Brit Goddess Cheryl Cole Scores UK Chart Double and US Record Deal


http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2009/10/18/article-1221270-06DFD05F000005DC-879_306x708.jpgIt must be really good to be Cheryl Cole right now.

The Girls Aloud member and X Factor judge has proven her weight as a solo artist, scoring the elusive chart double on the UK music charts. Her debut single "Fight For This Love" tops the singles chart for a second week, staving off competition from boyband Westlife. Their new single, a cover of Daughtry's "What About Now", came in at #2. Meanwhile, months ahead of its release, Cheryl's second single "3 Words" comes in at #26.

On the albums chart, Cheryl tops with her first effort 3 Words, selling over 125,000 copies. Her album beat out competition from Canadian crooner Michael Buble and Michael Jackson's movie soundtrack, which come in at #2 and #3 respectively.

Not all of the news is good, though. The UK press has savaged Cheryl Cole's outfit at Saturday's X Factor show.

Then again, with a chart double, I doubt she really cares.

UPDATE: According to British tabloid News of the World, Cheryl has signed a US record deal with Interscope Records to release 3 Words. The lead single will reportedly be UK second single "3 Words" featuring Black Eyed Peas frontman Will.i.am.
