Nicole Scherzinger Soars To #1

Published: Sunday 20th Mar 2011 by Sam

Pop stunner Nicole Scherzinger has much cause for celebration tonight; for, her latest single ‘Don’t Hold Your Breath’ has stormed straight to the top of the Official UK Singles Chart.

Full story after the jump…

The Dave Aude produced cut outsold its nearest rival, Adele, by some margin – racking up an impressive first week sales figure of 98,091.

Needless to say, this #1 (Scherzinger’s first as a solo act) gives an increased boost to her sophomore effort ‘Killer Love’ – which hits stores in the UK tomorrow.

Go Nicole!

    Jealous b******!

  5. therealest March 20, 2011

    good song but I mean how many chances can one person need? She is pretty and has the overal ‘package’ but she works better in a group.

    After all her previous history she comes across as a real ‘ industry puppet’ and thats really offputting imo…..

    I dont know…..i just dont think she has that ‘jlo ‘britney’ ‘gaga’ appeal…….

  6. JAMES March 20, 2011

    YES NICOLE! you are doing everyone proud, so happy with ya and ur number #1! POISON SHOULD OF GOT NUMBER 1 ASWELL… SO THATS ONE NUMBER ONE IN THE UK, HOPEFULLY A NUMBER 1 ALBUM WILL DO NICELY AND THATS THAT.

  7. Rich March 20, 2011

    Don’t Hold Your Breath but shes not a flop in the UK, she’s doing well 🙂 i love the song and looks like the rest of the UK does too, I hope to see her on the X-factor again too 🙂

  8. Catepillar-man March 20, 2011

    Her nearest competition were not the act at #3!!! Fools

  9. Catepillar-man March 20, 2011

    Nice edit! 😉

  10. Tha Phoenix March 20, 2011

    Have a lot of love for this woman. She has worked hard for a long time and deserves some success.

    *looks at other gerls who have that S.O.E I talk about so much*

    *sips Martini and turns page in the Times*

  11. KAT DELUNA FAN March 20, 2011

    Congrats Nicole !!!

    ARYO must be proud and jumping everywhere.I know I will …if it was my girl
    I dont like the song but I know how hard it is to support a artist than nobody gives a f*ck until she scratch her way to the top.

    * JLO& TGJ anyone*

  12. LEONA FAN March 20, 2011

    LOL @KAT DELUNA FAN

    YOUR FAVE WILL NEVER GET TO THE TOP!

  13. Harvey March 20, 2011

    @perrylious,she can’t flop in the U.S she’s allready on a show.and pop radio could smash DHYB any one these days.

  14. WORSHIP MARIAH OR DIE IN HELL March 20, 2011

    Nobody cares for the UK or other countries

    If you have #1 in America – that’s the real s***…. the competition there is furious and it’s world biggest music market is there, so you guess it…

    Anyway, Congrats to her

    Nicole is much better than R****** -> Nicole Scherzinger >>>>>>>>>>>> R******

  15. WORSHIP MARIAH OR DIE IN HELL March 20, 2011

    I still think someone’s joking with this nick name @ Kat Delunda Fan cause there’s no way this girl has any fans…. she is nobody

    LMAO

  16. KAT DELUNA FAN March 20, 2011

    @LEONA FAN
    Are you GOD or Jesus? How do you know?

  17. Scott March 20, 2011

    Worship mariah or die in hell go to a white supremacist site what a stupid comment.America is not the centre of the world.The rest of the world has a vibrant, developed music system and Nicole has done well.You are poorly educated and ignorant.

  18. LEONA FAN March 20, 2011

    @KAT WHO? FAN

    NO ONE IS CHECKING FOR UR FAVE NOT EVEN BLOG SITES LOL ONCE A FLOP ALWAYS A FLOP SORRY BOO!

  19. WORSHIP MARIAH OR DIE IN HELL March 20, 2011

    @ Scott

    Nobody denies it, you fool. Read what I’ve said – nobody cares. I’ve never heard somebody say Mariah Carey or Michael Jackson had so or so #1 hits in some random Europe country for example. Because it’s irrelevant.

    America is the core of music industry!!! Only Japan and the UK are behind her. Deal with it.

  20. ERIC March 20, 2011

    GREAT! IT’S AMAZING TO SEE GREAT VOCALIST DOMINATING THE CHARTS LATELY: GAGA, ADELE, NICOLE… PLEASE KEEP IT THAT WAY!

