Cheryl kicks the week off to an explosive start as new single Call My Name has very nearly reached the hallowed 100,000 sales milestone already, only three days into the chart week.

The track is the lead single from forthcoming albums A Million Lights, and heads today’s Official Singles Chart Update having so far shifted an impressive 97,000 copies.

A Number 1 with Call My Name this Sunday would give Cheryl a hat-trick of chart toppers in her solo career, as well as matching her current career record of hitting the top spot with lead singles from her previous two solo studio albums – that’s 2009 single Fight For This Love and 2010’s Promise This.

If Cheryl manages to score a first week sale of over 128,000 come Sunday, this would also see the Geordie lass eclipse current fastest seller of the year – DJ Fresh FT Rita Ora’s Hot Right Now. A sale of over 142,000 would land her with the biggest Number 1 of the year, shaking off competition from Gary Barlow’s Sing which received a boost in its second week on sale from last week’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations.

Cheryl yesterday announced her first solo UK and Ireland arena tour.
