Well, the first midweek charts are in and it's good news for Girls Aloud. 'The Promise', as performed on Saturday's X Factor, is currently outselling its nearest rival, Pink's 'So What', by two-to-one. Razorlight's newbie, 'Wire To Wire', is also likely to chart in the top five.Though much is made of the group's impressive chart record - each of their 18 previous singles cracked the top ten - Girls Aloud haven't hit the top spot that often. To date they've only scored three number ones - 'Sound Of The Underground', 'I'll Stand By You' and 'Walk This Way' - and only the first of those was an original song.So while 'The Promise' isn't the group's best single - whichever way you look at it, it's no 'Biology' or 'Love Machine' - it's pretty impressive that their popularity still seems to be growing as they approach their eighth year. But will the girls still be number one come Sunday? Well, see what Cheryl Cole's mood is like on Saturday night and then make an educated guess.
