The singer is currently at number two in the US Billboard midweek charts and is desperate to reach the top spot.
"Earlier today my record company told me It's Not Me, It's You has a pretty good chance of going to number one in the US charts this week," she wrote on her blog.
"I'm currently sitting behind Alison Krauss and Robert Plant, who quite rightly are sitting at number one. I've never had a number one album in England, never mind the US, and all of this is a bit crazy.
"I could well be up for number one here, which makes me want to cry a bit . I've never begged you to buy from me ever, but I am now. This will be the only time ever in my life that this could happen for me."
Allen is on course to secure the number one single and album in the UK charts this weekend.
