May 2023 marks 20 years since the release of Girls Aloud's debut album Sound of the Underground.
An LP that spawned four Top 5 singles - its title track, No Good Advice, Life Got Cold and Jump - it truly cemented the Popstars: The Rivals winners as a pop force to be reckoned with, and forged the start of their ongoing relationship with production powerhouse Xenomania.
Now, as Cheryl, Nadine Coyle, Nicola Roberts and Kimberley Walsh prepare to reissue the record with some previously-unreleased material, we've crunched the numbers to reveal the group's biggest songs in the UK.
From the criminally-underrated Long Hot Summer to melancholic masterpiece Call The Shots and the bonkers brilliance of Biology, we've fully updated the girls' Official Top 40 biggest tracks. But before we get into the complete list, let's take a closer look at the Top 5.
The group's cover of The Pointer Sisters' 1984 track Jump (For My Love) proved a huge success for Girls Aloud, peaking at Number 2 in November 2003. Recorded for inclusion in Christmas staple Love Actually, Jump has been streamed a total of 20.5 million times in the UK so far.
The second single lifted from Girls Aloud's fourth studio album Tangled Up, the sublime Call The Shots comes in third on the list. To date, Call The Shots has been streamed over 14.6 million times in the UK, and is also the group's second most-downloaded song behind The Promise (currently on 297,000 UK downloads).
Once wrongfully predicted by the group to be - in Nadine Coyle's own words - 'career suicide,' Love Machine is Girls Aloud's third biggest-seller to date. The second single lifted from their What Will The Neighbours Say? album boasts 39 million streams and 127,500 downloads in the UK.
