I surrender for free
Belgium: Kate Ryan to reach gold with the help of a daily
Despite the big success that Kate Ryan currently enjoys with her fore last single Ella, elle l’a in many European countries and recently even in Canada, a single which has become multi platinum and gold and has even brought some award nominations to the artist, I surrender, her latest single faces difficulties to become a smash hit in her own country. Its chart record up to today has been a peak at 27th position with a current moving up and down between spots 27-37.
In order to fill the gap in the selling figures and thus give her single the golden status in just one day Het Niewsblad will distribute online 15.000 free copies of it in mp3 format. The action will take place on Thursday 6th November at 9.00 am CET. The daily has launched an online countdown of this promotion together with an advertisement of Kate Ryan’s new album Free.
Kate is currently promoting her latest work in Canada. She will soon start a mini tour in the United Kingdom. She will be part of a wide group of contemporary dance artists such as Scooter(German National Final 2004), Kelly Llorena, N-force and others, who will appear in big arenas around the United Kingdom from 27th Novemebr to 5th December 2008. In this second Clubland Live Tour, Kate will perform and promote the English version of her european smash hit single Ella, elle l'a, which will be released on 10th November on the 14th Clubland album.
Kate Ryan has participated in the 2006 Eurovision Song Contest held in Athens on 16th and 18th May 2008 with the song Je t’ adore and although having been a eurofan favourite prior to the contest, she did not manage to reach the final.

Good artists don't need these kinds of stunts to sell a record or two.

Btw I found something out!!
The song "I surrender" isn't actually natural to Kate Ryan at all. It was originally performed by the British girl group Clea. And when Clea split up, half of them went on to become Loveshy, who participated in our national final this year:

I bought her new album Free in Cyprus while on holiday about 4 weeks ago & I think (personally) that it is one of the best albums I own & I have 100's of cd's.
I just love every single song on the album. There are only two other artists albums that I have that also have every song that is great.
I love the song "L.I.L.Y" (Like I Love You), it is one of the top three songs on the album.
Well done to Kate, I will be waiting for her next album already!!
What a service !
I Surrender is amazing!
Kate Ryan is amazing!
She deserved to be in the top 10 in 2006!
I hope she releases Ella Elle L'a in The UK!
Good luck Kate! xxx
Good luck to Kate - she is amazing!!! 
But why go on the clubland tour in the UK?!?!? 
It's music for chavs and I certainly think Ms Ryan is a lot better than that!!!
I like "I surrender".
