CHERYL COLE HAS 2012 FASTEST SELLING UK SINGLE

Cheryl Cole may not have been able to make a big impact in the US after being let go from X Factor, but the British lass is certainly kicking ass in the UK. Her new single, Call My Name, is likely to debut at #1 next week and after only three days of availability has already sold 97,000 copies!! This gives Cole's song the fastest selling first week of 2012 in the UK, and she still has until Sunday to get her grand total! If CMN wants to have the BIGGEST first week hall it'll have to beat out Gary Barlow's Sing, which sold 142,000. Also, if Call My Name reaches the top slot, it'll be the third time Cheryl's reached the peak with the first single from an album. That's a 100% average! 2009's Fight For This Love from Three Words and 2010's Promise This from Messy Little Raindrops also found their way to the top of the charts in the UK. While Call My Name is nowhere near the quality of her first singles, nor was her last album anywhere close to the amazingness of her first, I don't begrudge Cheryl her Calvin Harris moment. Even if it does sound A LOT like all the other Calvin Harris moments of this past year. She is working it though. Go, Cheryl!! You don't need us Americans anyway!
