Chemistry is the third album by British all-girl pop group Girls Aloud. It was released by Polydor Records on December 5, 2005 in the United Kingdom. The album was produced by the production team of Brian Higgins and Xenomania. Upon its debut, critical reception was generally positive, with The Guardian, NME, and Top Of The Pops including it on their best of year-end album charts. Chemistry became the group's first album to miss the top ten on the UK albums chart peaking at number eleven. Still it sold exceptionally well in the first few weeks and went on to be certified platinum. In Australia and New Zealand, the album was released on February 20, 2006; however, it failed to generate much interest.

[edit] Chart performance

Chemistry debuted at #11 on the UK albums chart, where it sold 82,000 copies in its first week, just over 200 copies behind the album in the tenth position. Since its release it has achieved platinum certification in the UK (selling in excess of 350,000 copies), where after seven weeks, it descended from the Top 75. It has since recharted for a total of ten inconsecutive weeks.

In Ireland it debuted at #34, going on to peak at number #31 four weeks later. The lack of success of the album there led to the lack of an Irish leg for the group's Chemistry Tour 2006.
