Cheryl Cole's debut solo single

I can kinda see what they mean about Lil Star.

gonna give the album a listen this weekend

How will this get to number 1? have people taken leave of their senses and forgotten what real talent and music sounds like? or have people been brainwashed by all these reality shows that are around?

its only going to number 1 cos its "her", if it was anyone else I don't think it would have had the same success.

Thats a shame :(

my daughter keeps playing that parachute song! she loves it but to me it's just out of tune rubbish that keeps repeating its self:wall:

Number 1 today guarenteed.

Yep, she has it in the bag.

Tell me the bad news is she number 1?

Cheryl Cole's solo debut has become the fastest-selling single of the year.

'Fight For This Love' sold more than 290,000 copies in its first week on release to beat 2009's previous seven-day best - set by Alexandra Burke's 'Bad Boys' last week - by over 100,000 units.

"I'm just getting over the fact I have recorded my solo record and now it's number one," Cole told the Official Chart Company. "I can't take this all in. It's hard for me to put into words how I feel. I have this permanent smile on my face."

Behind Cole, Burke's 'Bad Boys' slips to two, while Chipmunk's 'Oopsy Daisy' holds steady at three.

Meanwhile, Whitney Houston climbs from 14 to five with 'Million Dollar Bill' following her performance on The X Factor last week.

Young Soul Rebels - a collective featuring Tinchy Stryder, Pixie Lott and N-Dubz among others - debut at ten with 'I Got Soul', a single released in aid of the War Child charity.

Olly Murs and Jamie Archer have performed a cover of Cheryl Cole's number one single 'Fight For This Love'.

The duo, who are in Simon Cowell's Over-25s category, have been filmed playing the track at the X Factor house.

"We are going to do a live lounge. This is going to be a new version of 'Fight For This Love' by Cheryl Cole. This is for you Cheryl," says Murs. Archer plays acoustic guitar on the track and joins Murs for the chorus and backing vocals.

Midway through the performance, Murs changes the lyrics to: "We're sitting here in the Over-25s room, chilling out with Cheryl Cole... outside there's loads of fans screaming, 'We love the Afro man'."

Archer also attempts to imitate the dance routine Cole performed on The X Factor results show two weeks ago.

X Factor continues next Saturday on ITV1, when the final nine contestants will be performing with a Rock Week theme.
