Tulisa’s debut album is struggling to be anywhere near as successful as the singer and X Factor judge was hoping.

The Sun has revealed that The Female Boss is looking like it will miss out on the top ten all together when the chart is locked down on Sunday.

Tulisa and her management had hoped that her performance of Sight of You on the X Factor would help to boost sales as it has done for other artists that have performed live including Bruno Mars and Rihanna.

Far from that being the case, The Sun have reported that the album has sold just 7,000 copies in its first two days of release meaning that it placed at number seventeen in the mid week chart and could even be on course to drop out of the top twenty by Sunday.

Her song Sight of You is doing slightly better in the singles chart, currently placing at number ten, though it is a far cry from the success of her debut single Young which reached number .

A source close to Tulisa said of the release of the album: "We're not thinking it will be number one - that's never going to happen. It won't be top five in a million years. But hopefully it will make the Top 10.”
