Good news for Cheryl, Alexandra, Whitney
Published Tuesday, Oct 20 2009, 11:21 BST | By Nick Levine | 24 comments
Actually it's pretty incredible news for Cheryl, as you'll find out below.
'Fight For This Love' has already shifted more than 130,000 copies - the highest first day sales of the year so far.
Alexandra's 'Bad Boys' has been relegated to second, with Chipmunk's 'Oopsy Daisy' completing the top three.
Following her rather revealing X Factor performance, Whitney's 'Million Dollar Bill' has zoomed into the top five.
The Young Soul Rebels, meanwhile, are right behind her with 'I Got Soul'.
Cobra Starship's 'Good Girls Go Bad' is on course for a top 15 debut, while Alphabeat's 'The Spell' is just inside the top 20.
Over on the albums chart, Burkey's on top and outselling Michael Bublé by two to one. Whitney's right behind them in third.
So, did anyone else say something unprintable on a family website when they saw Chezza's sales figures?

It is truly the day the music died if FFTL can sell so much and outdo even Robbie.The song stink and is not well produced or sung. Please no more Cheryl you are truly crap.

I find it astonishing,that anyone is actually buying Cheryl Coles single. She cannot sing,she mimed,her performance was pathetic,at least Whitney Houston sang live,she nailed her song,Cheryl did'nt. Alexandra deserves to stay no.1,but unfortunately,due to XFactor,for Cheryl she won't.Pathetic!!

Dean, I am not a fan of cheryl's song, but her 'attack' on the twins was totally justified. They are terrible, and should have been voted out by now.

So glad Cobra and Alphabeat are in the top 20. Here's hoping Cobra can get higher there and awesome band. I love Cheryl (and though she put on a great performance on Sunday) but her song is terrible. Really don't think she deserves number 1

It looks like that Cheryl Cole is going to be number one for next week's singles chart knocking off her finalist winner Alexandra Burke. But it will be almost a year since she was at number one with the band Girls Aloud with 'The Promise' and giving them the girls' fourth concestuive chart-topper and a number one album. I hope Alexandra Burke gets the number one album, Michael Buble is on The X Factor this weekend.

Please stop this awful song getting to No 1 what has happened to peoples taste in music FFTL is crap.I am sure her performance on X-factor proved she cannot sing and her CD is worse.

I am truly shocked that so many people have wasted money on Cheryls song.It is truly one of the worst songs of the year and it is a disgrace that someone so talentless is going to be No 1.It would not surprise me if her record company were not buying up copies.

Congrats to Cheryl! I read on Yahoo! that she's already shifted 200,000 copies and that's pretty amazing! Well done to her! I'm not particularly surprised, to be honest though. I'm glad 'I Got Soul' is doing well but 'The Spell' is an absolutely brilliant pop song and needs to get into the Top 10 at least! Grr

I can't believe so many people are buying it. She sounded like a dying bird on Sunday evening! And she showed her foul personality with her attack on John and Edward on Saturday! The woman is horrid!

Sorry, but is anyone listening to the same song as me? Cheryl Cole's effort really is pretty poor with really corny lyrics - as I read elsewhere, its a bit like something Victoria Beckham used to churn out. Extremely surprised by its success - can anything stop the x-factor bandwagon?

I'm sure Cheryl will have over 200,000 sales by the end of the week. Happy Alphabeat are top 20 but would like them to climb to top 15 at least. Hopefully Million Dollar Bill's success will convince Radio 1 and 2 to playlist her, MDB is brilliant.

Wowzers, 130,000 on the first day?! That's pretty spectacular... be interesting to see how much it gets by the end of the week. Did Bleeding Love even sell that much in one day?
