The Official Girls Aloud Thread

[♥ you!]

I've canceled my order of the regular version and preorderd the deluxe instead, sorry girls I don't love you that much!

and has Girls Aloud done any promo or even held a concert outside of the UK? Cause most of their singles chart pretty decently in other European countries and even some Asian ones.

I know it said snippets, but I hope there's some full versions of at least a couple of the demos.

That's awesome! And yeah, I really hope it has full songs too. Snippets would be so...disappointing. I think it will though, the second disc of Sound of Girls Aloud had all full songs so I think they'd at least have some on this.

[Re:★]

Is this the special edition? I really want this for Christmas! I could wait until it's out in December and just buy it from HMV but I don't want to risk not having it!

^ I believe so, Austin.

I got Dreams That Glitter yesterday and I'm already on pg. 180-something. it's a very quick, easy read, but also very entertaining! it was interesting reading about all the stuff that went on during Popstars, Cheryl's hard childhood, the dynamics of the group at the beginning, etc.

I would've probably finished this last night, but I ended up going out. I'll have it finished by Monday, at least lolz.

Yeah austin, thats it
I pre-ordered it today!
I'm so excited!!!!!! Especially since the special edition cover is actually good, unlike the regular edition..
I also ordered the TU Tour!

"The Promise" is no. 2 this week, and sold 68,015 copies, bringing its total to 145,125 in just two weeks.

Curse being a poor college student I really want to buy the special edition and book and...everything really (I unfortunately own no physical GA stuff). I could technically buy some of this stuff, but I need to save my money like it's no one's business.

That said...It took me a couple listens to get into OoC. It's more mature sounding than their other stuff, but some of the songs are really B-side material. I like the album, but I think they could have done a little better.

I agree...but I have to say, "The Loving Kind" is amazing.

"Out Of Control" is no. 1 in the midweeks, and has sold 25,943 copies. in just one day, they've outsold the first weeks of both the Sugababes and The Satz albums. "Girls A Live" is no. 27 and sold 3,044 copies, and that's only being sold by Woolworths.

also, "The Promise" is still at no. 2 in the mids, and has sold another 19,234. they're beating Britney, Christina and Beyonce so far!

[bernardation]

I can't describe how happy I am right now!!!!!
I shouldn't bother some much about sales but I just can't help myself, lol

[bondingo]

I"m so happy for them, but I won't get my hopes up until we know that they got number one for the entire week. So I'm really hoping that'll happen.

[Kaiouforever]

Wow they are doing great in sales! Good job girls

[drewbilation]

"Out Of Control" is still no. 1 in the mids and has sold just under 50k so far. "The Promise" is no. 3 still and has sold 31k.

[Cyria]

I just read that Out of Control has become their first original #1 album. Since I'm so happy with the album, it feels good to know that other people are liking this sound too.

[drewbilation]

^ yep, it's no. 1 and sold 85,670 copies. Kimba was interviewed about it on Radio 1 and said "Rolling Back The Rivers In Time" would be a single.

also, "The Promise" is no. 3 and sold another 53,745 copies. its total sales are just shy of 200k now.

[p3ayu]

I'm sooo happy that the album is #1!!! The girls deserve this like it's nobodies business. Hopefully they'll win a Brit soon. That would be the icing on the cake. It's really cool that they're still so popular I love Rolling Back the Rivers in Time so I'd be really happy for it to be a single.

[milky_way]

Congrats to them for getting no. 1!!! Now that the album has grown on me, I'm hoping that Revolution in the Head or Turn To Stone are singles.

[bondingo]

It goes without saying that I'm ecstatic about them getting number one for the first time with a studio album. I'm glad The Promise continues to sell really well also. I can't wait until I get my copy of Out Of Control so I can finally hera these songs.

[bernardation]

wooow, 'rolling back the rivers in time' is great!
it has a christmasy feeling, so maybe that influenced their decision
