Scherzinger Soars On UK Singles Chart

Published: Monday 14th Mar 2011 by Sam

If her current sales are anything to go by, Nicole Scherzinger will have much cause for celebration this week. For, the Pop vixen’s latest single ‘Don’t Hold Your Breath’ is on-course to be a bonafide smash on the Official UK Singles Chart.

Full story below…

Released merely 14 hours ago, the Dave Aude produced cut has hit the top spot on iTunes UK, with an ever-increasingly lead over her nearest rivals The Wanted – who sit at #2 on the tally with their Comic Relief single ‘Gold Forever’.

———————

Regardless of whether ‘Breath’ hits #1 or not this Sunday (which it almost certainly will), its high charting is yet another coup for the former Pussycat Doll. For, in recent months she has risen above the backlash from her time in the group, not to mention above the disaster that was her first (and ultimately shelved) project – ‘Her Name Is Nicole’.

It goes to show, all she needed was solid material. She’s always had a decent enough push.

How things will pan out for her back in the States will be interesting to see.

‘Don’t Hold Your Breath’ is lifted from Scherzinger’s sophomore effort ‘Killer Love’ – which is released exclusively in Europe on March 22nd. The set also features the RedOne produced ‘Poison’, which peaked at #3 here in the UK last December.

  5. DHYB March 14, 2011

    Nicole hasn’t released ANYTHING to the US this era yet so, how does that make a her flop?? She threw the almighty Adele off of her #1 spot. Your comments are invalid, haters.

  6. ThatBoyLuke (AKA FUTURESTARdelux) March 14, 2011

    I was never a big fan of Nicole and still don’t like the way she treated the other girls in the band but she seems more suited to being a solo singer and less of a b**** because of it.
    In fact i kind of like her a bit now lol, congrats to her 😀

    P.S @Judge&Jury how can she be flopping in the US when she hasn’t released anything from this album there yet? #HATER

  7. Aryooo March 14, 2011

    why non of my comments are showing up b******?

  8. Roab March 14, 2011

    I’m going to start the week off right….I’m glad she has a hit. She really does work her tush off! She is talented…I’m glad somebody that is not auto-tuned to the gods have a hit.

  9. A.R.Y.O March 14, 2011

  10. Hell No March 14, 2011

    The wonderful power of the X Factor.

  11. A.R.Y.O March 14, 2011

    well said @roab, she never uses autotune!
    and thanx to LUKE aka future star for supporting nic!

  12. YOOS March 14, 2011

    Ah, well done Nicole! Your amazing! glad your doing well! If this is what ‘flopping’ is then whatever!

  13. A.R.Y.O March 14, 2011

    #DHYB was trending 2 days ago when nic was having a live chat with fans!
    she even answered me and wished me a happy bday! that was awesome! 😀

  14. GangsterA March 14, 2011

  15. A.R.Y.O March 14, 2011

    ppl keep buying #DHYB till the end of the next week to make it her first uk #1 single!

  16. JJFAN1814 March 14, 2011

    She’s another Kelly Rowland…Won’t be successful as a solo act in the U.S. and was only successful with a girl group in the U.S.

    But she goes to the U.K. where she is popular.

  17. Nick March 14, 2011

    She was mean to the dolls karma will eat her! Yuk no one cares for her in the states sorry bio boo

  18. Maria March 14, 2011

    THATBOYLUKE exactly how did she treat the other girls in the group? You obviously have no idea and choose to believe what the papers always print… Anyways, finally the talent that is Nicoles Scherzinger is being appreciated.

  19. royalkev March 14, 2011

    I always liked Nicole. She’s pretty, has a lot of talent. She’s deserving of her success. I just hope that she finds some in the states here as well. I like this song a lot, but some of her other songs were just really awful. If she does get the right material, she will be huge – like a new Jlo!

    *Updated*ThePagewithroyalkev.b*******.com(…Still a place for EVERYTHING! )

  20. Bubbles March 14, 2011

    Don’t really like Nicole, but I can’t even hate on this song cos I downloaded it and it’s receiving serious plays on my iTunes.

  21. lola March 14, 2011

    WOW BIG WHOOP! Everyone knows that sales in small countries or areas like the UK have much lesser sales than bigger ones like the US. What did she sell, 20,000? The UK is definitely not popping when it comes to success. Didn’t Alexandra Burke have major success over there… where is she now? Nowhere! Nicole was nothing but a b**** in PCD and even showcased that in her arrogant interviews. She’s a flop and I don’t hear her doing it big all around the globe.

  22. A.R.Y.O March 14, 2011

    sit yo irty ass down lola!
    ur always hatin for no reason! grow up!

  23. A.R.Y.O March 14, 2011
