The previous record was apparently Geri Halliwell with 4. She can't really sing either but she had a big profile and lots of publicity

Yes, what people forget as well is the fact that Cheryl is such a great performer and looks so good and she's what all young girls aspire to. Basically Cheryl has the whole package and she can sing but just not the greatest singer. Plus the majority of her songs are catchy and good dance songs so really appeals to the younger generation.

You're 44 years old. What makes you think that you even have the faintest idea of what young girls of the 21st generally aspire to be like? lmao

That's your opinion, I suggest you find out then who buys her downloads and her records. With 80,000 odd sales somebody is buying them!!!!!!!! You cannot take her 5 number 1s straight in away from Cheryl as much as you might like to!

which blatantly isn't true. Most girls aspire to be something a little more worthwhile

That's a ridiculous comparison considering that the Mr Blobby song is one of the bestselling of all time. Obviously it's going to have enormous sales, doesn't mean that it's representative of the music industry. It's like saying "Taylor Swift sold 1.3 million in a week back in 2014. The album sales must've been much higher in them days", but in reality, the majority of US #1 albums don't clear 200k.
Even Peter Andre with mysterious girl managed 750k. Singles get to no 1 much easier these days. It is a fact. They sell less and it's possible to get a no 1 on streaming alone even. |

Cheryl is just mediocre. no real talent there.
Getting to number one isn't that hard these days. You dont have to sell that many. |

Good for her. I've always liked her records
She's a pop Artiste and she makes great pop records imho. If I'm in a club and the dj drops a track that makes me want to dance. I don't worry about how the track was created. If I can dance to it and enjoy it that's good enough for me

Cheryl Whatever Her Surname Is This Week has entered the "Safety Stage" of the music industry.
Dave Grohl from Foo Fighters/Nirvana fame had previously spoke of this in general. Said when artists get to a certain stage it really doesn't matter what they release (Mentioned names like Elton John, Madonna). He said people will still buy material from these names even if the single/album is absolute garbage simply because of the name attatched to it. "They are a fan of them so its a case of I have to buy it, doesn't matter whether its an insult to their hearing or not" Seems pretty spot on to me ![]() |

Just seems crazy to me
Good looking girls quite ok in a 5 member group but as a solo artist, very, very lucky to be where she is. OK performer but very below par & average vocal But I guess if you're ok with kissing simon cowells ass for the rest of your career then fair play I guess |

It's not even possible to reach the top 10 on streaming alone. The highest ever streaming week was the chart equivalent of ~15,000 sales. |

The singles chart is about as relevant as the League Cup is in football nowadays. A sort of quaint anachronism that soldiers on despite fact vast majority of populous has no idea about it anymore.

Well, Geri managed to hold on to the record for 13 years. Not too Shabby.
Although Geri's four number ones were consecutive. So she still holds the record for the UK female artist with the most consecutive number ones! Anyway with eleven number ones alltogether, I believe she's still the UK female to have appeared on more than any other. |

Indeed.
Plus, she did have the kick start of previously being in a successful group. She has an inbuilt fan base. I think her voice is incredibly weak, I actually find some notes very hard on the ears. Her songs are catchy though. It's a bit of a shame, imo, that such a poor vocalist now holds this accolade. Cheryl has been a hugely successful popstar for twelve years; she totally deserves this record. |

Considering the people she has "beaten" to the record are Geri Halliwell and Rita Ora, I dont think it's an indicator of massive musical success.
Plus I've heard rumours that music publications have been told they are not allowed to review her album lower than 5/10 or 3/5

I bet she's only sold a fraction of the amount of albums that Adele has.

Why is Cheryl's solo career so much more successful than Nicola's or Nadine's (I'm not aware of Sarah or Kimberley releasing solo stuff)?
