Birthed from the profits of Cher\\u2019s \\u2018Believe\\u2019 and Geri Halliwell\\u2019s blink-and-you-miss-it reality show judging career, Girls Aloud are the biggest UK girl band ever\\u2026 who no-one outside the country actually knows.

With twenty consecutive top 10 UK singles, four million albums, and some of the most bonkersly brilliant bangers of the 21st century to their name, the band hit their commercial and critical summit with 2007\\u2019s \\u2018Tangled Up\\u2019, and we think it\\u2019s time that this pop masterpiece got the international respect it deserves.

Spanning the spectrum of 80s synth-pop and 90s house to 60s psychedelia, garage and ska, we dig deep into how Girls Aloud shaped our music tastes for years to come, whether or not Nadine is that Gemini we knew she was, and why Sarah Harding's bum note on GMTV should be hung in the Lourve.
