CherylOK, let's start big. Cheryl always had the highest profile of the ladies, with her presenting gig on The X Factor and marriage to Arsenal and Chelsea footballer Ashley Cole, and this also transferred to her solo career. Debut single Fight For This Love was the first of five chart-toppers, and even gave her a million-seller – something Girls Aloud never managed. Cheryl's five Number 1s mean she holds a chart record for the most Number 1 singles by a British female solo artist – tied with Jess Glynne. 10 Top 40 singles and four Top 40 albums – yeah, she's done OK. Second biggest song Call My Name, produced by Calvin Harris, has shifted 500,000 across all formats.Cheryl's Top 5:1 FIGHT FOR THIS LOVE2 CALL MY NAME3 CRAZY STUPID LOVE4 PROMISE THIS5 PARACHUTENadineSome might say Nadine was the voice of Girls Aloud. She would go into the studio without the other girls and lay down the guide vocals for most of their big hits and, famously, had already had a taste of reality TV stardom when she fibbed about her age on the Irish version of Popstars. Her solo career, launched in 2010, was met with bemusement when it was announced the album – named Insatiable, like the single – would be exclusive to Tesco. It was a brave move, but not entirely successful – it peaked at 47. The single did better, reaching Number 26.Nadine's Top 5:1 INSATIABLE2 I COULD BE (WITH SHANE FILAN)3 SWEETEST HIGH4 ENOUGH IS NEVER ENOUGH5 LITTLE MISS COMPLICATEDNicolaNicola was maybe the biggest solo surprise of the five, veering toward a cooler, edgier sound. Working with Diplo and Dragonette, among others, Nicola showed off her hitherto unknown songwriting skills on debut solo set Cinderella's Eyes, a hit with critics. First solo single Beat Of My Drum reached Number 27 and the album went Top 20 in 2011. Since then, she's focused on writing for other artists, has tried her hand at presenting, and had her own makeup range for a few years.Nicola's Top 5:1 BEAT OF MY DRUM2 LUCKY DAY3 YO-YO4 STICKS + STONES5 CINDERELLA'S EYESKimberleyKimba was Girls Aloud's all-rounder; she acted before her time in the band and has dabbled in different genres since the group went their separate ways. Her top song is a feature on Brazilian rapper's Aggro Santos' poppy banger Like U Like, which hit Number 8 in early 2011. Kimberley went more theatrical with her Centre Stage album in 2013, which featured covers of stage and screen classics, including second biggest song One Day I'll Fly Away. Her cover of Queen's One Vision with Alfie Boe was an official anthem of Team GB for the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, which took place in London.Kimberley's Top 5:1 LIKE U LIKE (WITH AGGRO SANTOS)2 ONE DAY I'LL FLY AWAY3 ONE VISION (WITH ALFIE BOE)4 FALLING SLOWLY5 EVERYBODY DANCE http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=204878

TODAY IN TAY: SECOND SINGLE, FIRST WEEK Taylor Swift's new "...Ready for It?" looks to be downloaded some 250-275k times in its first week. As an instant-grat track it will be deducted from pre-orders of Tay's reputation (due on 11/10 via Big Machine), meaning a first-week total in the neighborhood of 100k less. The song remains #1 at iTunes, Apple Music and Spotify U.S., #2 at Amazon and #3 Spotify Global.

After glitching and breaking just about every iTunes chart around, Friends has officially hit #1!!! Yet another major Thursday release. Interested to see whether he released it Thurs hoping it wouldn't go #1 stopping Despacito but I guess we'll find out!

Here's an updated look at the artists with the most consecutive weeks on the Hot 100 since the chart's Aug. 4, 1958, inception: Most Consecutive Weeks on Billboard Hot 100 431, Drake 326, Lil Wayne 216, Rihanna 207, Nicki Minaj 161, Chris Brown 159, JAY-Z 152, Nelly 141, Kenny Chesney 139, Destiny's Child 139, Katy Perry 139, Taylor Swift http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/7905015/drake-hot-100-record-431-weeks-2009

