A friend of mine talked with her and said the exact same thing, ha! He asked her which voice was her fave or something and she apparently PMed him this :

I've worked with the girlies a few times in the studio individually & as a group, both recording WAU & other tracks, & I gotta be honest - they all have amazing tones. Rochelle's and Vanessa's are super strong and bring an RnB vibe, whereas Mollie & Frankie have these amazing sultry raspy tones. Frankie has such a great recording voice, and Mollie is a pitch perfect singer. Una is amazing at ad-libs & for adding a real rock/live feel to a track.

So it answers your question : she did work with the girls on other tracks. That is if it's true obviously. I'm going to ask him for screencaps haha but I really don't see why he would made this shit up. :unsure:

 

I think she's very down to earth. She's not really a big songwriter (yet) and she seems to have a lot of dreams and all. She must be as happy as we are right now. I really hope at least one other track she wrote has been chosen. She's quite good at these hooks, to be honest.

 

- Oh why are we awaiting so long I'm suffocating

- i'll take the lead part

- Vanessa's chorus

- Rochelle's chorus

 

All insanely catchy!

US radio update -

 

151 76 SATURDAYS What About Us Island/IDJMG 88 28 +60

 

Whatever that means.

So happy they finally have a #1 in the bag, waiting for this was worse than waiting for Girls Aloud to win a brit! Really happy for them, it would have been very sad if they had never managed to get even one #1 as a group. Hopefully things will continue to get better from here!!!

They're still holding up on itunes! They wouldv'e dropped to about #5 from now

US radio update -

 

151 76 SATURDAYS What About Us Island/IDJMG 88 28 +60

 

Whatever that means.

 

Basically, 151 is their airplay position last week (on Pop radio) and 28 is the number of radio plays it had last week.

 

This week it is #76 (so far, it's a rolling chart) and has gained +60 spins since last week, making it 88 in total so far.

 

It's a start!

I think we all have to know that this is a big hit for the girls :D so I don't think we will see the back of it that quickly!

:cheer:

Cause this single has broken The saturdays dlipping tradition, I think we can now finally think about a chart run of:

 

1-2-2-4-5-9-10-13-15-18-17-19 and so on!

I'm disappointed The Saturdays are dropping off number 1 from Pj & Duncan, quite frustrating, 25% behind is a lot to gain which is something i'm heavily doubting The Sats may be able to manage.

Its still 80% though cause the saturdays have another version from the Now! Album at another 3%

It's not because they have another version higher than The Saturdays Now version that's charting!

I know, but they will obviously drop off by friday, cause they haven't exactly built up a lead as big as the sats had done before

Yeah they will obviously drop off but 25% is a great lead, and if it continues increasing by anything more than 30% then I doubt The Saturdays will be able to have a lead of around 35-40% come Friday. If Pj & Duncan are number one on iTunes still on Wednesday mid day, I assume number one should be a certain for Pj & Duncan.

I just hope for a srtong chart run for them to be honest. As long as it has longevity we shouldn't be worried

Agreed. I reckon they'll have a good top 5 run. They are doing brilliant in Ireland!!!

What a strange song to be #1. I mean I understand the classic song thing but Blue, Atomic Kitten & Five were all performed on Ant & Dec. I guess they're just very well liked by the UK public.

What About Us up to 7 on the Official Airplay chart :cheer: and down to 17 on the TV chart :(

Is that the actual official one or the one from ukairplaychart.com? Cus if its the latter it says the Sats are at number 6 on radio airplay and 8 on tv.
