TBA (2007) |
The Sound of Girls Aloud is a greatest hits collection by British girl band Girls Aloud. It was released in the UK on October 30, 2006, and went straight into the UK album charts at #1 - Girls Aloud's first ever #1 album - selling 84,000 copies.
The album includes all of Girls Aloud's singles to date, as well as some new tracks, including the new single "Something Kinda Ooooh". There is also a limited edition bonus disc, featuring unreleased songs, demos and other material.
The album's cover contains an error, in that the Irish flag on the cover of the album (probably to reflect the nationality of Nadine Coyle) is the wrong way round, and actually shows the flag of the Ivory Coast.
The 2CD edition contains quite a significant error in spelling. Each of the 13 singles chart positions have been incorrectly spelt as 'postion'.
