Cheryl Cole has done it.
The Pop starlet has not only hit number one with new single ‘I Don’t Care’, she’s made UK chart history in the process.
Details below…
The track, which serves as the second single to be rolled out from her new album ‘Only Human’ (out tomorrow) debuted atop of the Official UK Singles Chart moments ago. In doing so, it becomes the performer’s fifth British chart-topper as a solo artist; a feat that sees The X Factor judge break a record.
For, she now holds the record for the most UK #1’s for a British female artist – topping Rita Ora and Geri Halliwell who she previously tied at four apiece.
Cole’s previous tracks to achieve the top spot are ‘Fight For This Love’ (2009), ‘Promise This’ (2010), ‘Call My Name’ (2012) and ‘Crazy Stupid Love’ which was released earlier this year. {Source}
*************
Justifiably, there is every reason to bemoan this. Because, while not Whitney Houston vocally, Cheryl makes for a great Pop star on paper and from a performance standpoint is wholly engaging. Yet, it’s disturbing to see her achieving back-to-back #1’s and breaking records with such rubbish songs.
From where we’re standing, this dents the credibility of the British charts deeply. But that’s just our two pence. What are…
Her one stan here will be very happy! Congrats.
but what stans or fans do Kelly have? if she had fans thaen she wouldn’t be a flop Cheryl has fans that actually have fans to buy her singles when will Kelly?
Remember when kelly charted at 45 w here I am?
Flop biitch!
Rihanna HAS sold over 300k in a single wk b4!! She sold exactly 306,107 copies of Loud in ONE week in the UK alone! And this wasn’t the first week, but the 4th/5thweek!!! #EVENBETTER
It’s irrelevant to this post but imma keep postin it til you bitter biitches come up w smthng else!

I luvvvve and livvvve for u #navy
Nobody gives a sh!t, you lifeless dork. 😆
Slay congratulations boo.. @CherylSolider yo b**** better make history!
This is cringeworthy news. Remember the days when the top 10 singles on a chart were a mix of really great songs that didn’t all sound like generic reductive nonsense?! Goodbye Felicia.
!!! Congrats. Im loooving the new album
Exactly who is she?
Someone prettier, more relevant, & richer than your basic built ass.
Has ‘Ciara’ sold 150K yet? Just asking 🙂
Ok Ms. Cherry I see you. I can’t hear you, but I see you. From unknown to breaking records.
Stan mark yaaas. Whora couldn’t give enough head. Calvin last c*m shot knocked her out
Oop!
She better SLAY tha UK…
Ok so my vision of Sam is very disturbing. His Ass is not in the right place. His face is his ass because all I vision is the difficulty he has looking in the right places because his Ass crack is where his eyes are. OH MY EYES. MY EYES….LOL
I love Cheryl but the quality of her music right now is way below her potential. ‘Crazy Stupid Love’ and ‘I Don’t Care’ don’t deserve to be mentioned in the same breathe as the first three #1 singles she had.
Def agree but listen to the album, it’s WAY better
Hmmm… Not keen on the song at all. I’d love it if Only Human were a single… Out of all 9 #1’s, I only like SOTU, FFTL and PT… There are certain GA songs that I wish were #1…
EMA’s in ONE hour!!!! Ariana and Iggy have arrived!!!
SO YOU NOT GONNA BE IN THE CROWD? RUMOR IS YOUR QUEEN WILL BE PEFORMING
I booked my fight out of the UK tonight anyways! She was number 4 on iTunes all week if we had the US system she would’ve never seen a number 1 beyond her debut. Anyways what is a number one when you can only stay there for a week. Watch ha freefall next week.
She was number one you dumb f**. I would know. That’s how she beat Ed who broke the streaming record. And it’s such a self drag coming from a britney stan. Honestly. The us let that trash 3 go to number 1 so sit your a$$ down and give my fave her credit.
Lol, number 2 was her iTunes peak she only got to number 1 from pre-order delaying the release for more than 2 months but ok well done Cheryl. She does have an incredible label and promotional campain. Don’t come for 3 it is a great song, people who don’t even understand English were singing it over the globe.
Asian virgin on stage doesn’t even know she’s singing about threesomes, Britney’s impact…

She was number ONE babe, until Thursday, with both versions in the top 4. You tried. She had 7 songs in the top 100 last week. 3 is a horrendous song, universally panned. So sit the f*ck down.