  21. Harvey March 20, 2011

    Y’all leave Nicole alone gosh,she’s alot better than than Britney she should be at bey leave nd riri leave she could’ve been huge in 07 and just left the group.but nicole wanted to stay in PCD.I’m a huge fan now because she has proven she won’t just let anybody take over her so I’m real glad she’s solo.next stop killer love make yur way to the U.S.

  22. Kisses March 20, 2011

    A #1 is a #1, people. Can we just leave it at that…my goodness.

    Anyways, I dont care to much for Nicole, but a congrats is in order. Good job….

  23. QUEEN BEYONCE STANN March 20, 2011

    Ehh Perrylicious Said Everything I Wanted To Say With The First Comment xD

    #QueenBeyonce2011 Who’s Pressed B******?!?

  24. beyonce is the QUEEN March 20, 2011

    we all know that worship mariah or die is trent trying to start s***, he is such a joke. Anyway good for her but i really dont see scherzinger getting much success in the states, at least not with this album.

  25. BREEZYTHEBEST March 20, 2011

    Pretty face but I don’t see what is all the hubbub about this girl.

  26. UGh March 20, 2011

    no surprise. it’s the UK. they like anything.

  27. GangsterA March 20, 2011

    congrats nicole no more name calling (flopzinger,flople etc. etc.)

  28. Lewis92 March 20, 2011

    hahahaha LMFAO @ f*****’ idiot haters !!! 😀

    Congrats to her ! Obviously she’s the queen ! Nicole is the best !

    KILLER LOVE !

    GO NICOLE !

  29. lola March 20, 2011

    LOL wow, this is really a big accomplishment… NOT! 98,000 copies? If that was in the US, she would’ve only reached Number 20 on the Billboard Hot 100! No offense to the UK, but that country is very small and UK artists or people who only release stuff in the UK don’t really get anywhere like Alexandra Burke and Jessie J. She can get “success” all she wants in the UK, but hardly anyone is checking for her all through Europe, Canada, and the major spot, America! She deserves to flop hard as hell after being such a b**** to the PCD.

  30. princebarbietv March 20, 2011

    omg bout time she did something!

  31. FURK March 20, 2011

    Too bad nobody gives a f*** about the UK charts. lol

    Get back to me when this habitual flopper scores a top 40 in America.

  32. Matty March 20, 2011

    Ignorant ass people, a #1 is a #1 at the end of the day, your hate is unnecessary

  33. Kyus March 20, 2011

    YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

  34. ChEeRfUl CyNiC XD March 20, 2011

    Funny i’ve never heard the song and I live in the UK

  35. K March 20, 2011

    Flop in the US but hit in the rest! usa got a weird taste of music kesha? taylor swift? wth adele just started buzzing here in the us while europe already knows her for years and klly rowland cant make hit anymore over there while she keeps making hits in the rest of the world…us taste of music is weird #justsayin

  36. TASHA March 20, 2011

    LMFAOOOOOO @ WORSHIP MARIAH

    THE UK MEANS NOTHING?

    IS THAT WHY RIHANNA HAS SOLD OVER 1.225 MILLION COPIES OF LOUD THERE?

    LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

    YOU MAD THAT RIHANNA RACKED UP 2 #1 HITS WITH OG AND WMN IN THE US AND UK?

    LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

  37. Yellow Gorillah March 20, 2011

    I don’t care for her

    But It’s nice to see her hard work is paying Off!

    And The Uk is important it’s good to have internationality success not just the USA!

    Rihanna slays everyone’s fav in the Uk *Sips Orange Juice*

  38. delroy March 20, 2011

    I like how ppl are saying that no one care for the UK well a lot of your artists seem to. Once again I’m going to use Pink, she got her first no1 over in Europe way before the states, she sells more outside the states. Plus I watched a programme where an American artist said that most American acts try to break into the Music industry before the states as it makes the Americans (dumb asses) take notice of them. And as for anything can get to the top, it’s called people that have a varied taste in music.

  39. Anthony March 20, 2011

    This is so good for her, I cannot even remember or know if she has ever had a number one hit song.

  40. Mike March 20, 2011

    The hilarious thing is…is that “Don’t Hold Your Breath” is a recycled song that was originally done by Keri Hilson & Timbaland. WAY to be original, Nicole.

  41. gianni March 20, 2011

    happy for her cos this song is a real good one.
    stop callin’ her flop as u see she’s not.

