Sales of Fight For This Love have already surpassed last week’s record-setting number one, Alexandra Burke’s Bad Boys.
Cole performed the song on Sunday night’s X Factor results show, drawing an audience of 14.8 million viewers.
According to midweek sales, the song shifted 134,000 copies in just 24 hours and has surpassed first day sales of Alexandra Burke’s number one ‘Bad Boys’ last week.
Burke sold a total of 187,100 copies of her single over the seven-day period, making it the current fastest seller of the year.
“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,” Official Charts Company’s Martin Talbot said.
Supporting her in the audience was husband and Chelsea defender Ashley Cole and her band mates from Girls Aloud.
Martin Talbot, from the Official Charts Company, said: “Her first day’s sales are just amazing and put her in pole position to top the Official Singles Chart on Sunday.
“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.”
