Cheryl

Cheryl Ann Tweedy rose to prominence in 2002 when Girls Aloud formed through ITV's Popstars: The Rivals reality competition. The girl group went on to amass 20 consecutive UK top ten singles—including four number ones—two UK number one albums, and five consecutive platinum-selling studio albums, earning five Brit Award nominations and winning Best Single for "The Promise" in 2009, cementing their status as the United Kingdom's best-selling girl group of the 21st century by 2012. While still performing with the group, Cheryl launched a solo career in April 2009, releasing four studio albums between then and 2014: 3 Words (2009), Messy Little Raindrops (2010), A Million Lights (2012), and Only Human (2014). Her solo run produced ten singles, five of which—"Fight for This Love", "Promise This", "Call My Name", "Crazy Stupid Love", and "I Don't Care"—reached number one on the UK Singles Chart, making her the first British female solo artist to achieve five UK number-one singles. Cheryl began judging the British edition of The X Factor in 2008, mentoring two eventual winners: Alexandra Burke in series five and Joe McElderry in series six, before stepping down in 2011 and briefly joining the American panel. She returned to judge the British series in 2014 and 2015, then served as judge on The Greatest Dancer from 2019 to 2020 and made her West End stage debut in 2:22 A Ghost Story in 2023. As a female singer born in England, Cheryl has navigated both recording and performance across multiple formats. Recognised as a style icon and referred to as a "fashionista" by the press, she has fronted British Vogue, Elle, and Harper's Bazaar covers and served as L'Oréal's face from 2009 to 2018. Girls Aloud went on hiatus in 2013 before reuniting for a tour in 2024. With a Life Path number of 3, Cheryl embodies creative expression and public communication—traits evident in her multi-faceted career spanning music, television, fashion, and stage.
