CHERYL has seen her music career targeted for the second time this year as ‘hackers’ release new music ‘by the star’.
The Girls Aloud singer stopped releasing solo music back in 2019 to concentrate on motherhood and stepped out of the spotlight.

But her fans thought they were in for a treat this week when three new albums appeared to surface on her YouTube page.
However, all was not what it seemed with the albums shared actually having nothing to do with Cheryl.
Some of the releases featured on her account include Taking Care, Inner Peace and I Miss Who I Was.
These new releases are featured prominently on her account alongside her other albums, Only Human and A Million Lights.

Credits for all tracks uploaded are incorrectly credited to Cheryl as the copyright holder as well as Ditto Music.
Cheryl’s page features a whopping 531,000 subscribers with her most viewed video on the account being her debut single, Fight For This Love, with over 114million hits.
A source told The Jattvibe: “No one quite knows how these new songs have landed on Cheryl’s official account.
“It is safe to say that the music isn’t connected to her.
“It’s all quite amusing how it has happened for a second time this year.
“Ultimately, Cheryl’s fans know and understand that her focus is being a mum to Bear and not on making a return to solo music anytime soon.”
Following the YouTube uploads, one confused fan wrote under one of the clips: “Whoever hacked Cheryl’s account, karma’s a cruel mistress and your greed shall come back upon you threefold.”
Another jokingly commented: “Cheryl Cole really went in a new direction with this sound.”
Cheryl first fell victim to having music released on her official profiles in January when her Spotify account was targeted in a similar fashion.
An Indonesian singer named Cheryl Tuasuun saw her music uploaded to the Call My Name singer’s Spotify profile in a mix-up.
Called Yesus Kau Baik Bagiku — Jesus You are Good to Me – the track was incorrectly plugged as Cheryl’s ‘newest release’ at the time and also appeared on a playlist of her biggest hits.
The track was eventually pulled from Spotify after The Jattvibe alerted Cheryl and the streaming platform.
Cheryl last performed with Girls Aloud in 2024 on their sell-out arena tour which went on to become the UK’s highest-grossing music tour that year – banking the girls millions.