Damn broken link http://youtu.be/A8GXkv2pB0w
Billboard, Rolling Stone, Entertainment Weekly, About.com, Allmusic and MTV gave great reviews. I don’t know where 3 got panned, please tell us?
Who cares where it got panned? The point is that you come in a cheryl post to hate when your fave barely has any number 1 singles and none of them are classics, except for her first, looking at how long they stay on top IN THE US. And the kii is that they only go to number 1 BECAUSE OF DOWNLOADS. stop dragging your fave.
But you never answered my question tho…
why is a Kelly fan throwing shade at Cheryl when Kelly doesn’t sell singles or albums hell she’s not even signed to a label FLOPELLY FLOPLAND
But she’s huge in the UK… is what her fans say. #Welp
Bye! Kelly’s album sold 2k AFTER she was a judge on X factor. She is not big here.
Let me play some real pop gems! *plays Hold It Against Me*
EWW NOTHING BUT GENERIC DUB STEP TRASH
Ahhh I’m so happy for her. This really meant a lot to her. Not her strongest single, but to debut at number 1 with a second single is slaying!! The album is hot too! Hopefully whora keeps her lips from another d***.
Oh crap. The EMAs started at 8 but they’re airing it an hour behind time. Damn! So Arianas won Best Song, and 1D’s won Best Pop and Biggest Fans.
Watching it live on the website…
What songs did you like on the album?
I liked the Intro, It’s About Time, Waiting For Lightning, Only Human, All In One Night, Coming Up For Air and Fight On.
The first 10 songs flowed so well. Then there was that mess hello goodbye.
Yea. Wasn’t keen on that song
Ugh I’m so happy for her. She’s finally focused and happy. Potential U.S. attack?
Mmmm I dunno… She said that she had no desire of cracking America. Simon shouldn’t have fired her from the US XFactor though. She’s a good judge.
But that was 2012 when she said she needed a break. Maybe she’s changed her mind. Esp w this success
The kii is that almost all of Britney’s #1s last only a week at the top in the US SYSTEM. What kind of self drag??
Yeah the US system which takes many inputs to determine what is the most popular song at the moment. UK system is easy to manipulate anyone can get a number 1 with the right promotion. Cheryl’s proof.
I don’t think you have any logic tbh. 3 went to number one based off of US downloads. Only downloads. That trash was out of the top 10 in a week. Everything you say is a self drag. Bitter because your fave is the same age as mine but looks 15 years older. That asylum ages you. Did she get the lobotomy?
I know what I’m talking about. Without pre-order and with radio plays to added to the figures. Plus 3 went to 2 the following week. Stop lyingggg!
You don’t though. She was b-listed, and was on the top of the iTunes Charts until Thursday. Plus she has 2 versions in the top 4. How else would she get to number one when Ed set the streaming record? I literally k ow what I’m talking about. I’ve been following the chart numbers all week.
Nicki’s won Best Hip Hop!!!!
Why did you spoil s*** for the people who are watching on channel 5 now m
I’m watching it on Channel 5 too…. It’s not my damn fault they’re airing it an hour later… There’s always the MTV website…
OH MY GOD BEYONCE WON BEST SONG WITH A MESSAGE FOR PRETTY HURTS
Even though Pretty Hurts “flopped” it still won two f****** awards!!!!
Enrique has won Best World Stage.
Nicki performed a new song with Skylar Grey!!!
Still don’t know her music but she’s kind of hot, i do her 😀
Her first 3 songs on the album are madonna-esque. Definitely inspired.
I’ll check that 😀
Justin won Best Male, Linkin Park won Best Rock, 1D won Best Live
Damn Ariana won Best Female, 30 Seconds To Mars won Best Alternative, and Katy won Best Video and Best Look…
Where has this single charted in all the major music markets besides the UK such as France, Germany, Japan and the US? If you looked up “local star” in a dictionary you’d see Cheryl Cole’s face there.
Why are you coming for cheryl when your fave probably does local numbers too? If your fave promotes and tours in the UK, you need to stfu.
Sweetie don’t worry about my faves. They’re all too busy with their global careers, something Cheryl will never have.
Yet they probably have no number ones. Death.
Death at what? Your fave’s sales outside the UK? Her international career? I see Crazy Stupid Love made it to #172 in France. I guess at least she charted, even if she only sold about 10 copies.
