Posted November 25, 200816 yr 'OUT' AND ALOUD Hi Keith, I always read your column and I was wondering if, with the release of Girls Aloud's new album "Out Of Control" in the U.K., we're going to see it (come out) overseas? I love them and it's a shame they never had a chance here in the U.S. I know that a lot of Girls Aloud fans would love to see them here. Regards, Marcos Nato Houston, Texas Hi Marcos, Girls Aloud are experiencing quite a bit of success at the present in the U.K. Its Polydor/Universal album "Out of Control" recently debuted at No. 1 on the Official U.K. Albums Chart while the set's lead single, "The Promise," also topped the U.K. Singles Chart. The latter also happened to be the act's 19th consecutive top 10 hit there -- its complete output of single releases. We got the official word straight from Hassan Choudhury, VP, international marketing for Universal Music U.K. about the state of Girls Aloud in the U.S. He said that the "international rollout for Girls Aloud and their 'Out Of Control' album is focused on continental Europe for the immediate future, spurred by the prospect of a major TV commercial tie-in in Germany, featuring the girls." Continuing, he said that the "longer-term future includes the U.S., especially if this European campaign proves the Girls Aloud appeal to international audiences." So, there you have it. Universal Music, the Girls' label, isn't ruling out a go at the U.S., so keep your fingers crossed that the stars align and the Girls come to America. http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/ask_bb/inde...!1713291072 Omg I would f***ing die if they came here. I really hope they do well. I'm glad their company has confidence in them! Edited November 25, 200816 yr by shakilover

I just really wanna see them live! I'd love for them to do well here, but either way I think they should just try, especially if they do well in Europe.
November 25, 200816 yr I'm all for them trying, but I have a feeling it won't be a success. But good luck to them!
November 25, 200816 yr yupp i hope they do it...but australia didnt happen....doubt America would (without simon cowell bringing them onto Oprah)lol!!!!
November 26, 200816 yr it'd have to be a mish mash of recent material for America, not just OOC alone.
