Cheryl Cole will be happy with this news…

After her well documented performance on Sunday’s X-Factor of her first solo single “Fight For This Love”, Cheryl Cole will be chuffed to learn that the song is selling by the bucket load.

Midweek sales figures show that the song has sold a massive 134,193 copies. To put that into perspective her X-Factor chum Alexandra Burke sold 89,384 at the same time last week. The news is bound to put a big fat smile on Cheryl’s face, especially as she has spoken about how nervous she is about going it alone without the other Girls Aloud ladies.

It’s official: Britain hearts Cheryl!
