4 Number Ones.
5 platinum-selling studio albums.
A 1 million-selling greatest hits.
5 nationwide tours.
An Ivor Novello and a BRIT award.

What a remarkable report card that is for any band.

Since 2002, that is indeed a whole lotta history, some record-breaking, much genre-defying and an astounding number of brilliant pop songs.

Girls Aloud are back, back, back after three years away from being Britain’s best girl band. And they’re celebrating by taking over Deezer!

Yup – that’s right. Our editors are putting their feet up and their headphones down this week, and letting Cheryl, Kimberly, Nadine, Nicole and Sarah call the shots this week. 10 releases which are personal favourites of the girls are being highlighted as recommended picks on the service this week.

This week, wherever you see a blue heart on our Deezer Recommends, it means that it’s a release chosen by one of the girls.

So, which girl is a fan of 90’s R&B slow jams? Who picked the cutting edge hip hop? Which rock chick picked the only guitar band? Who is a not so-secret raver? Listen to a playlist of their choices here:
