She has sold 134.2k of Fight For This Love.

Alexandra only sold 89k this time last week. Cheryl has already outsold her. Looks like those who said that other poster was wrong and said Cheryl would never outsell Alexandra need some humble pie!

Go Cheryl!

And I'm sure Alex will be happy it's Cheryl to knock her off #1.

That is some crazy sales right there but congrats to Cheryl. Seems only right too I guess that Alexandra's mentor should be selling more than her

No accounting for taste these days.

Both tracks are gimmicky rubbish.

Fantastic sales!!

I do however think this is her peak week. I think its all downhill from here. There is always the risk of when someone becomes so successful and so hyped that backlashes happen. I think she is due a one knowing how the media work. There is that great saying. 'Build them up to knock them down' Cheryl isn't just another pop star. She is a hyped to the hilt popstar through PR spin and mass X Factor backing. Once that bubble burts it will not be pretty for her. She fits this bill too much and there is already a lot of resentment towards her building up within the industry.

Well Done Cheryl, her performance on Sunday was amazing. It may not have been 100% live but the dancing was far beyond what I expected of her. Brilliant sales.

134k people would disagree with you there, maybe its your taste in music that is wrong?

Actually I thought the reverse Alexandra's album is generic,cheesy and weak where as Cheryl's is surprisingly good.

Each to their own.

it's the fact that thousands of kids are buying the song not because it's any good, but because it's Cheryl Cole. don't give me all that 'personal taste' rubbish, anyone with half a brain can hear that the song is average at best. i'm not saying every other song in the charts is brillliant, but if Fight For This Love was by a new artist then no-one would care about it.

don't try and kid yourself that those sales are down to the song, Cheryl could of released any song and all her child fans would go crazy about it and buy it.

It's not just kids buying it through is it? Everyone I know loves it and they are in their 20s!

I think my taste in music is pretty much on the money when I say this song is pap.

My, but some of her fangirls are getting a wee bit overly smug aren't they? Ever heard of a "one hit wonder"?? Don't get so "uppity" because you might find that Cheryl's other singles don't do so well.

Solo Spice singles all did pretty well at first didn't they, and Victoria and Mel B have had illustrious pop careers off of the back of their big debuts haven't they?
Cheryl's song is really awful, but so are most of this year's number ones. I have no doubt she will be succesful for a while, but she's still the least talented one in a girl band!
Well done on the mammoth sales though, good on her.

I admit it, I'm outraged. never thought the music business could go this low. I think the apocalypse is near. She's too bad for this world.

Better boring than tacky. Chaviness is the ultimate sin.

I was just thinking the exact same thing. It's a terrible (not to mention, extremely repetitive) song. It's sales don't surprise me though, afterall we are livng in a world where Cascada beat Michael Jackson to Number 1...

I hope Simon Cowell is happy with all his millions of pounds, because with trash like X Factor winners being number 1 all the time he's effectively killed the music industry.
