IT’S THE GIRLS!

They follow in the footsteps of Robbie Williams, Bob The Builder and Mr Blobby...

GIRLS ALOUD, the manufactured pop group spawned from a television show are the Christmas Number One for 2002 with ‘SOUND OF THE UNDERGROUND’.

The girl group, who came together via the ITV talent show ‘Popstars: The Rivals’, have beaten an all-boy group from the same show. One True Voice’s ‘Sacred Trust’ / ‘After You’re Gone’ is the second highest new entry at Number Two.

A third ‘Popstars…’ related act, the Transylvanian twins the Cheeky Girls are this week’s Number Three with ‘Cheeky Song (Touch My Bum)’.
