June 14, 201015 yr Did Chasing Lights not peak at No.11? I thought Wordshaker was their first top 10 album?
June 14, 201015 yr Both albums peaked at #9, 'Chasing Lights' eventually climbed to its during the 'Issues' campaign. :)
June 24, 201015 yr Author The Saturdays have sold 1,842,615+ copies out of every single release! :) Singles 311,000 Up 286,000 Ego 254,000 Just Can't Get Enough 245,000 Issues 147,798 Forever Is Over 107,000 If This Is Love 101,000 Work 1,451,798 Total Albums 317,696 Chasing Lights 73,121 Wordshaker 390,817 Total Era's 1,335,696 Chasing Lights 500,919 Wordshaker
July 10, 201015 yr Wow wordshaker sold bad compared to chasing lights! i did buy chasing lights because of up but i wasnt convinced of wordshaker
July 10, 201015 yr do they have any worldwide sales? i remember talk of them breaking america a while back :rolleyes:
July 10, 201015 yr I think their songs would do well in America, it's all about breaking the market. They'd need to firmly establish themselves in the UK first at least, maybe after this mini album they can go and promote in Australia, France, Denmark, Ireland and other smaller markets and break those countries first. Right now they're exclusive to the UK and are having slightly less success in Ireland than here, probably due to no promotion.
July 10, 201015 yr Like the comment says, i think they should focus on the smaller markets first, but maybe one day they could, they appeal alot more than girls aloud would. I think focurs on the smaler markets like, spain, france, germany, ireland, austria, australia :) because girls aloud had one single in the top 50 in australia and they didnt do that much promo, so imagine the sats getting loads of promo :') i mean forever is over got to number 83 in australia without any promo :)
July 10, 201015 yr they appeal alot more than girls aloud would How so? There are no big personalities in The Saturdays that anyone bar the fans are interesting in, nor are there any celebrities. because girls aloud had one single in the top 50 in australia and they didnt do that much promo, so imagine the sats getting loads of promo :') i mean forever is over got to number 83 in australia without any promo :) Yes, and Cheryl Cole has had a top 10 a further top 50 single on the Australian chart with no promotion. Also the fact you said that Girls Aloud got a higher peak than The Saturdays, both of which had no promo, shows that Girls Aloud could be bigger too. Jeez, some of the 1-sided arguments I see in this forum are absolutely pathetic! And I wonder why I barely ever comment in here. :rolleyes:
July 10, 201015 yr they appeal alot more than girls aloud would I dont think so, girls aloud have huge appeal that is refelected in all of their albums being hits and their continued popularity. girls aloud memebers are household names the saturday members are not know individually they are just known as the saturdays! im sure they will one day though but i do like the saturdays.

July 10, 201015 yr The only GA member who's a household name is Cheryl. To most people outside of their fanbase it's Cheryl and the others. Sarah and Nadine are known thanks to tabloid coverage but to a much, much lesser extent. But you're right about the Saturdays. Frankie is the most well-known and she's not yet a household name.

Jeez, some of the 1-sided arguments I see in this forum are absolutely pathetic! And I wonder why I barely ever comment in here. :rolleyes: Then don't come here, I'm so sick of your "I know everything" attitude. You state all of your opinions as if they are gospel, but you talk so much rubbish it's unbelievable. If you were such a Girls Aloud fan, you would be aware of a little show called "Off The Record" which documented their trip (as well as other trips) to Australia. The show showed them promoting on Australian TV.. I'm not saying that The Saturdays are going to break the US or Australia, but to completely write them off is just silly. The only reason Cheryl gets any sort of acknowledgement is because of her connection to Simon Cowell and The X Factor. Girls Aloud comes in a lengthy third place. And her household name status is because she participates in one of the most watched TV shows all year? I'd bet a years salary that the other 4 aren't household names. Funny that!
July 16, 201015 yr I'm really surprised by the big sales for Chasing Lights, then such a sharp drop for the sales of Wordshaker... hopefully this new EP will do better for them. The singles have sold pretty well though.
July 19, 201015 yr 300 000 isn't that great Do you just come on here to be negetive? :s 300,000 is BRILLIANT for a debut album! Surely you'd see that if you compare it to some other girl group debut albums. The Saturdays - Chasing Lights, 320k Girls Aloud - Sound of The Underground, 360k Sugababes - One Touch, 220,728k I actually collected alot more sales figures from girl-group debut albums but realised at the last minute that non of them still exist today. So above are the 'last standing' girl groups.
July 19, 201015 yr To be fair. sales have changed now. Album sales were dreadful at the time GA released. The Sats album has done okay. Not particulary amazing but not awful. I mean Pixie Lott had 5 singles from her album (with sales the same as The Sats) and she's on 500K BUT considering how awful The Sats have been managed and the fact that it was a GIRL GROUP (which these days never do well) they've done very well on their own merit. They're always going to be known for their amazing singles and sales rather than album sales, anyway.
August 14, 201015 yr Headlines wil be their highest charting album for sure. Edited August 14, 201015 yr by sclub7fan001

I was just giving my opinion, just like your entitled to yours. Jeeez Anyway, i think that headlines could get around about 5ish or 6ish :) The first week sales will be about 20,000+? i think, but i expect it to drop out of the top ten the next week :/
