Cheryl Cole set to become first British Female Artist to achieve 5 #1
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz...mment-68050464
I'm no Cheryl hater and I have liked a couple of her songs but it is a sad day in British music history if she is going to become the first British female artist to achieve 5 #1 singles especially with great artists like Adele etc. She is currently tied with Geri Halliwell and Rita Ora for 4 #1 singles, which is a sad fact alone. She has been very lucky with a great PR machine, divorced from a footballer, judge on a talent show and good looks. Without half of those things I doubt she would have been as successful as she has. |

That saddens me as well. Especially with people like, as you say, Adele and Paloma Faith not having the kind of success. Now, they're musically talented.

A number 1 doesn't mean anything anymore. Means absolutely nothing. I'll give you an example...Drunk In Love by Beyonce got to number 9 in the charts...it never reached number 1. Songs around that time which did hit number 1, were out of the top 40 a couple of weeks later, yet Drunk In Love remained in the top 25 for nearly 3 months...it outsold those tracks that went to number 1. The real money is in albums and that's what artists really want to do well.

No-one remembers how long a song was in the top 40 for though. They remember number 1's and they remember when someone breaks a record.
i agree!! |

It makes me want to go back to the days when there was huge excitement when The Jam went straight to number 1 and it was the first time since Slade had done it in the early 70s. And we are talking about CLASSIC number 1s. Still, if that is the biggest selling single this week then it deserves to be there.

A lack of number 1 singles never did Kate Bush or Annie Lennox any harm. More people will be talking about adele, listening to adele and still buying her albums in another 10 years time. I doubt the same will be happening with Cheryl. She will likely have been dropped by then and having a career resurgence in whatever big reality show she is apart of at that time. |

It's only the UK which laps up Cheryls music though isn't it ? Do correct me if I'm wrong.
She's very hit and miss for me. I loved her first album. I also think a miillion lights was a good album. The rest of what she has released is dirge |

What an absolutely pathetic thread this is, full of negativity.
I for one am happy for Cheryl, it's nice to see someone who has worked really hard for years and years still do really well years later. Fanbases can be so fickle these days. |

Is far rather Cheryl than Rita Ora! Plus I Don't Care is a great pop song.

If people think that getting a number 1 is the measure of success then that's dillusion on their part. It's sales that matter, not number 1's. Yes people might remember that Cheryl has got 5 number 1's and yes she has broken a record, but when it comes down to it, it's sales that are the real sign of success...not the fact that you sold the most songs in your week of release. You don't have to sell hardly anything to get a number 1 these days.

That's just pure luck People who work hard are people like Ed Sheeran, who spent years busking on the street, doing hundreds of gigs, distributing his own self made Ep's and then attracting a record label. That's working hard. |

Worked hard? She got lucky by auditioning for a talent show and got a place in a girlband. She then got signed for a solo deal by the same label who managed the girlband she was in. But saw even bigger success by sitting behind a desk telling people who are more talented then her that they are not talented
