Well, it can't be doing too bad with All Fired Up selling a fair bit these days...it's probably still over Wordshaker's weekely numbers.

The singles chart is absolutely dead with no new releases for weeks (Swedish House Mafia who might go top ten, and then Lana Del Rey, and that's it). Perfect time to have released a single.

Pixie Lott is releasing as well and we don't want another repeat of what happened with All fired up! If AFU was released (when Pixie didnt have a single on the chart) with the same sales, it would've gone to number one!

No it wouldn't, Moves Like Jagger would have been #1 had Pixie not released that week (4th September). |

Itunes kept freezing because of the sales that week. Had it not been for Red Or Black I think the outcome would have been different, who knows though. |

If the Sats performed on Red or Black instead of Pixie then they would have been almost certainly be number one!

It was just an unfortunate week to release on. You can't go blaming tv shows or other artists, because at the end of the day it's the public that buy the records, and the people who baught Pixies song off iTunes had the chance to download any other song they wanted to in the top 10 if they had seen it on the front page. They wanted to download Pixies song instead. Face facts.

I do kind of agree with 2ndAdventure, although we never know what could've been. I think arguably they could've done it with the 'number 1 effect' had things not frozen and Pixie had Red Or Black but we honestly need to stop making excuses. They were behind Moves Like Jagger as well so we can't just say them releasing when Pixie did is 100% to blame.

(changing subject)
 Just in case anyone dosen't know, The Saturdays were number 7 on Popjustice year end chart for best single with All Fired Up. Other appearances: Best Video: No. 10 All Fired Up Most Ridiculous Song with a reference to a club: No. 9 Notorious Least Contorversial Popstar: No. 9 The Sats ACT WE SHOULD SEND TO EUROVISION IN 2012 !: No. 10 The Sats Best Saturday (found this catagory slightly demeaning since all the girls are amazing!): Mollie - Frankie - Una - Rochelle - Vanessa (cant exactly remember!  )So overall, not too bad! Lots of appearances! Read more: http://www.popjustice.com/index.php?option...9#ixzz1izpyyJmP |

QUOTE TheSaturdays It was SO much fun all being back at work together today! 2012 is going to be SUCH a big year for us Sats...we can't wait. xx Can't help but think what they could be reffering too. "Such a big year" in what respect? After 'On Your Radar' flopped alongside with 'My Heart Takes Over', are they suggesting that they've been given another chance for another album orrrr? A tour perhaps.. even though they used the black curtains of doom orrrrr? First thing that jumps into my mind is a Greatest Hits. Which is justifyable. They have a solid collection of singles. |

Hopefully they leave the UK and start promoting in other countries. Maybe not the US, but DEFINITELY the likes of Australia, Germany, France, Denmark, Spain etc. They can sort of justify remaining under contract if they flop in the UK but have hits across Europe. It's very odd for any UK artist to have four albums and not one charting in other countries (besides Ireland). I mean, Tinie Tempah, Ellie Goulding, Marina and the Diamonds, Chipmunk, Example, The Wanted, One Direction, Pixie Lott, Alexandra Burke, Ed Sheeran, Olly Murs, Cher Lloyd, and Nero all have at least ONE released to have charted outside UK/Ireland (with varying degrees of success), The Saturdays don't.
They can go without Una, or they can go after her birth, whatever. All they need to do is do some gigs, get some promotion, build up a relationship with the media and send out the song to TV and radio. It's not like they need to do anything in the UK for a Greatest Hits release. This post has been edited by shadow2009: 11th January 2012, 08:56 PM |

The problem is if they leave the UK they face that they could slip under everyone's radar and become irrelevent. They're hardly in a position I feel where they have a guarenteed demand when they come back.

As far as I can see, when the music is good enough it will travel to other countries easily. The reason the Sats have remained in the UK market only is because they have had to constantly work at shoving sub par songs down everyones throat in the hope that a few would purchase it. For a band to spend the last 4 years touring the length of the UK numerous times only to see their album limp to No.23 and be released no where else is simply not good enough.
Now if they come back with some genuinely brilliant pop songs they will easily sell in the UK and Europe without them having to worry about leaving one country in order to do a bit of promotion somewhere else. |

I feel like the moment for them to attempt worldwide has gone. With a baby on the way and two marriages happening... it doesn't seem like the most obvious time in their career to suddenly want to travel the world and work really hard everywhere.
 It's similar to Girls Aloud really. Although I guess they at least had two attempts at breaking outside of UK/Ireland, even though both times seemed a bit half-arsed, lol. |

Didn't they release Forever is Over in Australia, and it charted at about #81 or something.
They went to South East Asia promoting and Issues charted at #2 and Up at #5 (I think) in one of the countries they went to (If I remember rightly). Was that a chart based on sales? I think they could be successful in Asia if they did keep going every so often. |
