We have a new number one! That makes it 18 singles going straight into the top ten for Girls Aloud (only their third #1, mind), round of applause there.

[Poll #1285924]

Bonkers re-entry watch: Purple Rain by Prince. Any ideas?

It's also the best first week sales of any record this year, and their best first week since Sound of the Underground. Which is quite surprising to me as it's OK but not that good compared to what they've done in the past.

D'you think Cheryl's turn on the X Factor has helped? That's the only thing I can think of.

Well, that and the modishness of the sound they're going for.

I think it's more likely the fact that they performed the song on X-Factor, thus exposing it to far more people than would have seen / heard it otherwise. Cheryl's more regular TV presence probably helps a little.
