Ten is the second greatest hits album and final album by British and Irish all-female pop group Girls Aloud, released in commemoration of the group's tenth anniversary. It was released in the United Kingdom on 26 November 2012 by Polydor Records. The album consists of fourteen of Girls Aloud's singles, including the number-one singles "Sound of the Underground", "I'll Stand by You" and "The Promise" and four new tracks. The album was praised by contemporary music critics, who noted production team Xenomania's creativity and Girls Aloud's strong collection of hit singles. The album yielded two singles, "Something New" and "Beautiful 'Cause You Love Me". In February 2013, the group embarked on their last arena tour, that ended in 20 March with a split up announcement. Ten peaked at number nine on UK, and received a Platinum certification. Also peaked at number seventeen in Ireland, and received a Gold Certification. Four new songs appear on the album. Girls Aloud's longtime collaborator and producer Xenomania wrote "Something New" and "Every Now and Then". Girls Aloud member, Nicola Roberts co-wrote the track "On the Metro" alongside Jason Pebworth, George Astasio, Jon Shave and Dan Stein, and Rachel Moulden penned the track, "Beautiful 'Cause You Love Me". The inclusion of these two tracks makes Ten the first album since Sound of the Underground, not to be produced exclusively by Xenomania.
