Bet it is out of the itunes top 1500 by the end of the day. They cannot even crack the UK,,,,,, still do not get why they are in the states

 

Hahaha, stfu. I do not get why your username has you as a SatsFan when you so evidently aren't. I do not get why you bother coming to this fan forum when you don't even like them - you've come here previously over and over slating them... why bother following their career if all you're gonna do is be bitter and just slate them? How sad and petty. You must lead a fun life if this is all you do. I don't like the song but seriously... it's had no radio premiere nor impacted radios in the States, no widespread promo, no nothing... it's hardly going to catapult to the top 40 in the first day of release when only a handful of people know them at present. It takes time for songs in the US to take off, nothing is decided on the first day of release especially in this instance whether it goes well or all goes tits up for them. And if 11 top 10 singles and around 3 million records sold in the UK is them being unsuccessful. Sure, they're not massive or huge sellers here but they've done alright for themselves. And I can't at your username, maybe instead of mouthing off far too prematurely, sort your username out.

LOL @ Encore's overreaction. You should know that there are realistic people too, among delusional Sats fans. No, they're not successful in the UK. They haven't been since their debut. Each era they only sell enough to get them to the next one. They sell singles because the first one is a 'comeback' song and the second one is on an album that flopped.

 

This is the point where I'd normally say that I don't care about sales and am here for the music, but we all know that girlbands have an expiration date and once the Saturdays are over, no one is going to remember them unless they've had a massive era.

Lol I did overreact a bit I admit... :blush: but he really isn't being realistic trying to make out the song is going to pretty much flop on US iTunes on the first day of release when the girls have done no promo or anything out there... that's realistic is it? Bit puzzled if you seem to think that comes under being 'realistic' and pretty much saying it's over before it's started.... pretty sure he has no mystic powers and can forecast the future. Shock horror, they may have a chance and actually do quite well out there, more so than they do well here, then again may not at all... nobody knows until next year. There's nothing wrong with the girls being determined and wanting to do well and further themselves by making things work out there... why shouldn't they give it a go? The time is right, there's no girl group there currently, the US are having a bit of a love in for British artists over there right now... and even if it fails, they tried... jeez, what's wrong with people wanting to do well and try their luck? It makes sense, whether it all goes to plan or not. :blink:

 

And I have never made out they're *huge*, and I'm really not delusional (maybe just a little :P). They're middling in terms of success... never hitting the big time, never having solid album sales/campaign since Chasing Lights, they just coast along. I'm sorry but they're not outright unsuccessful.... 3 million records is not unsuccessful. Yeah, the girls aren't major sellers or one of the big guns on the UK pop scene - and they probably never will be - but they're not completely unsuccessful. People are far too quick to belittle the girls and label them a flop at any opportunity. To me, that defines the likes of Parade with their album just making top 200 and a single just making top 40. I do worry for them this era though after the sales of 30 Days and I don't think What About Us is going to have a positive impact for them. If America doesn't work out and things don't improve this era back here then I do think they'll split next year but we'll wait and see, nobody knows what's going to happen.

I just can't wait until there's some progress either in the UK or the US. It feels like they haven't been in the charts since 'All Fired Up' (the last two singles came and went within a matter of weeks).

YAY got my iTunes+ version.

I'm going to be so bored of this song though by the time it's released over here.

Gig and signing in New York on January 17th. :)

It'll be the first time I see them!! I'm the happiest guy in the world right now.

Anyone know when it's sent to US radio? Ideally it would start to climb just in time for the documentary debuting.

I've decided that instead of What About Us, they should just release Fool No More as The Saturdays. It would be all kinds of amazing.

they have sold out their NYC gig already. that means tickets sold out in under 24 hours!

Im gutted though cause I wanted to go lol

I wanted to get tickets too, but I didn't have time to buy them yesterday. Oh well, we still have the signing event.

More tickets have been released if you want to go.

What about us is not out until March in the UK. Had an email newsletter from saturdays today stating this.

Almost a year since 30 Days then :/

they may be wiser jus releasing it as a 'buzz' single to radio/tv in jan and not bothering with an itunes release, and just add it to the EP/physical as a bside in march with a new single, its going to be too leaked otherwise to sell much

If anything, it could give their biggest first week sales and therefore finally #1?

If anything, it could give their biggest first week sales and therefore finally #1?

 

Then it'd run the risk of being one of the biggest drops from #1 of the year, and one of the lowest selling #1's of the year. I'd rather their first #1 was an actual success and not have an embarrasing chart run because it was held back for so long.

 

But yeah, we heard it at the beginning of September and now it's not going to be released until March, which means we've waited six months on a single being released. I'll probably be bored of it by the time March rolls around (I mean, how far away does that sound??) and i'm sure other people will, too.

#1 is even being contemplated for this? It'll be beaten by songs we've not even heard of yet, no doubt.

To be fair, it's only fans who will have heard it so far, even then we'll all still get it when it comes out. The radio premiere probably won't be until this time next month AT THE EARLIEST!!! :cry: :mellow:

Ugh. These girls sometimes. I can't.
