Cheryl Cole's debut solo single 'Fight For This Love' is on course to be the fastest-selling single of the year so far.

According to midweek sales, the song shifted 134,000 copies in just 24 hours and has surpassed first day sales of Alexandra Burke's number one 'Bad Boys' last week.

Burke sold a total of 187,100 copies of her single over the seven-day period, making it the current fastest seller of the year.

"This will be second successive week of massive single sales - led by Cheryl. Her first days sales are just amazing and put her in pole position to top the Official Singles Chart on Sunday," Official Charts Company's Martin Talbot said.

"Together with Alexandra Burke, she is likely to set the sales standard by which everyone will be judged for the rest of the year, in the run-up to Christmas."

More than 14 million viewers tuned in to watch Cole perform the track on The X Factor on Sunday.

Cole releases her debut solo album Three Words on Monday.

Cheryl Cole denies No.1-to-be Fight For This Love is a 'rip-off' of a Kelis song

Cheryl Cole might be well on her way to securing her first number one solo single, but music fans have raised doubts about the originality of her track.
The Girls Aloud singer’s Fight For This Love, which she performed on last Sunday's X Factor, is the top track on iTunes and expected to topple Alexandra Burke's Bad Boys this weekend.
But music fans and even professional music reviewers have pointed out that the melody of the song’s verse - and the beat underneath - are almost identical to the 2007 hit Lil Star, by American-born Kelis, which reached No.3.


Cheryl's people knocked down the allegations today but some who have listened to the two songs back-to-back on sites such as YouTube say that until the chorus kicks in, the two tracks seem to be catchily similar.

One, calling herself Ali1998, wrote: 'It was the first thing I thought of when I heard it and ran off to play Lil Star immediately to everyone in the room.
'My daughter exclaimed, "it’s exactly the same!" I wonder if she realises this or it’s subliminal.'
Another, Chief Wahoo, said: 'I had no idea that it was even Cheryl Cole. But Lil Star by Kelis just kept going through my head.'
An anonymous poster added: 'Pretty much the entire song is a re-sampled version of Lil Star, just with new lyrics and a dancey break.'

Freelance music reviewer Alex Macpherson told the Mail Online that he agreed that the two tracks were alike.

He added: 'It has the same chord progression as K-Ci and Jojo's 'All My Life' too.

'It is kind of a generic mishmash of better R 'n' B songs. Plus Cheryl is no Kelis vocally - it is thin and characterless rather than soulful and husky.'

But many Cheryl fans have leapt to her defence, and argued that any similarities were slight.

'DennisHxC' said: 'It's not the same song, period. It's impossible nowadays to make an absolute unique song because practically everything has been done already.'
And another, calling himself Chunkyboyskinny, said: 'Its not really Cheryl that's copied this - the beat sounds similar but that's to do with the producer.'
Cheryl’s spokesman today defended the accusations, saying: 'There are no similarities.'
The song was written by American Andre Merritt, who has previously worked with Rihanna.

But the accusations will still sting Cheryl, as her debut single was already attacked for 'borrowing' ideas from other artists.

Cheryl Cole may be rocketing to Number One on the British pop charts with what looks set to become the biggest selling single of 2009 but it's not all solo joy in the mock Tudor mansion of this particular footballer's wife. Because "Fight For This Love", the song which is currently taking the UK by storm, today stands accused of being a rip-off of a 2007 track from Kelis, entitled "Lil Star".

In the aftermath of her explosive and contentious "live" performance on this weekend's "X-Factor", music fans have been up-in-arms online about the apparent similarities. Joining the furore, Ali1998 insisted: "It was the first thing I thought of when I heard it and ran off to play ‘Lil Star' immediately to everyone in the room. My daughter exclaimed: ‘It's exactly the same!'" Chief Wahoo wrote: "I had no idea that it was even Cheryl Cole. But ‘Lil Star' by Kelis just kept going through my head", while an anonymous poster insisted: "Pretty much the entire song is a re-sampled version of ‘Lil Star', just with new lyrics and a dancey break".

But it doesn't end there. Oh no. Other allegations about Cole's solo bow are aimed squarely at the video. Some claim a tiled wall featured at one point is a direct steal from Dannii Minogue's "Put The Needle On", while others suggest her outfits have been variously pinched from Lady GaGa and dismal "X-Factor" girl band/pole-dancing troupe Kandy Rain. In an age when producers are working across acts on an international remit, Cheryl's people are adamant the musical allegations are a non-story. "There are no similarities", said a spokesman, despite the almost identikit melody line.
