"They have also received unprecedented (for a pop group) praise from the 'serious' music press" - i would argue with the use of the word unprecedented, since pop groups such as the human league, abc etc. got high praise in the 80s and furthermore groups such as destinys child were widely admired by nme at the turn of the century. whether you call them r'n'b or not. ] 15:45 11 March 2006 (don_quixote)

Sound Of The Underground, the single, was released on December 16th 2002.
The album of the same name followed on May 26th 2003.
A re-issued version of the album was released on December 1st 2003.

Polish chart peaks?

Where from they come, pOland doesn't have any singles chart, only radio charts, airplay charts and TV charts that doesn't coun tthe low sales of singles, just SMS votes.

Which Girl Aloud?

Help identify these members of Girls Aloud please. First off the easy ones I got, the ginger one and the blonde one:

and the ones I don't, one brunette, two highlighted "blondes", and they all look the same. Take your pic from Cheryl Tweedy, Nadine Coyle and Kimberley Walsh

  • Girl Aloud 1 Girl Aloud 1
  • Girl Aloud 2 Girl Aloud 2
  • Girl Aloud 3 Girl Aloud 3

(all images are on the commons, so could you note the results there please.). I think I must be showing my age. Cheers. Dunc| 00:51, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

1 is Cheryl (or Ashley Cole's bit of fluff)
2 is Kimberley
3 is a really bad picture of Nadine, seemingly sans makeup.
I've answered here as well, in case I've not put the name in the right place on the commons (as I never use it). And the ginger one is the best. Proto t c 10:41, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
Actually I'm pretty sure you've got 1 and 3 the wrong way round. Will you take another looks please. Theresa Knott (a tenth stroke) 20:58, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
Compare with their pictures on their CBBC profile - I'm pretty sure they're the right way round. Proto t c 08:40, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
Afraid you are wrong. 1=Nadine (roundish face), 2=Cheryl (eyes), 3=Kimberley (dark hair). If you need a source then: PTSE 16:41, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

ANSWER

  • Nadine Coyle Nadine Coyle
  • Cheryl Tweedy Cheryl Tweedy
  • Kimberley Walsh Kimberley Walsh

English-Northern Irish

Girls Aloud are listed as "a English-Irish pop girl group" however Nadine Coyle is from Derry in Northern Ireland. They are officially recognised as independent, separate, countries and so for the sake of accuracy it should probably be English-Northern Irish 82.8.194.226 (talk) 01:50, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