If these two hits didn't spend 12 and 14 weeks atop, here's how the #1s would have shaped up: italics is where Shape of You was #1 Bold is where Despacito was #1 JAN7 | Starboy JAN14 | Black Beatles JAN21 | Bad and Boujee JAN28 | Bad and Boujee FEB4 | Bad and Boujee FEB11 | Bad and Boujee FEB18 | Bad and Boujee FEB25 | Bad and Boujee MAR4 | I Don't Wanna Live Forever MAR11| Bad and Boujee MAR18| Bad and Boujee MAR25| Bad and Boujee APR1 | That's What I Like APR8 | That's What I Like APR15 | That's What I Like APR22 | Humble APR29 | That's What I Like MAY6 | Humble MAY13 | That's What I Like MAY20 | I'm The One MAY27 | That's What I Like JUN3 | That's What I Like JUN10 | That's What I Like JUN17 | That's What I Like JUN24 | That's What I Like JUL1 | I'm The One JUL8 | I'm The One JUL15 | I'm The One JUL22 | I'm The One JUL29 | Wild Thoughts AUG5 | Wild Thoughts AUG12 | Wild Thoughts AUG19 | Wild Thoughts Where things get really interesting is when you remove all the #1s, you get a super dynamic chart.

Curtain Call: The Hits, has now been on the Billboard Top 200 chart for 350 weeks, making it the longest-charting rap album of all time. http://www.rap-up.com/2017/08/02/eminem-curtain-call-becomes-longest-charting-hip-hop-album-ever/ Congrats to a Legend.

The band has met with great success after touring and playing festivals all across the globe since they first launched their career back on 2009, after a member change on 2011 where two of the members left the band and current drummer Josh Dun joined, they've only become more and more successful, creating a hardcore fanbase as a result from their non-stopping touring, which made their second label release ''Blurryface'' debut number one on the Billboard 200 chart back on 2015 without any hit at all. Nothing was the same after that, later that year they released their smashing, Grammy award winning single ''Stressed Out'' and the hits ''Ride'' and ''Heathens'', they had a sold out arena (and occasionally stadium) tour that visited North and South America, Europe and Oceania, with over 230 played shows. After finishing the album cycle with 5 sold out shows in different venues at their hometown of Columbus, Ohio to celebrate the success, they are expected to release the follow-up to 2015's ''Blurryface'' in late 2017 or early 2018. The duo also received 5 Grammy Award nominations earlier this year, they have definitely stablished themselves as one of the hottest acts and some of the best performers of our generation, here are some more of their impressive chart accomplishments: Almost every single track on twenty one pilots' Blurryface has an official RIAA certification, Gold or Platinum, their label debut 'Vessel' is a similar case, in which 6 of 12 album tracks have scanned Gold or Platinum as well. They made history on the Hot Rock Songs chart by dominating the top 3 positions with their singles Stressed Out, Ride and Heathens. They dominated the chart for more than 59 consecutive weeks with three different songs. Vessel **Platinum (1M units sold)** #21 Peak on Billboard 200 (currently on #126 after 154 weeks of charting) 1. Ode to Sleep **Gold (500k units sold)** 2. Holding On to You **Platinum (1M units sold)** 3. Migraine **Gold (500k units sold)** 4. House of Gold **Platinum (1M units sold)** 5. Car Radio **Platinum (1M units sold)** 6. Semi-Automatic 7.

Stressed Out **6x Platinum (6M units sold)** #2 Peak on Billboard Hot 100 3. Ride **4x Platinum (4M units sold)** #5 Peak on Billboard Hot 100 4. Fairly Local **Gold (500k units sold)** #84 Peak on Billboard Hot 100 5. Tear In My Heart **Platinum (1M units sold)** #82 Peak on Billboard Hot 100 6. Lane Boy **Gold (500k units sold)** 7. The Judge **Gold (500k units sold)** 8. Doubt **Gold (500k units sold)** 9. Polarize **Gold (500k units sold)** 10. We Don't Believe What's On TV 11. Message Man **Gold (500k units sold)** 12. Hometown 13. Not Today 14. Goner SUICIDE SQUAD **Platinum (1M units sold)** Heathens **5x Platinum (5M units sold)** #2 Peak on Billboard Hot 100 Vessel has been streamed almost one billion times on Spotify, Blurryface more than two billion times. It is also worth noting that they are completely in charge and involved with their music and sound, all of their songs are written by Tyler Joseph, the lead vocalist himself, which was named the top songwriter of 2016, above hit-makers like Max Martin, he is also always the co-producer on every single track, only sharing credits with one or two more people at most.

Their third studio album, "EVOLVE" is now certified Gold according to RIAA. I believe this is their fastest certified album to date. Thoughts?
