Girls Aloud is one of the most successful UK pop groups of the past decade.
The group was formed after winning reality TV talent show Popstars: The Rivals in 2002 and consists of Cheryl Cole (née Tweedy), Nadine Coyle, Sarah Harding, Nicola Roberts and Kimberley Walsh.

Their impressive CV includes two BRIT-Award nominations, a TMF award 18 consecutive Top 10 singles (three no.1s), and total record sales in the millions. As well as winning over a legion of fans and critics with their contemporary pop music, their good looks has earned them great adulation from males across Britain.
Formed as a result of a reality show inevitably leads to being labelled as manufactured - a tag the girls seem to brush off like water off a duck's back. They seem completely fine with it and are proud of their 'heritage'.

"They call it manufactured pop, as if that were something to be ashamed of - but we are a manufacturing country. Down our conveyor belts come cars, and shoes, and biscuits, and guns, and pop bands. Useful things and beautiful things. Things that make us go faster, and things that make us feel like we are going faster. Things that we love passionately for a day, and then throw away, and things that we love passionately for a day, and then keep forever."
In the six years since the formation of Girls Aloud, the group has released four studio albums and a 'greatest hits' collection - Sound of the Underground (2003), What Will The Neighbours Say? (2004), Chemistry (2005), The Sound of Girls Aloud (2006) and Tangled Up (2007).

The girls earned their first no.1 UK album with the The Sound of Girls Aloud in 2006, a 'greatest hits' anthology featuring the groups first fourteen singles plus a new track titled "Money". Their most recent effort, Tangled Up, is widely regarded as an unrelenting pop masterpiece and their best effort to date.
