests - for about as long as she can remember. Indeed, while she is new to Britain, in her native New Zealand her first two CD's sold 90,000 copies between them, with "Pure" selling another 50,000 before its release here.

So even the limelight is a little old hat for this high-spirited teenager. "I guess in some ways I'm used to it, and I don't think about it too much," she said in a twangy Down Under accent. "I just deal with each thing as it comes. I've been invited to do the Royal Variety Show. I don't go, `Gosh, what am I going to wear?' I just think, `Right, I'll do it.' "

Read the whole article at the New York Times website (this may require registration)

Here's a special update sent direct from from Japan!
Hayley's promo trip is going really well. She is going down a storm, the journalists love her and there is a real buzz around her.

The track "Amazing Grace" from Hayley's album "Pure" features really heavily throughout one of the most popular Japanese sitcoms called "Mezamashi" and it has become an incredibly popular song in Japan already. Hayley met the actors and actresses yesterday which was filmed for a morning entertainment tv show. "Mezamashi" is on the same scale as "Eastenders" in the UK or "Neighbours" in Australia, and people are starting to link the song with Hayley more and more. For example, yesterday Hayley did a photoshoot and the photographer didn't know who she was until he was told that she was the voice singing "Amazing Grace" on the sitcom. He was so overwhelmed that he nearly started to cry and told her he watched the show every week and he absolutely loved the song and her voice. He kept on bowing on the ground which was hugely touching for Hayley.

The single of "Amazing Grace" has just been released and its sales are really taking off after all her radio performances.
Radio support has also been massive for the single, especially considering it is a classical song (and there are no classical radio stations in Japan). Hayley is No.30 in the airplay charts but that was based on last week so it should go up the charts this week.

Overall it seems that Universal Music Japan and more importantly, the people of Japan, are very excited about Hayley and are really behind the album! Way to go Hayley!

PS Hayley fans in Japan mark your calendars because "Pure" will be released on November 19th!

Hayley hs just flown to Japan to begin a short promotional tour of Japan and Taiwan. We'll bring you more details as we know them - here's what we have so far.

In between touring, travelling, performing and talking to the press, Hayley has somehow found time to write her latest diary update!

Hi guys!!

How are you?? Sorry about keeping you waiting for another update on what I'm doing, but as you can imagine life has been a bit crazy!! At the moment we're driving back to London, after last night performing with Aled Jones in Llandudno, North Wales. I'm feeling a bit tired (and a bit carsick!), as it was a bit of a late night and then we had to get up quite early to get back in time for a meeting, as it's a 5hr trip!

Anyway, I'm having a great time over here in the UK. I'm joining Aled for 8 concerts on his UK tour and so far I've performed in Croydon, Basingstoke, Derby and Llandudno. Each concert has been a big success and I've been thoroughly enjoying myself! There's only one thing that we've been struggling with......the road systems!! You'd think that, armed with a map, everything should be pretty straight forward, but somehow we always run into difficulty!!!
Oooh….guess what??! I now have a manager, Steve Abbott. He’s such a lovely man and so enthusiastic, although because of the huge workload that’s suddenly been dumped on him he’s been getting around 5hrs sleep every night….I feel so guilty!! I’m very lucky though!

Anyway, I better go. I’ll try and keep you updated!!

Love Hayley xxx

UNKNOWN 16 YEAR OLD MAKES UK CHART HISTORY

A little-known 16-year-old New Zealand girl, Hayley Westenra, today broke all records with the fastest-selling debut album in the history of the UK classical charts (The Official UK Charts)

"Pure", Hayley's debut UK release on Decca, has achieved higher first week sales than such household names as Luciano Pavarotti, Andrea Bocelli, Charlotte Church and Russell Watson. The album has gone straight in to the UK Pop Chart at No.8 and is at No.1 in the Classical Charts.

Known for the extraordinary purity of her voice, Hayley was discovered busking in Christchurch New Zealand aged 11yrs, and was snapped up by record giants Universal in New Zealand (home to acts such as Elton John, Daniel Bedingfield, Eminen and Texas) for a 5 album £3million pound deal. Her debut album went straight to No.1 in the New Zealand pop album charts ahead of Robbie Williams. Hayley is now marketed worldwide by Decca (part of Universal).

Hayley has just performed with Jose Carreras and Bryn Terfel in Wales, and she makes her UK solo debut at the Royal Albert Hall in December.

"This is amazing, unbelievable made all the sweeter by the fact I'm living in London and loving every minute!" Hayley Westenra

"Hayley Westenra is an extraordinary young singer. In a world dominated by presentation rather than content the purity and simplicity of her artistry has created a sensation. This young lady has arrived and is here to stay". Bill Holland, Divisional Director Universal Classics & Jazz

"Hayley's talent, directness and yes, purity, have already made her a star in her native New Zealand, Australia, several Asian countries and now the UK. She is the real thing". Costa Pilavachi, President, Decca

Listen to Hayley talking about the new album, and performing live for BBC Radio 4's 'Woman's Hour'.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/womanshour/15_09_03/wednesday/info2.shtml

Pure has gone straight in at #1 in the UK classical charts - the FASTEST SELLING DEBUT ALBUM EVER in the history of the classical charts, outselling debuts by Pavarotti, Andrea Bocelli, Charlotte Church and Russell Watson. In addition, the album is sitting at #8 in the pop charts after selling 19,068 copies in the first week.

Congratulations Hayley!

I'm really sorry I haven't given you an update for a while, but I've been so busy lately with lots of promotion and concerts for my new album 'PURE'! At the moment I'm in London for the release of my album, which is very exciting! A couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity to perform with Bryn Terfel and José Carreras at the Faenol Festival in Wales which was incredible....the whole time I was up on stage with them, I was thinking "how on earth did I get up here?!". It was such an honour and an experience I will never forget!

I also performed at the Kenwood and Marble Hill 'Music on a Summer Evening' concert, which was fantastic. It was such a nice, warm atmosphere because everyone was there just to have a good time! People brought along picnic baskets, candles, tables and chairs...everything except the kitchen sink!!

As you probably know, I also had an awesome time travelling around Australia and Asia!! I can now say I've been to Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia and Korea!! (plus Taiwan...which I visited last year!!)

Doing promotion in Australia was very exciting as it was the first country I'd released an album in, outside New Zealand. I had such a great time and hopefully I'll be back soon! I'm so pleased with how it's doing....it's always a bit nerveracking at first, releasing a new album, so I'm thrilled that people are enjoying it!

I also loved Asia -every aspect of it! Everyone I met was so lovely and supportive. I was actually lucky enough to visit a few markets which was cool and I bought myself and the rest of my family a few souvenirs! I also have to mention the food...mmmm delicious (especially the tofu!!). A few people might know of the well-known nightclub 'Zouk' (apparently it's one of the top 5 nightclubs in the world). Well, that's where my Singapore showcase was held....so I'll be including that in my list of prestigious venues I've performed in!!

Well, I better sign off, but I just want to say a huge thank you to everyone for all their support! I really appreciate all your messages in the guestbook (which I do try and read when I get a chance!) and I'm so glad that you are enjoying my album!!

Lots of love, Hayley xxx
