JAKARTA - A number of Girls Aloud released songs have taken the music charts after a number of songs. The song Hear Me Out, which became one of their songs, also became popular.

This popularity is due to one of its members, Sarah Harding, who was diagnosed with breast cancer. Even though she had already recounted the disease in August last year, her name was brought up again due to recent statements.

In her memoir titled Hear Me Out, Harding said, "In December, my doctor said the coming Christmas would be my last."

She said that at this time the disease had spread to other areas of her body. Now she is undergoing chemotherapy and hopes to still feel comfortable and not feel pain anymore.

Harding also said she received a lot of support from his former Girls Aloud groupmates as well as fans who wrote her a greeting.

Girls Aloud members

Born in 1981, Sarah Harding started her entertainment career by auditioning for Popstars: The Rivals. After that, she joined the group Girls Aloud, the winning group from the Popstars competition in 2002.

Their first song Sound of the Underground ranked first on the UK Singles Chart. Their album with the same title also got the same achievement.

Subsequent songs and albums such as the 2008 album Out of Control sold over one million copies - a huge milestone for a girl group of that era.

Girls Aloud has also been named the British girl group with the highest sales figures of more than 4.3 million copies and 4 million in the UK alone.

In 2008, Harding began exploring the world of acting by playing in the film Bad Day, the BBC film called Freefall, and following the film franchise St. Trinian.

In the midst of a transition period, Girls Aloud announced a hiatus and stated that the album release would take place in 2010. They had a hiatus and reunited in 2012 to celebrate 10 years of Girls Aloud.

With the songs Something New and Beautiful Cause You Love Me being the last songs they released the article in 2013, Girls Aloud broke up. Harding started her solo career by releasing a solo album in July 2015 since it was announced in March 2010.

Fans Support

Knowing Sarah Harding's condition, fans create a Hear Me Out campaign to support Harding. Ahead of its release, people bought and downloaded Girls Aloud's song Hear Me Out. This song was written by Harding.

The public also bought the album What Will The Neighbors Say? from Girls Aloud in 2004. Girls Aloud group mates Kimberley Walsh, Nadine Coyle, Nicola Roberts, and Cheryl sent support to Sarah Harding.

“This woman is extraordinary. The spirit she shows now surprises me every day,” said Walsh.

"This is extraordinary. Thanks for doing this for Sarah. Being able to tell her about this is a special thing," wrote Nicola Roberts.

Now, the song Hear Me Out is taking first place on the UK iTunes music charts after a long time.

“I can't thank everyone for the kind messages I've received since I received treatment at the weekend. This means a lot to me and my mother,” wrote Sarah Harding through her social media account.

I can’t thank everyone enough for all the kind and loving messages that I’ve received since the weekend. It means so much to me and to my mum. Today’s a special day because it’s publication day for Hear Me Out. At last. I actually can’t believe I’ve done it! pic.twitter.com/LPt4Y8Zr0T
