Nadine Coyle`s debut fails
NADINE COYLE has sold an embarrassing 117 copies of her debut solo single.
The GIRLS ALOUD star, who was always billed as the band`s best singer, now has the dubious honour of occupying the lofty heights of No35 in the midweek chart.
Even Irish TV puppet DUSTIN THE TURKEY could do better than that.
And Nadine, who signed up to that well-known record label Tesco for her new album, had better brace herself for a mega trolley dash to improve her position later this week.
The singer, who released Insatiable exclusively through the supermarket, flogged 117 copies, according to official first-day sales figures on Monday. Digital sales were dire too - just 2,439. It`s a chart disaster compared with her rivals.
RIHANNA racked up 47,000 downloads with new song Only Girl (In the World).
And CHERYL COLE`s sales figures rub further salt into Nadine`s wounds.
The X Factor judge has shifted 566 hard copies of track Promise This and 27,643 on t`internet - in her second week of sales. And she sold a whopping 157,000 copies in the first week.
With Nadine`s efforts on the promotional trail and all the Girls Aloud support, she should be moonwalking into the Top 10.
The Irish singer has also failed to make it on to the Radio 1 playlist - a surefire sign the song is a stinker.
At this rate she`ll be in the reduced aisle with stale muffins by Thursday.
There`s no mistaking Nadine`s got a good set of pipes, but she`s about as endearing as malaria.
Maybe if she`d put some work in over here instead of keeping her head down in LA, it would have fared better.
Her increasing rift with popular bandmates SARAH HARDING, NICOLA ROBERTS, KIMBERLEY WALSH and Cheryl can`t have helped either.

Quantcast
Nadine, pictured after showcasing some of her songs at Koko in Camden, north London, on Monday, is the first solo artist to release a debut album through one retailer.
Even though it follows a successful deal by Tesco with dance legends FAITHLESS, who have shifted 80,000 copies with the supermarket since May, it`s not started off so well for Nadine.
