Posted June 25, 201213 yr Girls Aloud member Cheryl Cole has seen her first three solo albums chart at 1-1-2. I was wondering how that compared to other soloists who originated from girl groups, so I've compiled a list of "solo girl group member" albums which managed Top 10. Let me know if I've missed anyone out, and I'll add them to the list! ^_^ #1 Belinda Carlisle - The Best of Belinda, Volume 1 (1992) #1 Diana Ross - One Woman The Ultimate Collection (1993) #1 Kelly Rowland - Simply Deep (2003) #1 Beyoncé - Dangerously In Love (2003) #1 Cheryl Cole - 3 Words (2009) #1 Cheryl Cole - Messy Little Raindrops (2010) #1 Beyoncé - 4 (2011) #2 Diana Ross - Greatest Hits 2 (1976) #2 Diana Ross - 20 Golden Greats (1979) #2 Beyoncé - I Am...Sasha Fierce (2008) #2 Cheryl Cole - A Million Lights (2012) #3 Beyoncé - B'Day (2006) #4 Diana Ross - Diana Ross (1976) #4 Belinda Carlisle - Heaven On Earth (1988) #4 Belinda Carlisle - Runaway Horses (1989) #4 Geri Halliwell - Schizophonic (1999) #4 Melanie C - Northern Star (1999) #4 Emma Bunton - A Girl Like Me (2001) #5 Diana Ross - Love Songs (1982) #5 Louise - Woman In Me (1997) #5 Geri Halliwell - Scream If You Wanna Go Faster (2001) #5 Melanie C - Reason (2003) #6 Diana Ross & Marvin Gaye - Diana & Marvin (1973) #7 Diana Ross - Touch Me in the Morning (1973) #7 Belinda Carlisle - Live Your Life Be Free (1991) #7 Louise - Naked (1996) #7 Emma Bunton - Free Me (2004) #8 Diana Ross - Portrait (1983) #8 Nicole Scherzinger - Killer Love (2011) #9 Belinda Carlisle - Real (1993) #9 Louise - Changing Faces – The Best Of Louise (2001) #10 Diana Ross - Surrender (1971) #10 Diana Ross - Take Me Higher (1995) #10 Victoria Beckham - Victoria Beckham (2001) #10 Mutya Buena - Real Girl (2007) The Supremes Diana Ross [10-7-6-4-2-2-5-8-1-10] (Not consecutively) The Go-Go's Belinda Carlisle [4-4-7-1-9] Destiny's Child Kelly Rowland [1] Beyoncé [1-3-2-1] Girls Aloud Cheryl Cole [1-1-2] Spice Girls Geri Halliwell [4-5] Melanie C [4-5] Emma Bunton [4-7] Victoria Beckham [10] Eternal Louise [7-5-9] (Not consecutively) The Pussycat Dolls Nicole Scherzinger [8] Sugababes Mutya Buena [10]
