Girls Aloud's talented member Nadine Coyle has missed out on a top 20 single this week. Her single Insatiable entered the official chart at Number 26 today. Which is quite a good position considering her lack of radio airplay.
So, does this mean that popularity plays a massive part in music sales? Has Nadine suffered the backlash caused by rumours claiming she is involved in a feud with Cheryl Cole and the rest of Girls Aloud?
It certainly has not helped in her bid for solo success. Xfactor judge Cheryl Cole grabbed the number one slot last week due to a huge performance on the Sunday night results show ahead of its release.
Cheryl's Promise This is just as good as Nadine's Insatiable so maybe if Girls Aloud were still going strong she would have the backing of GA fans.
Adding fuel to the fire Cheryl is set to have the number one album this week. So the battle for success really comes down to Popularity vs Talent. And since when has talent mattered when the fame brings success on its own.
Hopefully fans are waiting for Nadine's album release and will snap that up.
Have your say on this and comment below. Do you think Nadine would have had more success if Girls Aloud were still around?
