Cheryl Cole has revealed that winning a Brit award has been the highlight of her musical career with Girls Aloud. The girlband won the gong for British Single for their number one hit 'The Promise'.

They beat off competition from Coldplay's 'Viva la Vida' and Duffy's 'Mercy' to take the prize.

When asked by Attitude magazine what was the best moment of the last decade, the X Factor judge said: "When we won a Brit Award. We'd been together nearly seven years before we won a Brit and doing Wembley Stadium was amazing.

"We never thought we could get this far. We could only have dreamt it."

Girls Aloud were created on the talent show Popstars: The Rivals in 2002. The band consists of Cheryl Cole, Nadine Coyle, Sarah Harding, Nicola Roberts and Kimberley Walsh.

Cheryl's debut solo track 'Fight For This Love' is set to become the fastest selling single of the year.

Cole single managed to shift 134,000 copies in the space of just 24 hours.

Alexandra Burke, who Cole mentored in X Factor 2008, sold a total of 187,100 copies of her 'Bad Boys' to take the top spot in the charts.

Martin Talbot from the Official Charts Company said: "This will be second successive week of massive single sales - led by Cheryl.

"Her first days sales are just amazing and put her in pole position to top the Official Singles Chart on Sunday."

"Together with Alexandra Burke, she is likely to set the sales standard by which everyone will be judged for the rest of the year, in the run-up to Christmas."
