Cheryl Cole (born Cheryl Ann Tweedy) was a dancer and model prior to becoming a member of the record-breaking U.K. pop group Girls Aloud, which released 19 Top Ten U.K. singles within a matter of a few years. In 2009, the group announced a year-long hiatus, and Cole -- who had become one of her country's highest-profile celebrities -- took advantage of the down time to record her first solo album, 3 Words, released in October 2009. Within two weeks, the album went platinum in the U.K, led by the number one single "Fight for This Love."
