Biografia

British TV has been full of talent shows in recent years, and the winners always manage to have a single and an album place highly in the charts. After that, many of them seem to disappear back into obscurity, but Will Young and Girls Aloud have been the most successful in carving out pop careers that last a bit longer. Girls Aloud have become one of the most sucessful British pop group of the decade, with 16 consecutive Top 10 hits including four chart-toppers: "Sound of the Underground", "The Show", "I'll Stand By You" and "Walk This Way" (with the Sugababes). Although the media spotlight is constantly kept on them by virtue of their looks, their music has also been highly praised by many critics who may be expected to dislike manufactured pop, such as writers for the NME and The Observer newspaper.
