Looks like this weekend she alone will hold the record for most British female number one singles. I like her but she just has people pick songs for her and records an album in a week.

Currently the record is shared with Rita ora and geri halliwell. Ora has an amazing voice. Halliwell wrote lots of her songs and even signs many of them so her deaf fans can enjoy them.

Is the most number ones the best measure of success?

Madonna isn't British Stealth. They must be including her Girls Aloud sales surely? Or the world really has gone mad!!!

Geri Halliwell should have done everyone a favour and just signed her songs in the first place then no one would have been subjected to her warbling!

YANBU about Cheryl's success. What about Leona Lewis though? Surely she's had more hits?

Apart from anything else Cheryl is vile and a complete triumph of style over substance. She can't sing for toffee. Her solo success has mainly been due to her appearance on the X Factor, I think. One of the main reasons why she was so eager to return. I never bought all that 'national treasure' bullshit. I prefer my national treasures not to have a conviction for GBH.

Is it just about the most number ones? Because I'm sure she hasn't eclipsed Adele etc in sales figures?

Where are you getting this information from? She is being slammed for miming again.
Adele is number one, and everything I have seen Cheryl isn't even in the top 10.

I like Cheryl. She can sing, she looks good, and she has some decent songs. That's all I'm really looking for from these people.

If she has sold the most singles then well done to her, it doesn't take anything away from any other successful pop stars.

But toriuk I thought Taylor swift is the most powerful successful woman on the earth? You said so yourself yesterday. Repeatedly. Are you just wanting a reaction by any chance?

True what they say - A female with a pretty face will always get on in life better than a female with a plain face. Regardless of talent. it's not right

Taylor swift has more talent in her little finger than Cheryl Cole.

She is pretty but then again, if you have squillions to spend on make up artists, hair stylists, personal trainers etc, many women would look as pretty (if not more). Wink I find Adele more conventionally attractive

Cheryls songs are just awful, truly awful. I don't mind some pop fluff like Katy Perry and Taylor swift, but Cheryl's music really is dreadful
