After four years of huge success for Girls Aloud, the time had come for "The Sound Of Girls Aloud - The Greatest Hits". Including all the hit singles from their first three studio albums, it also featured singles "Something Kinda Ooooh" and "I Think We're Alone Now", which were exclusive to this Greatest Hits album.

The album was released in two different versions - a standard one disc version, and a strictly limited edition deluxe version, which included a bonus disc featuring rare and previously unreleased tracks. 

Following the hit single "Something Kinda Ooooh", the album (released 30th October 2006) went straight in at #1, becoming the first #1 album of their career!  To date it has sold about 860,000 copies in total, making it by far their biggest selling album to date.

'The Sound Of Girls Aloud' climbed back into the Top 75 in 2008, re-entering at #44 in the week the single 'The Promise' debuted at #1.
