After months of ample teasing and the debut of single ‘Something New’, Brit-Pop stars Girls Aloud have announced their comeback project, ‘Ten’. 

Details after the jump…

The aptly-titled set celebrates the group’s ten year tenure and will be marked with a new retrospective greatest hits collection (due November 26th), as well as a UK arena trek (christened ‘Ten – The Hits Tour’) which kicks off in Newcastle on Feburary 21st and wraps in Liverpool on March 20th 2013.

Check out the dates below…

The greatest hits LP (which’ll feature four new tracks), as expected, is preceded by ‘Something New’ which has been revealed as the unconventional choice for Children In Need. The ladies their first televised performance of the Xenomania cut will take place on the big fundraising show on November 16th, two days before the track’s iTunes release on November 18th. 

Comprised of Nadine Coyle, Cheryl Cole, Sarah Harding, Nicola Roberts, and Kimberly Walsh, Girls Aloud formed in 2002 on hit ITV series Pop Stars: The Rivals. Together they enjoyed an incredibly successful run – notching up 20 consecutive top ten singles between then and 2009 when they took a “break”. In the years since, each member has ventured into solo territory with varying results – Cheryl Cole, on the back of her X Factor exposure (vs her talent), being the most successful.