  42. ThatBoyLuke (AKA FUTURESTAR) March 20, 2011

    LOL i only caught a quick glimpse of the pic and i thought it was Alesha Dixon and it was gonna say she was dropped from her label 😛

    Congradulations to Nicole i actually really like “DHYB” it’s way better than “Poison” 😀

    To @Worship Mariah Or Die In Hell, you are so dumb, nobody cares about the UK? um… it’s the third biggest music market in THE WORLD after the US and Japan and i dunno about you but if i was a singer i’d rather be big in Japan & the UK and sell more than if i was just big in the states.
    There are tons of Japanese singers i love like that you’ve probably never heard of but it doesn’t change the fact that Utada Hikaru sold 45,000,000 or that Ayumi Hamasaki sold 75,000,000 and is worth like $400,000,000 lol

    Ignorance is not bliss, #Siddown

  43. royalkev March 20, 2011

    Congrats Nicole. I actually like that song! I’m glad she’s getting off to a decent start. I hope she continues to see similar success with the rest of her album. I miss PCD sometimes, but she was my favorite.

  44. wateva March 20, 2011

    yea, im sure b**** is number one on PAYPAL, too!

  45. Poisonous March 20, 2011

    I don’t see why everytime she makes sumthng out, people makes excuses. What if she dominates the US charts? Ag.. F*** u haters.. Especially LOLA..

  46. Poisonous March 20, 2011

    @thatboyluke.. True.. These h*** cant get the fact that shes actually making it. DHYB and Killer Love are both in the top 5 in Irish iTunes top 100 singles and Albums respectively. And now DHYB is #1 in the UK.. Stupidity reigns, especialy when coming to Nicole.. Wish Aryo was here to celebrate..:(

  47. That FLOP Juice March 21, 2011

    The USA is falling and falling.

    Even less and less people cares about it. Maybe it is still a cultural super power, but by now it is the property of China. Day by day less people take care about the USA (both politically and economically).

    It’s going to be a country just like the others…

    Wake up fellow US people… US is not the world, it is just a (small) part of the world.

  48. TomUK March 21, 2011

    Go ahead, slag the UK charts off – but there is no way Nicole will stay anywhere near the top 3 next week (my money’s on REAL talent Adele reclaiming the top). It’s a ‘flash-in-the-pan’ pop hit that she has promoted the s*** out of. Just like Kesha, Katy Perry and Rihanna did in 2010 when they had so many #1s between them on the ‘oh-so-varied-and-wonderful’ US Top 100… Full of yourselves, much? And don’t get me started on the amount of s***** country and urban filth you’ll help get to number one…

  49. i am a billy goat a.k.a. slimeshow bob March 21, 2011

    Oh please, you Brits must be high!!!LOL 🙂

    Its just sad that these generic songs storm the charts while meaningful music falls by the wayside!

  50. Blanco Family March 21, 2011

    a no.

  51. Blanco Family March 21, 2011

    a no.1 is a no.1 regardless of where u get it. so stop being mean and congratulate ms. scherzinger … what is the other dolls doing? exactly. where is melody?

  52. roundFOUR March 21, 2011

    Still a flop. Let me know when she gets a #1 on the US Billboard charts..after all, she is an American act. O_o

    And why are people coming on here saying that America isn’t a factor? I guess that’s why the UK and the rest of the world pratically bust nuts over our music acts..? Oops. Like it or not, its every artists dream to make it big in America.

  53. Blanco Family March 21, 2011

    @Roundfour no1s saying that about america yes she is an american act. but why disregard her sucess in other countries

  54. Taylor swifts number 1 fan March 21, 2011

    rebecca black for number 1!!!!!!!!

  55. asdf March 21, 2011

    @roundFOUR
    what you was really stupid yo.. so what if she is american!! …. she smashing in oversas thats huge.. some american aingers cant even break over in thoese other countries
    give nicole time she will smash here in the USA soon….i think that its good she has sucess overseas first… there are the hardest to crossover to anyways not the USA the trash that is topping the charts here is embarrassing!

  56. asdf March 21, 2011

  57. mark ginnis March 21, 2011

    Look uk success is something at least. The Uk kept Kelly Rowland afloat . True this is definitely Euro music but hey she is working.

  58. Poisonous March 21, 2011

    @roundFOUR lmao.. You’re really stupid.. Wow. But its good to know that there are shallow people like you out there.

  59. Did you know that March 21, 2011

    Bob the builder also had a number one hit

  60. Robier March 21, 2011

    Happy for her
