Ahhh, I bought that on single. The same week as Kylie Minogue's 'Chocolate'!

Doing a video marathon and my god, why did they have for the most part such crappy videos? The songs still hold up extremely well though

 

"Fight for this Love" premiered 9 years ago today! :wub: I still absolutely adore this song, I overplayed it way too much on the day of release but it still holds up as a pop classic to me. I'd rank it second amongst Cheryl's singles (and any GA solo single, tbh) behind "Call My Name".

Wow never knew Chemistry had such high first week sales, and yet only managed #11, then #17 on 100,000 is just ridiculous! By contrast OOC chatting at #1 with just 4,000 more than Chemistry’s opening!!!

Love Machine was released 14 years ago: 13th September 2004!

 

 

Love Machine entered and peaked at #2 in the official UK singles chart, spending two weeks at that position. It was the 49th best seller of 2004 (selling 94,000 copies). As of June 2018 its sales stood at just under 293,000.

It's been 10 years since 'The Promise' premiered :o :drama:

 

Significant dates:

 

Radio premiere: 14th September 2008

Music video filmed: 15th September 2008

Video premiere & Radio One Live Lounge performance: 25th September 2008

 

(TV promo & its release occurred in October)

 

Can't believe how old the majority of their music is now... time flew! Not long until it's 10 years since Out of Control i.e. their final studio album. Eek.

Nicola released her debut solo album 'Cinderella's Eyes' seven years ago today :wub:

 

 

I was in my final year of uni at the time and played this album to death when it came out, it's still easily my most favourite album of all the solo Aloud releases, it's got such depth and vibrancy to it. You can tell how passionate Nicola was about it and how confident she sounded on the album. Even now when I listen to it, I still hear new things on it every time.

 

My favourites on the album are 'I', 'Sticks & Stones', 'Take A Bite' (particularly because she references the 'Rude ginger bitch' skirt saga of 2003) and 'Say It Out Loud'. I'd love her to do another album one day but I get the impression she's probably happier writing and producing for other artists now.

Cinderella's Eyes remains such a superb debut album, will always look back on it fondly :wub:

The Promise was released 10 years ago!! Download: 19th October 2008 / Physical: 20th October 2008 :o

 

Now I feel old! :o

Tomorrow will be exactly four years since 'Only Human' was released and "I Don't Care" reached #1 in the UK - giving Cheryl the record for most #1s for a solo British female, which she held for 3 years and 5 months.

 

 

I still love the song but I don't go back to it as much as the '3 Words' singles and "Call My Name". I'd rank it third behind the latter and "Fight for this Love" amongst her #1s though.

 

I can't believe it's been four years since she last released music though 😩 I am SO ready for "Love Made Me Do It"!

That song sounds so cheap. Very forgettable.
