Girls Aloud's Official biggest albums ranked

Girls Aloud are back.

Cheryl Tweedy, Nadine Coyle, Nicola Roberts and Kimberley Walsh have announced The Girls Aloud Show 2024 reunion tour. A show that'll 'celebrate' the legacy of late bandmate Sarah Harding, who tragically died from breast cancer in 2021, it'll take the group to arenas across the UK and Ireland next summer.

In all the excitement, we here at Official Charts recently revealed Girls Aloud's Official Top 40 biggest songs in the UK to date; from Number 1 singles I'll Stand By You and The Promise to fan favourites Untouchable and On The Metro.

Now, we should probably rank the girls' Official biggest albums.

Let's take a look at the Top 3.
