Girls Aloud are a British Irish pop girl group in London. They were created through the ITV1 talent show Pop stars The Rivals in 2002. The group consists of Nadine Coyle, Cheryl Cole,Nicola Roberts,Kimberley Walsh and Sarah Harding.Girls aloud group achieved a string of two number one albums in the United Kingdom and twenty consecutive top ten singles. All of their albums have been certified platinum, with their albums Out of Control both and The Sound of Girls Aloud selling over one million copies through out the world. They have been nominated for ‘five Brit’ Awards, winning the 2009 Best Single for “The Promise”.
The female winners of Pop Stars: The Rivals turned out to be tough cookies who, as promised, sent the boy winners packing with a combination of girl-gang iciness and 1960s-influenced pop.
The first singles, Sound of the Underground and No Good Advice, were unsentimental and addictive, and the girls themselves opinionated in a way that belied their manufactured beginnings. British chart-pop once excelled at producing hits with lots of style and just enough substance to get by, and Girls Aloud are a return to these values.
