Leona Lewis’s earnings for One More Sleep revealed as it becomes the UK’s most played modern Christmas song

SINGER Leona Lewis has got a new record to add to her achievements, as her Christmas hit 'One More Sleep' becomes the UK's most played modern Christmas song.

The X Factor winner, who won the ITV singing competition in 2006, has also turned the festive song into a nice little earner too.

Leona released One More Sleep in 2013, and it's made it into the top 40 every single year since 2018.

In 2024, the hit was streamed 115,463,031 times Spotify which means she has raked in £323,296.49, according to CasinoBee. 

This year it's also been been named the UK's most played modern Christmas song. 

Data from the Official Charts has also revealed that the hit has now accumulated the equivalent of 14 weeks of continuous airplay on radio and television since its release in 2013. 

Discussing her Christmas tune, Leona said: "It's really special knowing that One More Sleep brings a little joy to people’s Christmases.

"The song and the whole album mean so much to me. It's really beautiful that people connect to it and as an artist that’s all I could hope for."

Last year Leona revealed that she has a very normal job outside of her singing career, which saw her release a best selling album and hit song with 'Bleeding Love'.

Away from music and singing, Leona owns two vegan, plant based cafes in Los Angeles with her husband after being inspired by her parents' "bricks and mortar" business.

Appearing on Lorraine, she revealed that she and her husband Dennis Jauch set up the businesses in the States where they spend most of their time.

Speaking to TV presenter Christine Lampard in October last year, Leona explained: "My husband and I actually opened up these two shops and I think we had always seen our own parents working, and building up their own businesses.

"I think we wanted a brick and mortar store.

"And I love coffee shops, I love sitting and writing and reading books in shops, so we decided to open a couple up.

"And yeah we just love it it's like our passion project."

She added: "It is very much a family business and Carmel [her daughter] is always with us in there and it's lovely."
