Girls Aloud

Girls Aloud is a record-breaking English-Irish girl group formed on November 30, 2002, through the ITV talent show Popstars: The Rivals. Comprising Cheryl, Nadine Coyle, Sarah Harding, Nicola Roberts, and Kimberley Walsh, the group redefined British pop with a signature experimental sound produced by Xenomania, achieving 20 consecutive UK top-ten singles and two number-one albums before their initial split in 2013. Following the tragic death of Sarah Harding in 2021, the remaining members reunited for "The Girls Aloud Show" in 2024, which became the year’s largest UK arena tour and a celebration of Harding's legacy. As of 2026, the group remains active through an extensive 20th-anniversary reissue campaign, including deluxe releases of albums like Chemistry (2025) and their first standalone holiday album, Christmas 'Round at Ours (2025), which feature previously unreleased tracks and newly discovered vocals from Harding.
