Cheryl Cole has gone straight to Number One in the UK albums chart tonight (November 7) with ‘Messy Little Raindrops’.
It is the second time the Girls Aloud singer and X Factor judge has hit the top spot with a solo album after her debut LP ’3 Words’ went to Number One last year.
However, she was denied a UK chart double by Rihanna, whose latest track ‘Only Girl (In The World)’ replaced Cole’s Promise at Number One in the singles chart.
Rihanna has now scored a Number One in each of the last four years after hitting the top spot with ‘Umbrella’ (2007), ‘Take A Bow’ (2008) and ‘Run This Town’ (2009), according to the Official Charts Company.
There were four new entries in the albums chart top 10, including Bon Jovi at Number 2 with ‘Greatest Hits’ and Rumer’s ‘Seasons Of My Soul’ at Number 3.
In the singles chart, Alexis Jordan went in at Number 3 with ‘Happiness, while The Saturdays featuring Flo Rida moved up to Number 10 with ‘Higher’.
I love that title, “Messy Little Raindrops”. You kind of want to say, “Erm, no luv, those were rain drops. You must’ve missed that day of school.”
