I love Cheryl but a no to a Cheryl hits medley on this tour (it’s all about the Girls Aloud hits)!

Not just a Cheryl solo no but a no to any solo hits (they all did try the solo route at least).

I have a feeling this could be their biggest streaming year yet especially when the tour kicks off. It would be good to see some certifications though and a boost of sales for their catalogue.

NO Cheryl solo! If she wants to be the opening act then she can, otherwise the show it GIRLS ALOUD only! They have way too many amazing songs to put Cheryl's (weaker) solo stuff in there.

I just think it's better leave Cheryl's solo out completly of this tour and let it all be about girls aloud.

Here's some random information - Girls Aloud's peaks/weeks in the UK Download Singles chart!

The chart varied in size at different periods in time:

20th June 2004 to 22nd August 2004: Top 20 (Test Data)
29th August 2004 to 28th November 2004: Top 20
5th December 2004 to 2nd April 2006: Top 40
9th April 2006 to 13th August 2006: Top 200
20th August 2006 to 29th October 2006: Top 100
5th November 2006 to 11th February 2007: Top 200
18th February 2007 to 9th May 2010: Top 100
16th May 2010 to present: Top 200

NOTE: The singles chart remained physical sales only until the Sunday 17th April 2005 chart - so download sales of The Show, Love Machine, I'll Stand by You and Wake Me Up did not contribute to their sales in the singles chart until that date and beyond.

The Show actually pre-dates the official launch of the download chart (29th August 2004). However, as early as 20th June 2004, the OCC gathered together "test data" charts. The Show didn't enter the test data download chart until Sunday 11th July 2004, whereas in the singles chart it entered on 4th July (following its Monday 28th June 2004 release date). Either The Show wasn't legally available to download in the first week on sale, or it was but didn't sell enough downloads to make it into the Top 20.
Love Machine 14 weeks in Top 40. 22 weeks in Top 200.
I'll Stand by You - 8 weeks in Top 40 (7 in 2004/5, and 1 in 2021).
Wake Me Up - 5 weeks in Top 40. It was available to download from the 'What Will the Neighbours Say?' album in advance of its physical single release, and entered the download Top 40 a week earlier than it entered the official singles chart.
Long Hot Summer - 2 weeks in Top 40.
Biology - 8 weeks in Top 40 / 9 weeks in Top 100 / 15 weeks in Top 200.
See the Day - 5 weeks in Top 40 / 6 weeks in Top 200. It was available to download from the 'Chemistry' album two weeks earlier than its physical single release.
Whole Lotta History - 2 weeks in Top 40 / 4 weeks in Top 200.
Something Kinda Ooooh - 12 weeks in Top 40 / 18 weeks in Top 100 / 18 weeks in Top 200. It was made available to download 1 week earlier than the physical single release.
I Think We're Alone Now - 6 weeks in Top 40 / 11 weeks in Top 100 / 15 weeks in Top 200. It first entered the download chart in the week that 'The Sound of Girls Aloud: The Greatest Hits' was released.
Girls Aloud Megamix - 3 weeks in Top 100 / 5 weeks in Top 200.
Sound of the Underground - 1 week in Top 100 / 6 weeks in Top 200. Although it first entered the Download Top 200 on 5th November 2006 (the week of the release of 'The Sound of Girls Aloud: The Greatest Hits', it didn't make the Download Top 100 until 10th September 2021.
Walk This Way - 3 weeks in Top 40 / 6 weeks in Top 100.
Sexy! No No No... - 5 weeks in Top 40 / 14 weeks in Top 100. It was made available to download 3 days before the physical single release.
Call the Shots - 15 weeks in Top 40 / 25 weeks in Top 100. It was available to download from the 'Tangled Up' album one week earlier than its physical single release.

Thank you for posting! I wonder if they’re very recent totals?

Biology is now so close to overtaking I’ll Stand By You! ohmy.gif

Really really happy to see something new in the top 10 and i hope it can overtake ill stand by you and biology, something new has definitely been one of their songs to benefit from the streaming era as its sales have thankfully climbed since its initial chart run. It is disappointing though that no good advice is not there.

^ Both Biology and Something New are on track to overtake I'll Stand By You, but within the last 5 years Biology overtook Something New, and I'd be surprised if Something New ever surges to the point of going back ahead of Biology.


We had a full sales update back in August 2019 (I can't believe it's approaching 5 years!). Here's a comparison of the sales from back then, and now. The order I've listed these songs in, is in the 2024 Top 10 best sellers order:

2019 (accurate sales) | 2024 (approx sales) | Increase (approx sales) -

800,338 | 1,100,000 | +299,650 - Sound Of The Underground
634,748 | 805,000 | +170,250 - The Promise
364,321 | 625,000 | +260,700 - Love Machine
389,409 | 488,000 | +98,600 - Call The Shots
327,322 | 472,000 | +144,700 - Jump
341,589 | 453,000 | +111,400 - Something Kinda Ooooh
242,253 | 304,000 | +61,750 - Can't Speak French
252,727 | 287,000 | +34,250 - I'll Stand By You
214,055 | 286,000 | +71,950 - Biology
216,405 | 279,000 | +62,600 - Something New


Predictions:

Change of Top 10 order
June 2024 - Biology overtakes I'll Stand By You (predicted sales for both: 288,000)
September 2025 - Something New overtakes I'll Stand By You (predicted sales for both: 297,000)
December 2025 - Jump overtakes Call the Shots (predicted sales for both: 522,000)

Sales milestones
500,000+ Call the Shots in November 2024
500,000+ Jump in April 2025
300,000+ Biology in April 2025
700,000+ Love Machine in September 2025
1,200,000+ Sound of the Underground in December 2025
300,000+ Something New in December 2025
300,000+ I'll Stand By You in January 2026
500,000+ Something Kinda Ooooh in May 2026
900,000+ The Promise in December 2026



It's a shame that No Good Advice hasn't managed to go Silver yet. It was on 178,000 in February 2022, but evidently has still not reached 200k, 2 years on. sad.gif

Random: At the end of 2007, when Girls Aloud were 17 singles deep into their career, I'll Stand By You ranked as their 3rd best seller at that point. Their best sellers list from then is posted here.

Interesting to see the updated information for songs like I’ll stand by you biology and something new. Surely No good advice must be really close to silver.

Wish we would get updated totals for spice girls top 10 like this (would be all but headlines lol)
