As much as it pains me to admit it, every Cheryl song I have heard I have liked

Promise This, Parachute (I can even finally admit I prefer her version to the original), and her first single, I like all of those. Call My Name is starting to grow on me too

I am interested in exploring her music a bit more but I don't want to listen to her albums all the way through - I'm not quite there yet

So to Cheryl fans, from all her tracks including b sides, what do you think her best five songs are, the ones that would really impress the fence sitters? Thanks!

Ok, well since her new album isnt out yet id recommend you listen to the previews, should be easy to find on youtube.
As for songs already out, i'd say:

1. Stand Up, 3 words
2. Rain on me, 3 words
3. Yeah yeah, MLR
4. Waiting, MLR
5. Make you go, CMN b-side

Just as i thought you could probably get both albums for less than 5 pounds pre-owned and including delivery.

Parachute is her song?

There is no original.

Anyway:

1. Boys (3 Words single B-Side)
2. Stand Up
3. Screw You (likely to be the 2nd single from A Million Lights)
4. Happy Tears
5. Yeah Yeah

Aside from the singles, I'd recommend:

1. Rain On Me (3 Words)
2. Crazy Fool (B-Side to the Girls Aloud track Whole Lotta History, but its a Cheryl solo)
3. Yeah Yeah (Messy Little Raindrops)
4. Happy Hour (3 Words)
5. Boys (B-Side to 3 Words, written by Emeli Sande)

There is no original.
The woman who wrote Parachute (Ingrid Michaelson) later released the song herself. But Cheryl's version was released first, so technically her's is the original and Ingrid's is the cover.

Happy Hour - 3 Words
Rain On Me - 3 Words
Amnesia - Messy Little Raindrops
Yeah Yeah - Messy Little Raindrops
Boys - 3 Words b-side

Cheryl gets a lot of flack but I really like her stuff, and I'm looking forward to A Million Lights. 3 Words overall is a really good album. Messy Little Raindrops has its moments but was a bit disappointing. I would recommend 3 Words for downloading.

1. Rain On Me (3 Words)
2. Promise This (MLR)
3. Waiting (MLR)
4. Parachute (3 Words)
5. Call My Name

Her albums do have a bit of filler, it's undeniable, but if you put them together she has a LOT of very strong tracks, and I found it mega difficult to limit that to 5, having missed out a lot of pretty good tracks (FFTL, 3 Words, Stand Up, Amnesia, Yeah Yeah, Happy Hour & probably Craziest Things all could easily have been on that list).

3 Words (the track/single) is her secret weapon though.

It's gorgeous. So simple, yet mesmerising.

3 Words is Cheryl's best song imo.

There was also this song I heard of hers that samples the piano line from A Thousand Miles. I don't know what it's called, but it's a brilliant song!!
