Chemistry

Chemistry is the third studio album by English-Irish girl group Girls Aloud. It was released in the United Kingdom on 5 December 2005 by Polydor Records. After the success of What Will the Neighbours Say?, the album was again entirely produced by Brian Higgins and his production team Xenomania. Chemistry is a loose concept album which details celebrity lifestyle and "what it's like to be a twentysomething girl in London." A number of the songs avert the verse-chorus form typical of pop music.

The album was subsequently certified platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) on 23 December 2005 for shipments figures in excess of 300,000 units. By March 2013, the album had sold 390,000 copies domestically. Elsewhere, the album debuted at number 34 on the Irish Albums Chart, eventually peaking at number 31 in its fourth week and later receiving a platinum certification from the Irish Recorded Music Association (IRMA).
