While the likes of Adele, One Direction and The Wanted have all cracked the notoriously difficult US market, Cheryl Cole has revealed she has no plans to try and break the States... for now at least.
Instead, Chezza has remained loyal to her old bandmates and will instead be focussing her attentions on the forthcoming Girls Aloud reunion and her very first solo arena tour.
Cheryl - whose latest single Call My Name is currently No.1 on the iTunes chart - told the Daily Star: "I haven't any plans to try and break America this time. I'm more than happy to be releasing [her new album] here.
"It's not in my plans to tour or release there. But I do want to tour in the UK - the buzz around this album has made me want to get out there.
"Girls Aloud will also be back for a little while too."
Girls Aloud back in the day
Cheryl has just announced the dates for her first solo tour to support her new album, A Million Lights, which is released next week.
Tickets for the shows go on sale at 9am this Friday and are available from www.livenation.co.uk, www.ticketmaster.co.uk and www.ticketmaster.ie
