She needs a KILLER lead single I think. Capital would happily back it and I don't think Radio 1 will snub her if she comes back with a great lead single.

She'll probably have little problem returning with a big hit (probably not #1 this time now pre-orders are a thing of the past, but I could see her having a successful OA/OS release) but it is what happens after that she needs to focus on, namely the second single. It needs to be something that will help carry the album beyond the initial weeks, not necessarily a ballad, but something that shows she's more than just a singles artist.

I think she'll still hold back the single which is her best chance at getting a big hit sadly :( If she did do OA/OS I think it would do similarly to Kiss Me which would be fine, but it would be a bit embarrassing to have all four lead singles go straight to #1 then missing the top 10.

Focus on her music :lol:

 

How laughable.

 

This :lol:

 

Her music was allllways tied to and promoted by X Factor.

 

She is over as a solo artist now and has been since pop brat Beiber beat her album to no.1 on flimy pop brat sales.

:huh:

 

It's just occurred to me that Cheryl has been a solo artist for as long as Girls Aloud were originally together for (2002-2009, 2009-2016)

It doesn't really feel like she's been a solo artist for that long tbh. I guess it's because she hasn't actually released that many singles when compared to Girls Aloud, and she's only toured once! :( Pretty poor when you think about it.

I've never understood how shes only managed one tour, she could have easily have done one with "Only Human" if announced and planned correctly.

Yeah, I don't really understand why she never toured with 'Only Human' either. Her first tour sold well, and I think the demand was still there to a certain degree. Maybe the album underperforming was a deciding factor, or maybe she's just a lazy pop star... :lol:

I guess they had fears she wouldn't sell out a whole tour his time around. The first tour sold great but it was on the back of 3 albums, maybe they thought it would have been hard to equal this success so soon again.

I really want a tour with the fifth album though, she has so much energy on stage, that's where she's the most at ease :wub:

She didn't tour OH because she wasn't invested in her music career at the time. Simple. And even her tour only had 11 shows.

I pray we get a first single before the summer ! She's been posting a lot about being in the studio lately so hopefully something is happening soon, I want a new single asap !

im in crazy stupid love with Promise This again. what an actual anthem! <3

Quote from the Daily Mail (so take it with a pinch of salt for now) about Cheryl:

 

"She will reportedly not allow her imminent arrival stand in the way of her next career move as she persists with plans to release new music next year"

 

Delighted to know we might still be getting new music next year! :D

Come with a bop queen!

a liam feat. is a cert no?

they'll dine on that 1 for years

I expect a few Liam co-writes as a minimum, and very likely a duet!

Cheryl's apparently worked with Naughty Boy for her comeback! Intrigued to see what she'll come out with, I hope the lead single at least is Spotify friendly :lol:

She’s gonna have a big first single I reckon. Similar to Rita success but on a UK spectrum.
