In a previous study I named Cheryl Cole as the most talked about Girls Aloud singer on the internet.

But how does Cheryl square up to her new work colleague Dannii Minogue?

Like her sister, pop star Dannii has been around since the 1980’s and joined the X Factor panel in 2007.

Cheryl and her Girls Aloud crew may be Britain’s biggest girl band, but with less than six years of fame can she be more talked about online than Dannii?

Cheryl may be the most famous Girls Aloud member, but Dannii is more famous online.

Having a famous sister has meant that Dannii’s name is often mentioned when Kylie’s is. This is the likely reason why Dannii has so many pages indexed in Google that mention her name.

A huge back catalogue of records means Dannii is tagged on over 1,000 videos on YouTube. Videos Cheryl features in are tagged Girls Aloud rather than Cheryl Cole.

Cheryl does do well on newspaper and gossip websites, due to her high profile marriage.
