Who became the first British female singer, in 2014, to have five solo number one singles in the UK?

Cheryl Ann Fernandez-Versini is an English singer, dancer, and television personality. She was born Cheryl Tweedy but is better known as Cheryl Cole after marring footballer Ashley Cole. She rose to fame in late 2002 as a member of girl group Girls Aloud on ITV's Popstars: The Rivals, and stayed with the group until they split up in 2013. They had twenty consecutive top ten singles in the United Kingdom (including four number one singles) and six platinum albums (two went to number one), and five Brit Award nominations from 2005 to 2010, including one win

Cheryl confirmed the second official single from her album Only Human as "I Don't Care". She described the song as "very fun pop". "I Don't Care" was released on 2 November 2014 and debuted at number one on the UK Singles Chart, becoming her fifth number one in the country. This achievement made her the first British female to have five solo number one singles in the UK.

Cheryl's previous number one singles are Fight for This Love (2009), Promise This (2010), Call My Name (2012) and Crazy Stupid Love (2014).

Got it! Great question!

Cheryl obviously didn’t have the international recognition that Adele has.

Julie Domaille

I chose Adele. Don't know any of the others

She may have had 5 UK number ones, but she's certainly not the most talented among the choices offered.

I'd never heard of Cheryl Ann Fernandez-Versini. If they'd said Cheryl Tweedy or Cheryl Cole, I might have got it right. I knew Ashley Cole's wife (or ex) was a singer too years ago.
