Yeah, same. I was expecting MUCH worse.
 Will probably drop to the #80's next week then out of the charts the following week, though.

I mean, not that it's an amazing feat, but they beat Kelly Rowland's first week in their second week?

Mr Everything can you please leave this forum. You say the same things over and over slagging The Saturdays, are you really a fan?
Looks like I am the only person who thinks this campaign can be save as I expected so much worse. The Way You Watch Me will be released to radio's too soon which means more promotion. Hopefully a decrease in price will help the album and they are getting a lot of positive reviews from their tour and have been praised from their Jingle Bell performance. Also helps that they managed to get a massive attendance for Liverpool, They have a basically sell out for Glasgow, I only see positives outtakes from them and I think they will keep getting bigger. THEY NEED TO CRACK EUROPE to gain a bigger fanbase as well. This post has been edited by lee wallace: Dec 4 2011, 09:34 PM |

That's actually not terrible sales. Well it is, but it's alright for The Sats.

That's actually a bit of a ray of light for the campaign. 9k is closer to the 10k that Headlines! had in its second week (charting at #8) than the 6k Wordshaker had in its second week (at #40).

It should be on about 27000 so far then. Could end the year on 45k+
(Still dire.) |

I have now listened to this album and everything I thought about this era has been confirmed. It basically carries on where 'Notorious' left off in that it attempts to copy the big dancey sound at the moment (rather badly) with a few ballads thrown in. That doesn't necessarily ruin the enjoyment of the album though, which does have quite a few good songs. It's just all rather disappointing to see them SO desperately scraping the barrel for success - especially since this album could now put the final nail in the coffin of their career.
I'd agree with the people that say Faster NEEDS to be a single. The chorus is a bit of a letdown but it's the best on the album except the first two singles and I WANT TO CLUB TO IT DAMMIT. |

I know each to their own and all that, but I literally can't even see where you're coming from. I've seen other people make similar comments too and I just don't get it. I will give you that Notorious chases a sound but the rest of the album doesn't sound particularly generic too and to me it's a million times LESS faceless than their previous albums, all of which were quite bland to degree... I guess what I'm saying is they never had a 'sound' before. They just dipped in and out of various genres with little conviction. This album has a sound of its own and it's made me the kind of serious fan I never thought I could be for these girls.

I can't understand how you CAN'T see it really but I guess it's just one of those "agree to disagree" things. The album is an alright album and I'm sure I'll like it a lot more by the time I see them do it on tour, but each (uptempo) song sounds like they've looked at the chart, taken a popular song or producer and tried to imitate it. The album has a sound, but to these ears it's cheap and terribly derivative of everything else. I would enjoy them a lot more if they came out with a strong, original pop album (which imo, Chasing Lights was a good warm-up for. I've not heard their other albums). At least then they'd be flopping with some sort of dignity rather than, as I say, scraping that barrel and go out pedalling copycat choons. I DO like the album though. I think the ballads are particularly strong and really enjoy Faster, Get Ready Get Set and The Way You Watch Me. I'm no music snob - an album not being original or amazing doesn't stop me from getting into it (see: most of the music I like.) |

QUOTE The Saturdays have insisted that they are pleased with the chart performance of their latest album On Your Radar. The group said they are "happy" with the chart placing of the LP, which entered at number 23 last week before dropping out of the top 40 yesterday. Vanessa White told Digital Spy at Capital FM's Jingle Bell Ball: "It was a really busy week and we've never really released at this time of year in the build-up to Christmas. "We're really happy with it and we're proud of the album because we had a lot of input. We're really looking forward to performing all the songs on tour, so it's an exciting time!" Dicussing their next single, which was rumoured to be their Travie McCoy collaboration 'The Way You Watch Me', she revealed: "We don't know what exactly the next single will be yet. We haven't decided, but it could be that song." The Saturdays previously claimed that a number one single would mean "so much" to them. Yep, of course Vanessa...

Thing is, I actually think The Sats SUIT a bit of dance/dubstep. 'Promise Me' on paper sounds like it just wouldn't work at all but they've actually done an amazing job of it.
Only duds on the album for me are Wish I Didn't Know (which sounds like a 90's album track from some American female singer) and Move On U (which is just plain boring). |

Oh I REALLY like Wish I Didn't Know! It was one of only two or three that I enjoyed on first listen. But then, I do like my ballads. |
